Dear David and Karen:
Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation on Stress Management. You did a marvelous job and the feedback on your workshop has been extremely positive.
When I previewed your course at one of the public programs you give on occasion, I was very impressed with the content, format, and delivery of the session. Your presentation represented all the aspects I had been looking for – professional, research-based, dynamically performed, balanced between practice and theory, and extraordinarily useful.
I was delighted when you agreed to offer the same presentation to my management group. What I didn’t tell you (I didn’t want to raise your stress level) was that the group of sixty managers were all veteran educators who definitely have a “show me” attitude when it comes to staff development. In fact, the core of the group was composed of people who do staff development for a living – a very tough audience. Well, the reviews are in and you guys were an absolute hit. Yours was the single highest rated program we have ever had. The comments about your program were uniformly enthusiastic. The blend of information and tools about stress that David presented in such a dynamic way, and the actual practice of meditation led by Karen, was very effective. Many participants told me that it was the most valuable training they had ever experienced.
So, again, thank you. Educators have a tough and stressful job and you have given them the means to effectively cope with that stress.
I could go on and on singing your praises, but I must now face that I have the impossible task of arranging future programs that live up to the high standards that the Gamows have set. Breathing deeply…
Sincerely,
Tom Fitzpatrick
