At first the expense of your program was difficult for me to justify. Now that we have completed our meetings, I consider the "investment" very well worth it. Please accept my appreciation for what you brought to our group. What we have all learned will have a positive impact on our personal and professional lives. As a leader of this group of sales professionals, I can tell you that each of them has taken what you gave us and worked to improved production and progress to a higher level of success. Jack, we look forward to continuing to work with you and to a long and prosperous relationship.

Wow! I guess that word describes it all. Our company has been through many programs that tried to impart a quality mind set throughout our environment. All have helped to a certain degree, however, there was always something missing. We attempted solutions in many ways but seemed to consistently come up short. Then a burst of energy and light came on the scene in the person of Jack Lannom. The really great thing about your program is that it is not just a bunch of words and exercises. It teaches ways to cope with all kinds of problems both real and imagined. It puts self and job in true perspective and it involves everyone from the top down in building trusting relationships.

I have been flooded with nothing but positive comments as a result of the Children's Plan Conference, of which you played a major role. Your dedication helped make it a very successful event. The conference attracted more than 900 people from all over the state including juvenile court judges and staff, private provides, state and front line workers. The evaluations have been very positive, thanks to your hard work and professionalism.

What can I say about your outstanding program on Memorization presented our senior managers? A company like ours, who prides itself in its relationships with the business world, finds remember names and faces a very vital tool in making all of our owners, clients, as well as subcontractors feel important. Using your proven techniques, we strive to make everyone who comes in contact with Centex Rooney feel important. We found your style and humor entertaining, and your professional presentation a most exciting and entertaining combination.

"I have had great feedback from our sales team after Jack's presentation... they thought he was excellent. Jack is one of the best speakers we have ever seen. He was passionate as he demonstrated his Kung Fu principles and his interactive style kept our sales team interested. I would highly recommend him to other organizations."

We invited Mr. Lannom because we wanted someone who could not only entertain our kids, but teach them something, as well. Jack demonstrated his skill of memorizing and reciting strings of words, numbers and names - long strings! He then made quite an impression on our youngsters as he taught them mnemonics to remember the names and the districts of our nine County Commissioners . The adults in the audience appreciated the lesson, as well! Mr. Lannom captured our kids' hearts and kept their undivided attention that morning; he also helped them stretch their minds. His zest for life, warm and personal demeanor and funny stores pulled in the audience and made all of us laugh. Jack's visit was a great start tour children's special day! Jack's entertaining style makes him equally effective with two-year olds or 102 year olds. He was great!

We recently had a great weekend where I had the experience of watching 160 very hungry men get well fed during a sprit led men's retreat in northern California .. But I must also tell you about the guest speaker. His name is Jack Lannom. He's a black belt, an educator, a memory teacher, a motivational speaker and an author. Wow! He makes the audience move and respond, he won't let your thoughts or eyes wonder as he captivates you with his message. He's loud, he's soft, he is vibrant and he "breaks bricks" too. He's up with the times and knows the past. He can control the program at the same time letting you run the show. I would be honored and pleased to be in his presence again. .I would not hesitate to recommend Jack to any group, men's or church event and so on.

I wanted to drop you a quick line to express our gratitude for the valuable time you gave to our sales team. I hope you could tell how we all connected to you and your presentation. I know that "all" the team walked away with a clearer understanding of what to focus on and how to experience a greater level of success, both personally and professionally. I've had several of our sales "partners" ask me about your book, Untapped Potential. Also I wanted to let you know that I have started reading your manuscript for "People First". Jack if the 2 nd half of the book continues to build in the same vain as what I have read so far, you have definitely hit the Bulls Eye. The philosophy of genuine care and concern for others that you address, is what I have begun to build our team with I look forward to visiting with you in the near future, don't hesitate to call at your convenience. Looking For Your Success;

Jack was the keynote speaker for our annual customer event- Marriott's Travel Partner Conference June 2004. Our group had already experienced a wide variety of speakers in both the general session as well as breakouts. People were tired and not very excited to hear one more speaker. That changed the minute Jack took the stage! He immediately engaged everyone in the audience, captured their attention and kept them on the edge of their seats! He did an outstanding job with both his presentation and getting people involved! I would highly recommend Jack for any size group or presentation.

