Your presentation was both enlightening and intriguing.  I found myself immediately taking assessment of myself and how I communicate with my family as a father and husband.  I know that this information is originally targeting our fire organization, but I found it to be valuable to the most important relationships in my life.  I hope this expresses the value that I saw in this presentation. 

I think that in today’s leadership courses it is difficult to bring truly unique or breakthrough ideas to the table.  Many courses are reinforcing ideas or concepts that have already been covered.  I believe these courses to be extremely valuable because we all require refreshers or reinforcement to keep the skills and knowledge we learn.  BUT…. I felt that your presentation not only provided the reinforcement of tried-and-true knowledge and skills, but you also provided me with some unique techniques and fresh approaches to better communication skills. I felt that you showed humility and vulnerability which helped the people in the room put their egos aside, while being confident and driven enough to hold our interest.  Fire Officers are a tough group to present to.  Your presentation is the best presentation that I’ve participated in since coming back to Buckley Fire.  Thank you for your time and efforts put towards our leadership.
