Your humorous message had our members laughing out loud and smiling as they left. THANK YOU! I have had so much fun with all of your items! Your message made us all realize that it's how we deal with life's obstacles that determine our attitudes. In addition, you brought daily frustrations to the table, things everyone could relate to, and showed them how the "reaction" will determine the final outcome - mentally as well was physically! I will proudly recommend you to our state associations as well as at our National level. Every group, regardless of the industry, will truly benefit from your program! Best of luck - keep smiling and keep bringing laughter into our world!”

As you may know, staff and management in banking supervision can be a "tough" crowd as we are trained to be skeptical.

“You have given us a new way to deal with stress at work. The next day several people in the department were using their nose flutes. To this day the crown is still being worn. I have noticed family pictures hanging in cubicles, and the day after the event Paul sent out jokes over e-mail. We have used your video for several staff meetings. Now we have passed it on to other departments and the feedback is good. We have also witnessed people kicking their chairs at the end of the day and asking them to 'stay.' To this day I hear our staff members talking about you to others.”
