"Al,

You were able to break through to our employees and make them truly think about their work in a different light.  Following your presentation, our employees responded not only by word of mouth but through their interactions with each other and members of the public.

You motivated and wowed the staff through your exquisite use of short stories. Your points about self-perception and how we all use personal filters to perceive the world around us were enlightening.

You did much to strengthen the morale of our office. Thanks for spreading a bit of sunshine to a group of employees at a time when they needed it the most."

Dear Mr. Duncan,

Thank you for your wonderful presentation to our staff.  Your visit was during a time when employee morale was at an all-time low.  Your presentation was encouraging, upbeat, and informative.  This was not an easy task at 8:00AM!  However because of your energy and enthusiasm, everyone's attention was focused on you the entire time.

The information you provided was invaluable, simple, practical, and very easy to understand.  Employees are often heard inspiring each other with your saying... You exuded high energy that was infectious and it was obvious that you have a passion for people...

Your presentation had a powerful impact on everyone in attendance.  I look forward to recommending you for another presentation in our Agency.
