Testimonials

Here's what some of our clients have said about the creativity workshop. 

From all the feedback, your session was educational, enlightening, very appropriate and entertaining. Sounds like a 'grand slam' to me. Thanks very much."

 Gary Schluckbier
VP, Technical Services
Global Engineering
The Kellogg Company


"Our group had a chance to interact in a way we never have. And I was amazed at what we were able to accomplish as a group - I would never have believed it was possible."

Keri Bemoras
Account Executive
Aetna


"It was a great way to get to know our team members in a different light. I believe that it did accomplish a chief goal - everyone has something to contribute. I went into it with a lukewarm attitude and ended up thoroughly enjoying the experience. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time."

Steve Boomershine
Nat'l Category Mgr - Beverages
BP Amoco


"The buzz in PCI's hallways is that if the White Sox could hit as many homeruns as you did today, we're home free. I know that everyone who participated feels that their time was well spent and we have lots of good take aways."

Richard Barry
President
Public Communications, Inc.
(during 2005 World Series)


"Brendan had the formula to make a strong team even stronger while focusing on specific exercises to correct known weaknesses."

Andrew DaMiano, President

"An enjoyable and useful morning. We tend to forget we can be creative -- let alone remember to encourage it."

Bernie VanCourt, Chief Operating Officer

"I was able to go back to my center and utilize some of the exercises, then incorporate listening skills into consultation."

Arlene Fleagh, Center Director

"Wow. My sales group got a lot of concrete ideas here that we can apply to our jobs every day. And it's always easier to teach someone something while they are enjoying themselves."

James Golon
Midwest Regional Manager

"Brendan's program was so clearly positive, encouraging us to affirm and build on one another's creativity and to work as a team...  He was engaging and kept us involved in the process. It was a very creative, enjoyable and worthwhile day."

Sr. Judith Murphy
