"Many thanks for the coaching and advice. I would have been in deep trouble without your assistance."
Colin Powell, General, US Army, retired
"Your advice and guidance were the best I've received in twenty years of public speaking -- you taught this old dog some new tricks! I'm a fan for life! Thanks for the great pointers -- I thought I knew it all (hah!), but you taught me some great new ideas."
John D. Kemp, Executive Director, United Cerebral Palsy Associations
"...had it not been for the camp I never would have felt as prepared as I did the day after the camp when I had to deliver a ten minute speech at the UN on Global Health and Cancer. The Hendersons performed a miracle and now it's possible for me to speak anywhere, and at any time. Not that the nervousness is totally gone, but it's under control. I'd like to thank you, and Roy and Jeanette in particular, for giving me the confidence and courage to take the next step, and to opening my mind to possibilities. They are wonderful, gifted and caring professionals. Please let me know when and if you plan to have another camp at the next level, or over a longer period. (signed) A much better speaker,"
Barrie Adedeji, CPA

Mark R. Knowles, Executive Director, National Pharmaceutical Council
"Thank you for working with me at our recent National Convention. This is not the first time you have helped me make a speech better than it would have been otherwise. It was a pleasure seeing you and your wife Jeanette again.
You both are truly podium masters."
William H. Frist, MD, Senate Majority Leader, United States Senate
"Thank you very much for your assistance. Your advise proved quite valuable."
Rod Paige, United States Secretary of Education
"...my sincere thanks for the outstanding advice and coaching you provided to me and all the other speakers. As you know, I've had some experience presenting before live audiences, but never to an audience of 12,000. Your skill was not only in demonstrating how I could improve my presentation, but in calming that jittery feeling that every performer must feel before a huge audience. I'm pleased to say my talk received rave reviews. But even more amazing to me was the metamorphosis I saw among office workers who had never addressed an audience. From the first rehearsal to the final performance, the change was incredible: from a shy, scared person who didn't want to do it in the first place, to the confident, dynamic presenter who played to loud applause and probably would have taken the show on the road if she had the opportunity. It was a great experience, and I thank you for your guidance."
"Thank you... I appreciate all of your help at the 1996 Republican Convention."

"As you can imagine, I have been through tons of these types of sessions, and had become a bit jaded about ‘consultants’. You guys really offered practical, succinct and effective ideas. It was great."

"This program should be required CLE for every attorney... its one on one workshop nature elevates (it) far beyond any helpful hints' course on public speaking... I would highly recommend it!"
