You were a SMASH HIT at our National Directors of Nursing Conference! Our CEO, Forrest Preston, doesn't choose to give books to our associates unless he is impressed with both the message and the messenger.

Carl, what an excellent presentation you made at our annual meeting! Thank you for emphasizing being a complete person, involving physical, mental and spiritual care.

EXCELLENT! I am going to recommend you to all of our people across the nation. Thank you, Carl, for doing your homework. Both
your seminar and after-dinner presentations hit the mark!
GREAT KICK-OFF! Your very positive, upbeat, customized keynote address gave PASBO members the proper perspective for the remainder of the Annual Meeting.
You did it again! The comments I received on your presentation this year were EVEN BETTER THAN LAST YEAR! I appreciate your preparation, effort, energy and unfaltering professionalism!
Thank you for "A Strategy For Winning" and the EXCITING and ENTERTAINING manner in which you presented it at our International Sales & Engineering Meeting!
A RESOUNDING SUCCESS! You delivered the inspirational, motivational message we needed and it was enjoyed by everyone.
An excellent job! It must be gratifying to make people laugh, feel good about themselves, and inspire them to push their boundaries, whatever they may be. YOU ARE GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO!
From Argentina, to Australia, Greece, Japan, India, Russia, Venezuela, and all countries in-between, you did a TERRIFIC JOB of communicating with everyone!
Your presentation of "A Strategy For Winning " was a HIT with our sales associates and managers! I overheard several senior executives discussing the merits of your talk and how timely it was.
Your seminar for our management team and your banquet address to our board of directors were EXCELLENT and ENERGIZING! We
will be in touch with you to discuss other ways in which we can work together.
Our people were thrilled by your professional, informative and inspiring presentation at our National Conference! Many commented on how they were impressed by the apparent research you had done on AVP and appreciated how you CUSTOMIZED the three-hour seminar. We just wished it had been longer!
"The BEST PRESENTATION I have ever heard," is how many of our people described your half-day seminar on "A Strategy For Winning." I'm sure you already know what a hit you were.
Thanks for another great presentation. Our people HOLD YOU IN HIGH REGARD, and I hope to find some way to get you before our people on a regular basis.
"Developing Or Updating Your Club's Policies & Procedures Manual," presented as a full day seminar, sounds dull and boring. But you made it INTERESTING, ENTERTAINING and INFORMATIVE! Great job!
Our people realize that you came into a rough situation and led us in getting things turned around. With your surveys, your seminars and your meetings with management and board, YOU HELPED US TO GET ON THE RIGHT PATH. We look forward to building on this with you and continuing to progress.
You EXCITED a lot of coaches with your "Strategy For Winning!" Of course, I'm sure you were aware of that by the way they cornered you after your presentation! (Did you ever get to eat?) We were pleased with our lineup of Gene Stallings, R.C. Slocum, Dave Wannstedt, Tommy Tuberville, John Mackovic and others - but you were the exact change of pace we needed!
Carl, you have keynoted our annual meeting six times - and that says a lot about how OUR PEOPLE RESPOND TO YOU! We look
forward to your being with us again in 2003!
Spotlighting the fact that all successful people have problems to overcome, and emphasizing the necessity to ACCEPT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and MAKE A COMMITMENT, to me, was the highlight of "A Strategy For Winning." Your advice to concentrate upon what one does have rather than upon what one doesn't have is fundamental, but often neglected<85> Thank you!
