I appreciate you working with me to customize your presentation to our students. Your presentation was well received, motivating, and aligned with our college going culture.

 

It was evident that you spent considerable time preparing for our students. They particularly appreciated the meaningful gifts that you provided to them. You had a great rapport with our students and they grasped your information very well. Each of them completed the survey you prepared for them, which game them an opportunity to reflect on their own journey in life.

 

Thank you for being such a support to our students. I also thank you for attending the Andre Agassi Grand Slam for Children event, which also demonstrated your continued involvement with the advancement of our children. quote2

Principal,
Norwood Junior High School

quote1 His inspirational message was not only relevant to our students, but also our staff. His way of putting life in perspective hit home with our inner-city kids. Taking time to think about the good things they do have in their lives helped them to gain a more positive view of life and the power they have within themselves to create a better today and a better future.

 

I highly recommend Doug for school and other youth events. He was able to create a message that hit home for all. quote2

Mr. Dvorak provided the group with some thought provoking material and with his creativity and wit he also had them laughing. quote2

quote1 On behalf of Southern Polytechnic State University, I would like to endorse Doug Dvorak as an effective inspirational, motivational, humorous speaker. Doug presented as part of the University's annual kick-off, which is the week prior to the start of classes. His presentation was both humorous and timely. He specifically addressed current concerns in higher education, but with a positive approach.

 

Doug's ability to customize his presentation to specific organizations enables him to connect with his audience in an effective way. We are two weeks after his presentation and I am still getting requests for copies of his presentation. As one of the planners of the annual event, we wonder how do we top Doug's presentation?" He has our highest recommendation.  quote2

Mr. Dvorak's ability to customize his presentation to the specific requirements of our organization enables him to connect with his audience in a truly motivational and meaningful way. The members of our organization have seen how this talent makes him an effective and entertaining communicator and we highly recommend him to any organization.  quote2