Hi Jack, Thanks so much for your inspirational and enthusiastic seminar. Everyone really got excited and they all appreciated it immensely. Take care and tell Debbie hello!

Many felt the ‘power' of your delivery especially during the connection of self-esteem within ourselves, in relation to our love ones, and our fellow team members. Several had tears in their eyes (as I did) and were inspired to increase their level of customer service and relationships to their family and team members. Thank you from our entire staff for bringing your positive thoughts, energy and inspiration to the University of Phoenix .

This is truly the best resource we've ever had. Jack renewed my interest and motivated me back to what's important in the organization-my people. I feel revived again!

You were a big hit Friday and Sunday on the behalf of all our employees. I want to thank you for sharing with us your message and talent. You got me so fired up that I gave the first speech I have given in five years. I don't know if I mentioned that on August 8, I am receiving a national honor for public speaking from the National Platform Association, and award Phyllis and I are receiving together, presented to us by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, I think you gave me some good practice to put a real stem winder on before an expected 1000 expert speakers in the audience.
Again, thank you for joining us, and I want to spend more time together in the coming months.

Your presentation of "Remembering Names and Faces" to the Cincinnati chapter of The Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) was a first-class presentation. The mixture of the types of people, as well as adults and children of various ages and background, made your task that much more complex. However, you did an excellent job of keeping everyone's attention throughout the whole session and brining everyone into the discussions. The presentation skills that you used were right on and very pointed and entertaining. The rest of the weekend, people talked of the theories and skills that you exposed us to. The real test of any presentation is the take-home value and ability to recall the content of the presentation. This was surely done with your presentation, since everyone continued to discuss various aspects of it. We are always concerned about the kind of presenters that we have at our YPO meetings, and you surely set a high standard for future presenters. Again, I thank you, and congratulate you for an excellent presentation and wish you the very best.

What a hit you wee with the Metro-Dade Housing Agency (MDHA) staff at our meeting on Wednesday. I can't begin to tell you all the positive things employees have been saying about your presentation and how motivated they were when they left the meeting! I know I plan to incorporate a lot of your theories in my personal and professional life. Thank you for an inspirational afternoon which will not be forgotten.

On behalf of the students of Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University and Broward Community College who participated in our "keys to Success Seminar", thank you. Your energy and talents empowered the entire room with a greater sense of self-confidence through memory power. I truly believe that those students feel their potential is now unlimited through your dynamic style and message. You also projected your sincere concern for each one of the students to break their old performance mold and expand their knowledge at newer rates. They tasted the systematic approach to recalling and inputting data from the brain and want more. Finally, the joy and enthusiasm for life permeated the audience. Your humor and drama, that I am sure is all part of all "Jack Lannom presentations", maintained all ears and eyes on you. It is not only a credit to your training and research, but a gift few possess. Again, thank you for being one of the finest keynote speakers in the world. I personally have been revitalized and enriched by your acquaintance.

Forgive me for taking so long to tell you how much we enjoyed the course. It was a staff event that will long be remembered. It created change and that is a difficult think to initiate. We are a better company for having spent the time with Quantum Management training and I hope that in the near future time and resources will allow us to invite you back for another valuable forum.

It hit me on the plane that I was pretty wimpy in my evaluation of the seminar. I know my comments did not reflect how much I enjoyed the two days. The information and materials were excellent and I am excited about their application here at Bohannam Huston. I very much appreciate you r modeling excellence throughout the two days. Jack, the only down side was not being able to stay and see you break the bricks! Thanks for the encouragement and support!
