What People Are Saying

Your program at our leadership Conference received outstanding reviews. As you know our company is going through some major changes; your message was extremely timely and well received. You are easy to listen to and you educated us to another level. Your program gave people a big-picture perspective on how we go through changes and it is our own personal resilience and inner strength that helps us deal with change.

--- Tom Lawless, CFS, CFP, American Express Financial Advisors

Your presentation truly touched our members and left them revitalized to return to their sacred work of caring for our nation's elderly. In my nine years with ACHCA, I do not recall our association ever giving a keynote speaker a standing ovation!

---Jan Lamoglia, Director of Professional Development & American College of Healthcare Administrators

This is a highly discerning (read: critical) group not to prone to generosity of spirit. The fact that your session was greeted with overwhelming superlatives indicates that you had broken down their own perceptions and perhaps did help them to recognize or rekindle their own sixth senses. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. And 'wisdom' is a word I almost never use.

--- Mike Muckian, Director of CUNA Councils, CUNA Marketing Council (Credit Union National Association)

Your talk was right on target not only with what we requested from you but more importantly, what we needed from you. You certainly struck some nerves in the organization. You caused our people to think about weighty issues and rethink their preconceptions."

---William B. Howes, Chairman and CEO, Inland Container Corporation

The oft-overused phrase so comfortably fits, it must be re-used: you have touched us, and we have grown. You are a rare, multi-talented person. We are grateful for your sharing your time and your thoughts with us.

--- Rogers K. Coleman, M.D., President and CEO, Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Texas

Your remarks hit the spot in a way that keynote speakers rarely do! You both challenged and inspired our participants, with a clear understanding of the work they do and the difficulties they face.

---Katherine Campbell, Association for Volunteer Administration

You made 550 rehabilitation professionals forget their problems for a short while and set the mood for the conference! Your message is one that those in the helping fields must hear in order to maintain any semblance of sanity."

--- Karen Freiman, AZ Rehabilitation Services Administration

We have had many great speakers, but never anyone better than you.
