What they're saying:

"Your presentation was one of the most practical and life changing lectures of the conference. The information about the handshake built a bond between the guys at the conference that was never there before. Everyone was walking around practicing the "one up" handshake all week, which allowed them to bond in a way I never saw before at any conference. I think that is why we are such a close group. Your class was a key to the family atmosphere". - Kathy J
