Engaging, Enlightening Presentation That Kept People Spellbound …
“Thank you for the very enlightening, entertaining, and extremely useful seminar to our base. The information you presented was so very helpful to our unit. Your method of presentation kept everyone engaged, actively listening, and many times—spellbound. We will be using your techniques for many years to come. And I have received nothing but positive comments about your presentations. We want you to come back for a base-wide leadership seminar.”
Colonel, U. S. Army National Guard
People Can’t Stop Talking About Your Program…
“People can’t stop talking about your program, and the feedback is reaching the highest levels in our Regional Office. In addition, people are stopping me in the halls and telephoning me to tell me what this training meant to them. One lady stopped me to say that it was as if someone, somehow, knew that she needed this, and there it was. Another one called it a slap upside the head. I heard a lady in the cafeteria line today talking how great she felt. It was great to finally meet the person who has been providing me counsel for years through the ‘Tuesday Tip.’”
Director, Social Security Administration
Everyone Loved The Program…
“I want to pass on our thanks for the outstanding program you put on for our junior force. Your program and presentation was truly phenomenal, and I know everyone who attended agrees. The only negative comment we got on our feedback forms was in regard to the room in which we held the event. Everyone loved the program!”
Cost Analyst, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Program Brought Instant Successes…
“I’ve been in the health care business for years and have attended a number of programs nationwide, and I have yet to see a program as comparable or effective as yours. We have witnessed some instant successes amongst our staff already. And over a four-day period, our staff rated you and your programs an awesome 4.94. On our five-point scale, that’s almost perfect. Those are the best scores anyone has ever gotten from our staff. I have to say ‘Phenomenal’ and ‘Rejuvenating.’ You will be invited back.”
Director, Indian Health Service
Worth Every Penny…
“Your presentation at our All Staff Training Day was VERY enlightening, so I want to personally thank you. In fact, we had employees … who never like any of the training we do … who are negative about everything … say, ‘Bring this guy back. Whatever you paid him, he’s worth every penny of it.’”
Warden, Minnesota Department of Corrections
Real Solutions Instead Of Useless Theory And Hype…
“Now, more than ever, in these tough economic times, our customers are looking for not only the best use of their time and training dollars, but also the best solutions to the problems they face in leading others while trying to do more with less. They have little patience for theory or hype – and found none in your program.
And when so many people say, ‘It was the best training session I have ever attended’ and ‘Bring Dr. Zimmerman back,’ I know the investment was more than justified.”
Director of Management and Professional Development, State of Missouri
Program Brought About A Miracle In Attitude And Results …
“After Dr. Zimmerman spoke us, I saw a much more pronounced positive attitude throughout our organization. And in the months that followed his program, we kept the attitude going as we faced two audits, one from the National Guard Bureau and one from the 1st Army. We performed a near miracle, and it was largely attitude. When our audit results were compared against other states, we delivered the best results of any state in the past five years! Please tell Dr. Zimmerman that his conferences are invaluable, and the proof is in the pudding.”
Staff Accountant, U.S. Property and Fiscal Office for Florida
Made A Difference In Our People And Our Organization…
“We are sincerely grateful for your well-received workshop on the topic of self-esteem. Of all the workshops we offered, yours had the highest attendance. I believe that’s due in part to the importance of the topic. I also believe it’s due to your reputation and skill…and your message of inspiration and hope. You need to know that you made a difference in our people and in our organization. We can’t ask for more than that.”
Manager, Ramsey County
No One In The Audience Will Forget Your Program…
“Your message was right on the money and inspired us to re-look at our attitudes and the expressions we make when a new idea is presented to us. And the demonstration dealing with negative thoughts and how they affect a person’s abilities was awesome. No one in the audience will forget it.”

Our staff got so much out of your program that we continue to talk about the power of positive and negative attitudes at work … months after your program. And to me that is proof that your programs more than pay for themselves. Very cool!”

Everyone in the audience was actively engaged, and through your demonstrations everyone experienced the instant effect of positive leadership skills as well as the visible effects of negativity in an organization. Your program gets an A+++.”

What a Pleasure to Work with You…
“It was a pleasure working with Dr Zimmerman and his office staff. They were flexible, friendly, timely, and professional every step along the way of our long contracting process.

We want to hear more from Dr. Z.”
Dawn Manier
Staff Officer, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Style and Substance Your Audience Will Long Remember…

Two were with a large group of 200+ and two were with an intimate group of 25. In each audience, Dr. Zimmerman skillfully blended personal storytelling, interesting research/fact, humor, interactive exercises and powerful learning. I highly recommend Dr. Zimmerman. He is a speaker of style and substance who your audience will remember for a long time.”
