What Entrepreneurs Think About the Workshop:

"The return on time invested in the workshop is phenomenal. Even experienced entrepeneurs and executives will come away with dozens of improvements to their story that would otherwise have to be learned the hard way through many painful 'live fire' experiences."
- Tory Gattis, Stewart Automotive Systems

Our Annual Investor Forum was a resounding success, and we got many compliments from investors on the quality of our presentations. This seminar was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to our entrepreneurs. Having seen their presentations both before and after your input, I am certain that they would not have had as much investor interest had they not attended your workshop. Not only did the entrepreneurs all rave about the value that they got from the critiques of their own presentations, but they recognized the value of watching others and hearing your feedback to them. As I watched the presentations at the Forum, I saw your influence in each presentation.
- Keith Lowe, Alabama Information Technology Association

"I, along with everyone in the room, was very impressed. You were really teaching by example (practicing what you preach)."
- Matthew Tarler, Cleveland Medical Devices

"Excellent Workshop! Your knowledge of the commercialization process was truly impressive."
- David Kragman, IM Systems

Thank you for a terrific job. Your passion and desire to see us all succeed in our entrepreneurial ventures is clear. You made terrific suggestions, and I hope we can all make the small adjustments necessary to become more effective.

"I didn't even present, yet your comments and suggestions to the presenters were the most helpful of any that I have heard or received. My business plan and presentation need your magic touch."
- Gary Leslie, Colorlink, Inc.

"The Art of Telling Your Story," was absolutely the best thing that has happened to me since I've been at my local incubator. You'd have been so proud of me at the venture forum. I rearranged the slides after you pointed out my strengths and what I should lead with. I created a few new slides and tossed many of the old ones after that session, and it turns out you were right! Person after person (including those difficult "peers") commented afterwards that mine was the best presentation of the day.
- Terry L. Heaton, Ansir Communications Inc.

"I really enjoyed attending the workshop, it was a great opportunity to see first hand, reactions to our presention, pros & cons about it. Also very interesting hearing about other companies and seeing their ways of presenting."
- Betsy Baker Landry , Hynomics Corp.

"You provided an enlightening speech for lunchtime entertainment. Your topic and specific examples relative to the growth of small companies genuinely struck home."
- Kevin Bobier, Nova Engineering

"Most value added program ever attended!"
- Attendee
