"Richard was a huge success here in Ukiah, CA. I have never had such positive feedback from employees. The employees loved him and want to know when he will be coming back! Looks like Richard will be a regular here with NCO. So many of the employees loved his songs, in fact at the last NCO Governing Board meeting one of the employees started singing one of Richard's tunes! Employees felt very up-lifted, one employee told me it was the best thing NCO had ever done for them! Wow! Isn't that powerful?"

"Last November, I had the opportunity to hear you speak at Southern Pines, NC when I was Safety Secretary for progress energy. This meeting was the most beneficial meeting that I have ever attended. You are a very talented speaker and left a lasting impression on me. I have always wanted to be able to lead meetings like you--in this respect, you are my hero!"

Cynthia Thompson Progress Energy

"It has been several months since I attended your seminar in Orlando. I regularly use many of the things I learned there. However, there is one phrase that I have carried since then. "Tickle the hypothalamus." Your explanation of that small part of our brain, with the visual aid, has made me very aware of its power. I just wanted to share that with you."
