Dear Karl:

Thanks again for the wonderful presentation last Friday! As you know, it’s so difficult to please everyone; the grizzled veterans who have “heard it all”, the neophytes who maybe need more “milk than meat”, and everything in between. However you presented it clearly enough and in a practical enough manner for the newer kids on the block, and your style was more than sufficiently engaging with enough examples of application, for us older folks.

What follows is fairly representative of the commentary you evoked from you audience:

“Absolutely excellent – speaker is very knowledgeable, and able to communicate by using many examples. We are only effective in our jobs to the degree that we are healthy and emotionally intelligent people.”

“Organized yet flexible, great examples, very understandable. This was great training.”

“Karl is a very good instructor. He is engaging and humorous. He was very knowledgeable and able to communicate the key points effectively.”

“Karl has a great personality and is knowledgeable.  The part on dealing with difficult people was excellent.”

“Karl was beyond excellent; he was flexible and went into more depth when asked. Thank you. It was great and entertaining as well.”

“The information Karl presented will be very helpful in dealing with difficult clients. It will also help me in my interpersonal relationships.”

“Very organized and easy to follow. Karl is a great teacher, with great examples, humor, and respect. He helped us to look at and take care of ourselves. Thank you Karl!”

“Karl was interesting, entertaining, and helpful. Good info and very good handouts.”

” Well organized. Karl is a great speaker; great presentation, great humor, and easy to follow!”

“Excellent speaker, knew his topic”

“Karl, you did a great job going with the flow, and understanding this group.”

“Karl is very easy to listen to with a great sense of humor – very lovable. I will apply many of the concepts.”

I have to say Karl that I’ve never heard a presenter described as “loveable”! It’s probably a good thing. I also have to tell you that you were neck in neck with the food in terms of favorable response. Knowing this group’s obsession with food, and considering the buffet, I would say that this is definitely a good thing.

Sincerely,

William Hess

AMFCCL Fall Conference Co-Chair
