Testimonials

“I have to tell you your session was the best attended session of the conference.  YOU were the talk of the show.  Let's face it.  It was standing room only and a room twice the size would not have held everyone!”

Steve Harper, President

NMGI

Hutchinson, Kansas

"Incredible presentation...a must attend for all managers!!"

"Outstanding session, lots of great material and information."

          Comments from attendees

          Convergence Conference, March 10-14, 2008

“The highlight of the conference was Russell's keynote address to the membership.

“Russell put all of the members through an insight program. Members filled out a questionnaire and got a package on their entire make-up -- their strengths and weaknesses and how you relate to someone who is not like you. The membership said they were going to take this program and bring it to the balance of its own employee base.”

          Rick Reid, President

          TechSelect Canada

          Calgary, Alberta, Canada

“The presenter (David Russell) did a really great job, and the room was packed in spite of being the last hour of the day.”

“… (his) explanation/costs/summary approach is very effective.  I took over 2 pages of notes in the first 30 minutes. … personal stories were very enlightening.” 

“…best session so far…”  “Excellent Session”  “Great session…”  “Great speaker…”  “Loved this session…”

          Comments from attendees

          Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, July 10-12, 2006

"I've attended many business improvement seminars in the past, but usually as soon as I leave the session I'm back in the fast moving water, and rarely get to remember, never mind implement, any of the ideas that were presented.  I find that the monthly CDs are a great way to reinforce the concepts and to give me the extra push to act on them.  ...I'm glad you pushed me to get on with the program.  It's been very handy to organize and motivate my team!"

Carlos Paz-Soldan, President

Tenet Computer Group

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

“I first learned about Success with People from attending the recently concluded Microsoft Partner Conference. I was quite impressed with the no nonsense talk of David Russell and promptly subscribed to the Success With People Club. It is a most valuable tool for a small business such as mine.  The monthly leadership CD and "e-consultation" for people management issues are a great value for the money. These are resources that I would not otherwise be able to afford."

Juan Chua, President
Nexus Technologies
Philippines

“I feel that people are so busy with the day-to-day; they forget to step back and took a look at their business.  This (Monthly Leadership) CD reminded me of a couple of basic things we need to accomplish at NetGain Technologies.  Otherwise, I might have overlooked them for some time. It contained data that leaders should be reminded of and how they should start now in order to lead their people.”

Mark Jacobson, President
NetGain Technologies
Lexington, Kentucky

“There are number of great management books explaining the best practices for Human Resources.  David's one-hour "how-to" seminar was able to accelerated positive HR changes in our company.  Let's face it: for a consulting company like ours, a human capitol is by far the most important asset and the Success With People Club, was for us, the next logical step.  It is like having a meeting with your personal coach every month.  Without hesitation, I would recommend the Success With People Club to anyone considering managing people.”

Greg Koniecek, President
