“We found Dr. Bob’s presentation, insights, and practical nuts-and-bolts suggestions to be valuable and inspirational… clear and concise, used great examples and was interactive. Dr. Bob weaves and translates research, theory and practice into simple, effective actionable items. The leadership team left with specific techniques they could immediately apply, and the motivation to want to do so as soon as possible. And better yet, Dr. Bob’s recommendations didn’t require an extensive budget or formal corporate infrastructure to implement. Because of Dr. Bob’s impact, we are now moving forward on some initiatives that will enhance our culture of recognition at the hospital.”
