It is a rare talent of a subject matter expert to bring the appropriate balance of theory, practice and humor to a presentation so that the audience remains engaged throughout. We could not help but be drawn in by Harold's engaging style. His infectious enthusiasm for learning has clearly had an impact on our senior leaders. Most have embraced the concept of senior staff as performance improvement agents, much to the benefit of both our junior/intermediate staff and our bottom line. Thanks for a job well-done, Harold. What you taught us actually did stick."

Tom O'Dwyer Training Manager - Servicing Training CitiMortgage, Inc. thomas.odwyer@citigroup.com	"Thank you very much for the informative and entertaining two-day program you presented to the CitiMortgage Servicing Training team which combined your books, Telling Ain't Training and Training Ain't Performance . The delightful way you presented your books has improved our design and development of front-line staff training due to the implementation of more exercises using the mnemonic learning principles you discussed. We have found that using the techniques described, our audiences are more receptive, better prepared to implement changes, and frankly, happier with the training product we produce. Your presentation has had a demonstrated impact on over 2,000 employees of Citigroup."

Gary Van Voorhis Instructional Technologist Millstone Power Station Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. Gary_j_van_voorhis@dom.com	"Harold Stolovitch's combination of wit and expertise actively engaged a tough audience of technical nuclear trainers for two sessions. He makes his information 'come alive' in person and dynamically shows how the concepts from his books translate into useable real world techniques. We are urging our trainers to improve by implementing Harold's ideas."

Carmen Glovsky Senior Instructional Designer Nissan Carmen.Glovsky@nissan-usa.com	"When you're trying to identify and fix performance issues, there's no one more astute than Harold. He brings a wealth of academic knowledge as well as good old fashioned common sense to help improve human performance. If you're trying to alter behavior or have simply identified an area that you believe needs improvement, Harold can assist you in evaluating, developing and implementing programs to close the performance gaps. In addition, unlike many presentations that you may have 'sat' through in the past, Harold practices what he preaches in his best selling book, Telling Ain't Training , so be prepared to be engaged, entertained, and educated. I always learn something new from him and highly recommend him."

Maurice Sykes Executive Director The Early Childhood Leadership Institute MRussell18@aol.com	"'Give us more,' was the collective reaction of the 100 trainers in Harold Stolovitch's dynamic, information-packed, practical trainer training seminar.

Brenda Sugrue Senior Director of Research ASTD bsugrue@astd.org	"I have attended dozens of presentations by Harold Stolovitch at conferences, workshops, and other events over the past decade and he is undoubtedly the most engaging speaker I have ever seen. He combines the most current and relevant content with creative activities for audience participation and his high energy and wit make every session a most enjoyable experience. His sessions are usually standing-room only and the audience is thoroughly engaged for the entire time. His handouts alone are 'worth the price admission' and to have the master explain the thinking behind them with great stories, examples, and exercises is an opportunity not to be missed."
