"The New England Aquarium certainly is a hotbed of activity and your discussion on how to stimulate creativity in such an environment was very relevant for us. I particularly enjoyed the historical perspective you provided on creative hothouses. While each example was unique, the similarity in thinking "outside the box" and respecting individuality wihin each group context has lessons for any organization that values creativity." - Ellen R. Hurley, VP Communications & Marketing

"Writing with Power" was a very constructive seminar that provided real-time, concise information that transformed our employees' communication overnight. Two year later, they're still discussing that seminar." - Liz DiBenedetto, Human Resources Director, Schafer Corporation

"In one day, my writing skills were changed forever." -- participant, Schafer Corp.
