TESTIMONIALS:
"We provide a leadership development retreat for over 400 of our staff three times per year. Each event is more difficult to plan as we must find new information and new ways to energize and engage our staff. Jeff Wolf was the keynote speaker at our 14th event and he has raised the bar! Our supervisors and managers could not stop talking about the great day they had just experienced. Here are some of their comments. My office "team" talked about the whole thing for over an hour! We covered all aspects, and had a lot of good feedback and overwhelming enthusiasm for the day, topic, Jeff, and are thrilled for the next one" TIMELY, FUN, GREAT, AWESOME....just a few words from our department. One of our managers is speaking at a conference soon about the challenges of being a new manager. He said he took pages of notes from Mr. Wolf and even modified his own slides because he was able to take more than one "nugget" away with him!" Here it's two days later and this morning I was approached by a couple of the Leaders who couldn't stop talking about this event. Loved Jeff Wolf and very positive about his breakout sessions. We look forward to having him back soon." Suzan Herzig, UCSD Health System Planning Committee Director

"I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your keynote presentation at our national sales meeting. The comments from our field staff were outstanding! The time you spent interviewing many of them showed in the presentation. It is not often that we get a speaker who knows so much about what we do, and can turn it into motivation for our staff."Dick Bristol, Director, Ace Hardware Paint Division
"I want to thank you for delivering the Consultative Approach to Business Development and Overcoming and Handling Objections workshops at CVS' annual sales training conferences the past two years. The feedback from our sales team has been tremendous! The programs were informative, entertaining and the hands-on exercises made it easy to incorporate the information into our sales process. Sales people can be a tough audience, but you did a terrific job of motivating and educating them and the survey feedback validated that everyone came away with great ideas they can immediately take back and implement. Your ability to customize each workshop was a key to your success as you were able to use our terminology and real life examples which really resonated with the attendees.

Jeff, thanks so much for the excellent programs you presented and we look forward to having you back for many more!" Glenn Mitchell, Area VP, CVS
"Your presentation was fabulous! "It's All About People," truly captivates the essence of the business world when it comes to the most important resources of a business, it's people.

"Jeff's presentation to our group was phenomenal! With over 200 people in attendance, all participants felt Jeff's presentation was right on the mark and exactly what we were looking for to rekindle energy within our companies. The healthcare industry faces huge challenges that drain our executives and workforce, so we were looking for a speaker that could help us regain our passion for our livelihood and put fun back into the workplace. Jeff set us in MOTION! Our participants took Jeff's words to heart and gave us feedback that they are putting some of his suggestions into practice, that he renewed their determination and confirmed many of the leadership ideals we already know, but forget. On behalf of the Healthcare Billing and Management Association, I wish to thank Jeff for his effort in putting together an excellent program - he was EXACTLY what we were looking for!" Sherri Dumford, President, Education Committee, HBMA, Board of Directors

Jeff showed us how great leaders can attract great people who in turn create great companies. As I looked around the room I saw many business owners and executives furiously taking notes on his perceptive comments. One of our long time attendees stated we need to have more speakers just like Jeff at all of our future meetings. Jeff not only encouraged and inspired us, but he also showed the path--the path that leads to the next level today's leaders must take to overcome tomorrow's challenges. If your group includes business leaders and executives I would strongly encourage you to make the right choice and call Jeff Wolf today. You will not be disappointed!" Walt Winkelman, Founder & President, Business Sense, LLC
"Wow! I just can't thank you enough for your inspiring presentation on leadership and its relationship to professional association membership. In this day and age of budget crises, companies are trimming their association membership budgets. Your message about the relationship between membership and leadership in the industry really resounded with our attendees. With so many travel industry professionals wondering what they can do to change the forecast for business travel, your presentation really stands out with real life examples of how stepping up can change your life, career and industry as a whole. From the perspective of an association president, I loved the fact that you took time to interview members of our Board of Directors to find out just exactly what we were looking for. And it doesn't end there. You actually took the information and tailored your message so that our group could get the maximum benefit from your years of experience. So often, I have sat through educational speakers who deliver the same presentation no matter what the group. Thanks so much for the custom information that targeted the specific needs of our members." Toni Lee, President,San Diego Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International

"Thank you for customizing your presentation, "Delivering Exceptional Customer Satisfaction" for the Los Angeles chapter of Community Association Institute.

"From start to finish, working with Jeff Wolf was a great experience. Booking speakers for my association's events has its challenges, as we have members at all stages of their careers, plus supplier members. Hiring a speaker who can captivate my diverse audience often proves difficult. This time, I hit the nail on the head by selecting Jeff's carefully crafted leadership program for my event. Based on the evaluations, our attendees felt the program delivered state-of-the-art information and noteworthy leadership reminders. I always ask my presenters to provide a list of take-aways so attendees can immediately begin to use what they've learned, but some never follow through. In contrast, Jeff's bullet-pointed action steps were outstanding! I would recommend Jeff to any group looking for an informative, energetic presenter—no matter the audience. Thanks, Jeff, for making me look like a rock star!"Katie K. Voorhest, Marketing & Education Coordinator, Indiana Society of Association Executives
