Our employees LOVED you! It was very refreshing having a man of your character come and speak at our event. When you hear the prefix “Dr.” before someone’s name you assume him or her to be ‘highly educated and a little stuff.” You on the other hand were whimsical, funny, down to earth, and offered advice we could all relate to. Your messages offered our employees a choice on how to deal with stress on all levels of life. You made our event a memorable one and one that staff will be talking about for a long time to come.
