"It was the meeting highlight of my life. It is absolutely useful for the boardroom."

"I gave an inspired 'band of brothers' speech to my entire Lancaster plant (40 persons), quoting Shakespeare re: reputation as well as suggesting that, although it's easy to always look to management for your solutions, we each have it within ourselves to control our destinies. And if they do their part. I can assure them that my senior team will do theirs and together we'll look back and share the glory of security and success after absorbing both growth and new processes on our way in one year from a 3.5 million plant to an 11 million dollar plant. Thanks for the tools!"


"The Kennedy School at Harvard University "alumni gave you rave reviews - for the before - and after-dinner events last Thursday...Both of you were terrific! I am very hopeful we can find a way to bring you to Cambridge again!"


"Thanks for your great contribution to our leadership conference. Your presentation was outstanding, and we have received many wonderful comments about it. For helping our participants understand that learning leadership can often come most powerfully through the pen, images, and words of others, your stage event could not have been more effective."

"Homerun! We really appreciate your work with our midshipmen, students and cadets. The performance was extremely well-received and "turning liabilities into assets" jumped out in the discussion of the entire conference. You both were magnificent, and your effort couldn't have been better. Our heartfelt thanks for helping us to make our conference successful. Hopefully, you'll hear from other schools interested in this subject and get the opportunity to spread the word in different directions. Mighty WELL DONE!!!!"

"The performance you two gave at our offsite was nothing short of sensational. People were talking about it the whole way home. I'm sure they'll continue for some time."
