THANKS for such a MOTIVATING and INSPIRATIONAL day. You have a true GIFT.   The best testimony to your effectiveness was that week-end, when one of the attendees was overheard at Starbucks relating your philosophy on “Striking back at Mediocrity” to one of her friends with such enthusiasm!  You may have only spoken to 110 people but your message was heard much farther.  Thanks for the new “You CAN do it” attitude!

You have followed your dream and are making a difference in others' lives. What an uplifting action plan. Again you were a great addition to this not so mediocre group of Insulation Manufacturers, Fabricators, Distributors, and Contractors. I think we gained three plumbers after they passed in the hall and heard the resounding Drip-Drip-Drip!Ha! Sincerely, Southwest Insulation Contractors Association David Patrick President He was a powerful speaker who motivated me to make changes. Any conference that doesn’t start with a speaker this motivational would be much less desirable to attend” Tampa, Florida “The best speaker we’ve had in the 18 years I’ve been coming. Very upbeat and interesting! Let’s have more of these please” Sally Frost - California Dental Society  Hi Fred, Thanks again for your dynamic speech at the credit union conference this past weekend.  It really meant a lot to me and I wanted to thank you again.

The combination of high energy with attainable common sense ideals is very powerful. I was very challenged to make changes in my life.
