You are one of the best presenters I have worked with in the ten years I have been designing conferences. The many superb evaluations we received are a testimony to your enthusiasm, your ability to give way beyond expectations, your expertise which you very effectively illustrate with personal stories, and your uncanny ability to motivate people to action.

Dear Barbara:
I have been wanting to write ever since I met you at our Managers Meeting in Chicago and thank you for giving me so much encouragement and support! I feel so blessed to have met you! Since I have been back from our meeting, I have worked very hard with my associates to increase our service (we already had done well in the past, but recently had experienced a slump). Our customer satisfaction score went up THREE points in November, and I attribute it to you and your message! I am planning to order several of your books for reading over my vacation after Christmas and I LOVED your website. Thank you again for all you do for everyone everywhere!

Great class coupled with great ideas. Well put together. Thanks!

This company needs this on every level.

This was the best class I've ever taken.

First time I've every shed tears in this organization that were not tears of absolute frustration.

It was really nice to be in a seminar that was placing emphasis on positivity and creativity.

I think this program, out of the many I've participated in, actually gave concrete ideas to take back and apply. One of my supervisors came to the morning session. I can't wait to brainstorm with him. So many of our seminars are not realistic to the job. This one was GREAT!

Very energizing. Truly uplifting.

I loved the program. The overall concepts are so simple‹but so significant‹and overlooked by many. I want to go read all your books! This program puts everything into perspective. Everyone in the company could benefit from hearing what you have to say.

This needs to be offered to all staff.

Best presentation I've experienced so far at the Merc.

I really appreciate what I've learned, realized, been reminded of through this workshop.

The whole company should attend.
