In my almost 20 years here with the Steven's Center for Family Business, I've had the opportunity to work with some excellent presenters, consultants, and family business experts. You are definitely a standout! Your excellent blend of solid expertise, new and impactful information, captivating story-telling, charisma and stage presence, ability to engage the audience, captivating delivery, high-quality hand-outs, adroit use of technology, on-target answers to audience questions -- all combine for an exemplary presentation. Thank you for bringing the whole package to the SCFB!

...tremendously impactful... The example you set with the quality of both your content and your delivery were transformational for me... Your presentation did more than explain about the generations, it took our minds places we had not known to consider. We didn’t spend five hours learning a few things, we invested our valuable time wisely, with returns that will impact us both in the short and long-term. Following your presentation, I spoke with five different people about what they learned. Each one of them was incredibly impressed with your content - and each of them took something different away that was most impactful for them in their lives. Your content transformed each of us to think and act differently, and to know we will be more successful interacting within and across generations - for different reasons. We were all amazed at how much we remembered about what you shared, because it made sense and you connected it with what matters to us in our success!
