"Dear Rob: WOW! Thank you for the truly outstanding, inspirational, educational and down right entertaining presentation to the Iowa Farm Service Agency manager's conference this past September. Your efforts and attention to details sets you apart from other speakers we have used in the past. No doubt, you provide the total package! In the 29 years I have worked for the Agency you are the first presenter to receive a standing ovation. It takes a special kind of a person to be able to bring 300 people to their feet and you are that person. Congratulations! I certainly hope we have an opportunity to invite you back for additional training in the future."

"Dear Rob, You really did "WOW" the audience with your program on Total Loving Care! Because I was coordinating the events, I sat in the back of the room. I had a good view of the audience and saw how they were all focused on your presentation. With over 200 staff members in attendance that was no small feat! I think one of the key factors was the way you integrated our mission and values into your presentation. It was clear that you had done your homework. I can say that I have never seen a speaker engage our staff the way you did. The fact that you had everyone on their feet applauding at the condlusion said it all. Getting folks enthusiastic enough for a standing ovation at the end of a long day speaks volumes! Again, thank you so much for sharing your time, talent and, most importantly, your positive message!"
