“As always, I enjoy our humorous and “productive” meetings together.  I want you to know how much I appreciate the way you not only “listen,” but you “hear” what I’m saying to you. You have a way of processing quickly and giving phenomenal insights.

“I always feel enriched and re-energized after our meetings. You help me see things from a different perspective and push me to step out of the box a bit.

“There are many potential distractions during our public meetings (ie. gorgeous women walking about;) however, you remain focused on our time together. I respect and appreciate that about you!”

“Hey Reid, want to say thank you for all the business coaching. It has really helped my business and gang prevention ministry grow leaps and bounds. The knowledge, wisdom and resources you have provided have been priceless.”

P.S. By the way…. No, Reid did not ask me for this testimony, I just felt compelled to write this at this time.

God Bless,

“Thank you so much for being our model speaker [Friday, April 23, 2010 and presenting “Study Together; Stay Together.” You did a fabulous job. You brought a lot of enthusiasm to our contest. I do believe that you are well on your way to becoming a professional speaker. I was so happy to not be your evaluator because I would have had to really reach for some suggestions for improvement. I am anxious to hear more of your speeches.”

Fondly,

Toastmasters Speech #6 – “Designing Happiness (Marriage 101)”
Presented April 1, 2010 while acting as “model/target” speaker for the Area 51 Spring 2010 Contest in Sacramento, CA.

“One of the best “body language” speeches I’ve heard in a long time. Very animated! That’s what makes it work. Well assembled and organized. Great way to keep focus on just a few points.”
