Dear David and Karen,
As coordinators of the 2008 Patient Caregivers Symposium, we want to thank you for your very special part as the Keynote Speakers for our June 5th event. Your presentation “Martial Arts for the Mind” fit beautifully with our theme of coping with change and reducing stress, and blended superbly with the speakers that preceded and followed you. The strength of your topic ensured a highly successful, informative, and fun event.
Evaluations were positive, and we have received many comments from staff stopping us in the halls offered thanks and praise. Several staff told us they have begun doing the short meditation exercise and they do feel it is making a subtle difference they can notice.
Enclosed are the evaluation summaries for your review. Your overall ratings averaged from 228 participant evaluations are excellent: “Knowledge” was rated 4.6 of 5 and “Style” rated 4.5 of 5 maximum scoring. The comments are transcribed from the evaluations.
After reviewing the comments and talking with participants and our team of helpers, many of whom are also educators themselves, we feel you delivered what we hoped your presentation would offer our attendees.
It was as much our delight to work with you both, during our planning phase prior to the June 5th event, as it was to participate during your presentations that day. We would highly recommend you to any other Sutter and healthcare groups who may be looking for speakers on your topic.
With much gratitude and appreciation, THANK YOU, David and Karen!
