“We have not had a speaker who, within a half hour, was stirring the pot and generating questions and challenges from the group. He stood firm with stories to back up his philosophy and we shared a lot of laughs along the way.” -- Joe LaRussa, Chair Convene San Diego, CA
“In the 17 years of SCN, he was truly the best speaker ever….and SCN prides itself on seeking the best speakers in the business. I had no idea
what a profound effect he and his message would have on the attendees.” -- Linda Miles CSP, CMC Founder, Speaking Consulting Network
“The Group gained much value from the workshop and also found it interesting and stimulating. It was relevant to all of us with considerable ‘take-home’ value. [Chuck] had an easy engagement with members and that was appreciated.” -- Brent von Sierakowski, Chairman TEC 70
“I started implementing my plan but I didn’t have the right team to make it really happen. After going through several management and staff changes, I ended up with two exceptional managers. A clinical manager and an office manager. They are both leading the team and make most daily decisions. The employees that didn’t buy into the new management and methods left on their own. We now have an amazing team and my revenues increased by 30%. I have been profit sharing with my staff for the last six months where they have seen additional income as high as $1000.” -- Dr. Alan Markowitz, Great Boca Smiles
