| "For many years you have provided excellent presentations for the FDIC, whether a keynote speaker for a conference, conference breakouts, or classroom training. And your presentation on November 9 on Minding Your Own Business: Building Your Credibility, Influence, and Reputation to out Contracting Department was no exception. The feedback I received from the managers and supervisors of this group said you were right on target with what they needed and the evaluations from the employees also reflected a positive response. Your flexibility in being able to tailor this class to our group before and during the session was remarkable." |

| "This program has tremendous value to me because it helps me organize my thought, deliver my message clearly, and have more confidence expressing my thoughts whether it be to one person or a large audience. " |
|
Bonnie Larson, Director of Marketing SELCO Credit Union |
| "What an inspiration you were to those juniors and seniors in my Public Relations writing class. Im sure they never had the opportunity to hear the kinds of valuable lessons and tips you shared about making successful speeches and presentations. Several of them talked with me at length after class about some of the things you said. But I believe they were responding to the person you are as well as what you had to say. The way you convey your joy in what you do and your positive outlook on life is so valuable to these young people as they start their professional lives. I think you definitely made a difference on Wednesday." |

Leslie Habetler Adjunct Professor University of Oregon School of Journalism & Communication |

What surprises me the most is that I'm even looking forward to using them." |

The individual meetings you have had with our lenders, new accounts, and marketing staff have enhanced both their motivation and production. Your recent facilitation at our management retreat way extremely topical and inspirational. Words cannot properly express the value you bring to a company like ours.

| "Stand Up & Speak has had a tremendous impact on my presentations, from quick conversations in an elevator to a 10, 20, 30 + minute presentations. I learned techniques to build rapport, credibility, and enthusiasm with an audience, which certainly has made me a much more comfortable speaker. I saw some improvement after the first meeting and then the group setting enabled me to practice what I learned and get some positive feedback on my speaking skills." |
|
Monica Hanson Director of Business Resources Eugene Chamber of Commerce |
| "Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at our Marketing Conference last month. As you can see, our participants rated you the highest possible for overall program. Also, given the number of phone calls I received following the meeting, it is evident that the group members are implementing tips they learned from your session. I cant hope for anything more from a session. " |
