Here are just a few of the speaking engagement testimonials received:I just want to thank you for an outstanding presentation to the Guilderland Chamber of Commerce on "Work/Life Balance: Tips & Techniques." I call it "outstanding" because you are always yourself, always honest and humorous but even more, you "walk the talk". Kudos to you and continued success in all your endeavors and goals and yes, your daughter is a very blessed young lady to have such an insightful and loving Dad! Pat Baldauf, MS, CRT, Reality Therapist, Support Center for Managing Change at Wildehausen Many thanks for serving as the Master of Ceremonies for the Waterford Community Table Day. You flavored the day with enthusiasm and good humor and did a splendid job managing the flow of the festivities. It was fun working together and we did some good for the community. Pauline Bartell, President, Bartell Communications, Inc.Thanks for the terrific program on Reinventing Yourself in Retirement. There was a lot of positive feedback about the workshop - you are a good motivator! Meg Mauer, Librarian, Albany Public LibraryThanks. I really enjoyed meeting you and hearing your talk about networking at the Albany Junior League Training this weekend. Although you were the last presenter during a very long day, your session was upbeat, thorough and very energizing! I hope we are privileged enough to hear more of your pearls of wisdom. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Jennifer Carraher Thank you for the slide presentations. The students really enjoyed your presentation and rated you very highly on the evaluations. Thanks again for being dynamic! Betty P. Shadrick, Ph.D, Office of Graduate Student Diversity (University at Albany, State University of New York) Thank you for being our guest presenter at the Guilderland Chamber of Commerce's Lone Rangers meeting. There is no doubt about it, your presentation was extremely well received. It was one of the best that the Lone Ranger's Solo Entrepreneur's Group has had. I am hoping we can schedule you for another date in the future for a similar topic. Roger Lipera, Chair, Lone Ranger's Solo Entrepreneur's Group (Guilderland Chamber of Commerce) You rock! The "Kids of the Future" loved you. Your presentation really set the tone for the day. Our opening presentation was so important for that reason. When we turned them loose, they were energized and open to learning. Thanks for all your hard work. It was a pleasure to work with you. Leesa Pagan, Organizer, CareerExpo '07 (Schenectady, NY) You did a dynamite job in connecting with the kids. In my opinion it is the most this audience has been connected with a keynote speaker in the 4 years that I have been involved with this project. I wasn't as involved in the preparation as I had been in the past, but your enthusiasm has renewed my interest in the project. I hope to see you again next year, if not sooner. Dave Connelly - KAPL Security I wanted to take a moment to extend a sincere thank you for donating your time and expertise last Saturday at the Student Mentorship Program. You are phenomenal at what you do and I gained a ton of valuable information by sitting in on your discussion. I have only heard positive feedback on your performance and I can’t thank you enough for adding such value to the program we hosted for the students. >Rachel Zimolka, MPA, Business Development Executive, Sunmark Federal Credit Union I wish to thank you for taking the time to speak with the Sales Management classes on October 12, 2006. We were honored to have you as our guest. I appreciate your willingness to share your experience, knowledge, and professional expertise with my students and myself. We found your presentation “Sales Careers” on the practical issues and challenges of career management, activity management, and career strategies, to be extremely interesting, informative, and thought provoking. We appreciate the time and effort you put into preparing this presentation. Students were impressed with your interesting thoughts on some of the questions and issues concerning resume building, internships, interview preparation, and sales careers. Your experience as a career counseling expert was amply evident. Additionally, students were privileged to get an entrepreneurial perspective on selling functions and their significance as an integral part of a broader vision for a corporation. Raj Devasagayam, PhD - Associate Professor of Marketing and Management, Siena College He gave us a good way at looking at the real world in the work force…. I took his information very seriously and though about the pros and con's and gaining that experience, it put me at a crossroads though due to the fact that I was planning on going straight to graduate school from Siena. His information was very effective and helpful. Student,Siena College Tom did a great job and was very informative and I'm assuming very helpful to the junior's in the class. Hearing what he had to say will be very helpful to get them and gear and hopefully take it seriously. Although I have already been able to experience the real work world through internship and an actual full time job while going to school what he had to say is very true about how it can be a very big change for the student who is just used to the school scenario. Overall, he seems like a really nice guy and genuinely cares about our future. Thanks Tom! “I thought that the guest speaker was very good; I learned a lot from him. I like how he talked about job experience and internships count towards job experience. He was very interesting and very outgoing. It was nice of him to take the time to talk to us. Student, Siena College
