Could Your Organization use a Jolt to move them towards Higher Performance?

What His Audience Has To Say:  Just wanted to follow up with you and let you know that everyone had great comments on both your presentations. The message you delivered does truly fit all aspects of our lives and business. The enthusiasm and right on deliverance of your message was in itself inspirational. 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 I received nothing but positive feedback from all of the attendees……everyone was quite impressed.   You have impacted them all in a powerful way I hope that you will consider being a part of our convention in 2012 in San Diego. Thanks again for bringing us positive and inspiring messages. Best Regards, Peggy J. Hall Executive Vice President Plumbing, Heating/Cooling Contractors of California "I attended several of your presentations at the FAHSA conference a week or two ago and enjoyed them very much.  I think your programs were by far the hit of the conference.  I did not speak with anyone who was not impressed and motivated in some way after listenning to you- myself included." Jerry Griffing   Vice President of Support Services,  Westminster Services, Inc. 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 "Awesome words that will stick and stay and make a difference in my life!"   Cynthia Derrity, North Carolina Assisted Living Association “Fred, you were definitely a hit. My husband commented that you were the best keynote speaker he had ever heard. And, he has heard many!” Lila Beasley – Tennessee "Great way to start the conference!
