"Thank you for the great job of setting the stage for my Theatre Operations Review. I received positive feedback on the points you covered and the practical approach you took. Without prompting, many of the managers who presented their 'best practice' ideas over the two days highlighted the importance of 'People first, then business,' so they got your message. Thanks again, and hope we can work together again in the future."

Your convincing ideas and tactical approaches have inspired me along my way to success!"

"It's good that you had a chance to speak with my wife and get the real scoop. I'm sure she conveyed how pleased and grateful I am to be working with your associate David Palmer. You called it—he really understands my audience and my material, in depth, and his edits and advice are right on target.

"Even though I had your wonderful tapes oh how to design and deliver presentations, my attempts to apply your principles were at least 90 degrees off. The one-on-one David provided has pointed out the course corrections I needed. His edits of my draft were excellent. I went through his revised draft sentence by sentence, and in every case I preferred his version to the one I had sent him.

"At first, I had trouble with his proposed title, 'Change Your Focus, Change Your Success.' However, I've shown it to several colleagues (and I understand from David that he has consulted with you) and all are enthusiastically supportive and approving of his phrase. So, I yield to the data!

"Thank you so much for your insights and continued interest, and for making David Palmer available to give me the detailed coaching I need."
