Your message of resilience was right on the mark! I especially appreciate how you molded your speech to compliment the theme of our program. Ringing in my ears I still hear your words: strength, courage, attitude, higher, faster, stronger and even lagniappe. Clearly, you are a man of many gifts and talents. What you gave us was more than inspiration. It was a model not just for our business but how we should live our lives each and every day. You're the best!"

Your message became a focal point of the conference, and provided us with a common language from which we could communicate a true understanding of the concepts conveyed. It is rare to find a speaker so entertaining and enjoyable during their presentation and equally memorable and quotable hours after their presentation. You have a true gift for both delivering your message and creating a lasting impression on the listener."

The comments that I received from those in attendance solidly substantiated our choice of you as our speaker. People who have been in education for a number of years are often skeptical of the buildup that a speaker of your caliber receives. The educators who were present were profoundly impressed by you. My build-up of you as the best speaker I have heard in my 36 years in education was verified."

"I would like to thank you once more for coming to The Palmdale School District to share such a beautiful story. The staff loved it. Many of us were tearful. They still ask how me how I found. They were blessed and I am glad your presentation was the first one they heard this year because it gave them the strength they needed. One teacher said to me: 'Ivonne, I was told I would have an inclusion class this year and I was disappointed, but after such a presentation, I will look and treat the disabled kids differently.' Thank you once more Roger, you left a legacy on each heart."
