"Just a quick note to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible presentation you delivered at our recent conference. I have heard nothing but positive remarks about it from many of the Franchisees I represent. I found your presentation to be both refreshing and uplifting which is difficult to find these days with all of the negativity we find ourselves surrounded by.

"I would be very remiss if I did not express my delight regarding the excellent seminar you conducted for the Institute in Canmore, Alberta. All 25 participants were totally unanimous in requesting you return to deliver another seminar. You were able to satisfy the needs of the bigger home builder company executives (400 - 600 homes per year) as well as make the same information absolutely relevant to the small home builder company (10 - 50 homes per year). Most notable was the great enjoyment expressed by everyone in working with you. I have been involved in education and training for over 30 years. I can recall at best, only two other occasions where so much enjoyment in what they were learning percolated so quickly through a group of people consisting mostly of strangers. I give you my heartfelt personal thanks for these results. It makes my job of locating high quality seminar leaders such as yourself that much easier."
