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. :)
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.
I was impressed with the material Bill
covered and found the whole experience very positive.
I wish it could have been longer.
Dr. Crawford was knowledgeable and entertaining.
Maybe a little too over the top for my liking , but effective nonetheless.
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.
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.
Lots of valuable information - gave me
options for dealing with a problem at work.
His 5 steps were very good and I also liked
that people gave Bill situations and asked him to respond.
I really thought that the biological information
re 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.
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.
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.
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).
It was valuable to have an opportunity
to share thoughts and concerns with each other and learn or refresh
ways to practice the art of self-control.
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. After
sitting for a couple of hours, it really seemed to re-energize everyone!
To provide some constructive feedback.
Our speaker was a very nice and personable
man...great choice!
I thought it was great!
I thought is was very informative. It gave
me ideas on how to deal with difficult coworkers
Dr. Crawford is filled with humor when
speaking to his attendees. His presentation breakdown is filled
with lots of valuable information that can be applied in many complex
situations. This seminar was not a boring seminar, not one bit!
I liked his energy and enthusiasm. Great
use of music, quotes, attractive presentation.
Good involvement of participants.
Enjoyed his enthusiasm.
Great presentation. High energy
He is a very enjoyable speaker - never
boring and always open to anyone's comments or questions. Never
made you feel like you were being analyzed!
I thought it was good and applicable in
almost every circumstance.
