| This seminar was really worth attending, although I do feel that our firm should insist that everyone attend (not just staff). I look at this firm as a relationship - and if only one part of that relationship gets exposed (staff) to this invaluable information and choices, only half of the firm will be able to benefit from it. It's a two-way street. We are the lucky ones though having had the opportunity to attend. Thanks for bringing the seminar here and making it available to me. Learned a lot and had fun! What a great combination. :) ~ (Anonymous) |
| I really thought Dr. Crawford was a very good speaker, his presentation was clear and I'm looking forward to find some time to read his books soon. Thanks to Lisa and Mary also for putting it together for all support staff. Thanks for taking care of us. ~ (Anonymous) |

| Dr. Crawford was knowledgeable and entertaining. Maybe a little too over the top for my liking, but effective nonetheless. ~ (Anonymous) |
| Dr. Crawford was excellent. He is obviously a very experienced psychologist, and very quick on his feet with good answers to questions. He was also very funny and entertaining. He had the kind of personality that encouraged open discussion about the problems people encounter in life. I noticed that people were not reluctant to talk about personal issues, because they sensed they were in good, knowledgeable hands. You could incorporate his ideas not just into the workplace, but into every moment of your life. It was a very valuable and worthwhile seminar. ~ (Anonymous) |
| I really appreciate the opportunity presented to us secretaries. I know LAs, LACs get opportunities to other seminars like this as part of their CLE, but it was really nice to be included - made me feel like yes you are part of the firm. A real acknowledgement. Verbal acknowledgements are great, but actions speak just as loud if not louder sometimes. ~ (Anonymous) |
| Lots of valuable information - gave me options for dealing with a problem at work. ~ (Anonymous) |
| His 5 steps were very good and I also liked that people gave Bill situations and asked him to respond. ~ (Anonymous) |
| I really thought that the biological information regarding limbic and neocortex systems was interesting, and I enjoyed meeting a couple of new people. It is also interesting to hear the different perspectives of the people that you work around everyday. ~ (Anonymous) |
| The seminar reminded me of the things that I, as a person, would like to aspire to be. Sometimes we get all wrapped up in our daily routines and forget how to look at situations in a more positive light. ~ (Anonymous) |
| I think the fact that Bill invited audience participation was particularly valuable in his presentation. Giving people the opportunity to express their own personal challenges and hearing Bill's recommended responses to those challenges was helpful and made the presentation's principals applicable to everyday life. ~ (Anonymous) |
| I think it was really great that we could all come together for a seminar like this - I think it hit home for a lot of people, and made people feel special and that's community building all in itself (and in such a different way from a happy hour or something). ~ (Anonymous) |

| I thought the presentation was interesting, had a good pace and was well planned. The group exercise was fun and came along at just the right time in the presentation.
