“I can’t wait to get back to work and start using what I’ve learned today. This seminar should be mandatory for all leaders. Ben kept us excited and motivated.”

Heather A. Burberry, Team Leader

“It has been a pleasure working with you for these past few years. You have helped transform our office into a much more productive and pleasant place to work. We initially hired you to conduct customer service training for all of our employees and that went so well we brought you back to work with our senior management team and then individual divisions. You have become an office tradition. You have mediated conflicts, conducted teambuilding sessions, coached managers, and provided excellent staff development training. Now that you have gotten things running so smoothly around here we need to make sure you come back annually for tune ups.”

“Ben Adkins had great presentation skills. Ben used a combination of professionalism, humor, and people skills, to make the topic exciting. His enthusiasm and quick wit gave him the ability to draw in members of our management team that normally do not actively participate in seminar situations. Ben has the ability to interact and steer the seminar in the direction the participants take it. It was a pleasure to have him as our facilitator.”
