“I was truly impressed with the way you were able to weave your experience with our work in the call center. It was interesting speaking with my staff after the meeting, how each one was able to relate something you said to the things they deal with daily in our center. Your talk was not only motivational, it was educational as well. We can not thank you enough!!"
Timothy P. Falk, Cablevision
“We knew that you were amazing, but I do not think that I truly understood just how dynamic you are until last night! Please accept a heartfelt thank you from all of us. Last night was a "slam dunk". We have received amazing feedback from all in attendance which speaks directly to your ability to inspire us.”

“Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your efforts in this year’s “Chalk Talk” and “Fantasy Game” client events. Feedback from colleagues and clients alike has always been extremely positive, particularly around your enthusiasm and how you made everyone feel. While these experiential events are well organized, it is people like you who bring them to life and add the “priceless” element to their experience. In short, you help us deliver on what we hope to accomplish-----a unique and memorable way to show appreciation to our valued clients.”

I want to personally thank you for making our broker event such a memorable one. Your motivational message of the importance of perseverance and the interdependence of individual and team achievement resonated with our group. It was also great to see the attendees put it into practice on the basketball court, guided by your coaching expertise. The positive feedback we have heard from many participants tells me that this event definitely belongs in the victory column. I wish you continued success with this worthwhile program.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your participation in yesterday's Sports Management High School Seminar here at Seton Hall University. Dr. Ann Mayo has also asked me to pass on her sincere appreciation for your efforts in supporting the Sports Management Department on this annual event. Your speaking about your "Life in Sports" to the high school students was very enlightening to all parents, counselors and the rest of the Seton Hall community in attendance, including myself. On both a professional and a personal level, I really appreciate the time you were able to spend with us and talk about your personal experiences in the sports industry, and I am certain that most of the students were very inspired by your true life
stories.
Again Charles, thanks so much for your enthusiastic participation at our high school seminar. I have no doubt that it would not have been the success that it was without your presence.

I did not get a chance to thank you for a job well done. I think you did an awesome job discussing entrepreneurship and the characteristics it entails. In addition, the freestyle question and answer was a great way to gage what the teens wanted to discuss. Overall, I think you presented well and I could not have planned it better.
I hope the freedom to present and discuss openly was helpful. Once again thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to share with the teens at Christ Church.
Fred Brown, Christ Church, Montclair
