I had the pleasure of listening to your speech at the Leon I. Gintzig Commemorative Lecture. Thank you for your presentations. I really got something out of them. Often I listen to speeches at luncheons or attend seminars that don't give me any new tools that I can use. As a result of your presentations I feel motivated. I liked your presentation. You were able to get participant involvement in your presentation in spite of the large audience. Your sense of humor in presenting the many pitfalls we fall into drove home your points most effectively.

I thoroughly enjoyed your keynote address and conference session on Wednesday. As a matter of fact, your lunch address was so inspiring, that I hurried down to the registration desk and changed my afternoon session in order to hear more of your wonderful ability to motivate. I thought your presentations were excellent. You use humor superbly and I especially liked the stretch breaks during the afternoon sessions.

I enjoyed your presentation for two reasons. The first is because you gave some concrete reasons for why we are all so chaotic and needing 36 hours in a day. The second is because you included in your presentation some simple ways to address these factors. My thanks to you for shedding light on a subject that aggravates us all on a daily basis.

I enjoyed your presentation very much. Since listening to you, I have been successful with doing one thing at a time. I am working on incorporating your other hints too! Keep up the good work.

I was impressed. Your balance of fact, common sense and humor made for an enjoyable presentation with plenty of 'take aways.'

It was a pleasure to hear you at the convention in Las Vegas. Your information was insightful and fun! Thanks for your insights and the great information!

Your ability to excite a crowd and hold their attention, particularly at the end of several intense days, is fantastic. I look forward to attending your next seminar in the not too distant future.

Your presentation that I attended at ERC's Management Symposium in Boca Raton last month was fantastic. Thank you for delivering such "high impact" information, that can be used in everyday life. I'm still working on those horizontal surfaces (aircraft carrier decks). Additionally, your business cue card is a great reference.

You are a rich resource and your insights are invaluable. During the beginning of your presentation, I immediately knew that I was going to gain a great deal. Between your accomplishments and your professional presentation style, you will always be on my recommended list of speakers.

Wow! Your energy and information were top notch. I learned a new way of viewing the world and my participation in it. You gave me what I wanted, namely new and practical advice. After leaving your presentation, I shared your viewpoints with colleagues. How we manage the information age with industrial age tools was a real eye opener. I don't think I'll ever open my mail, read a magazine or spend my time in quite the same way as I used to. Thank you for sharing your insights in an enjoyable way at our meeting. I look forward to seeing you again.
