Hi Dave:
I just wanted to let you know, and cannot help but send this now to express the feedback that I have been getting from your recent classes conducted here on site. Everyone that attended, expresses that this is the BEST CLASS they have ever received, (and I am not exaggerating), in comparison to other Speaker Reps from the past. They state that your content of class is very knowledgeable and covers all aspects of need in a volatile situation, including the extended training on proper and safe takedown or hands on procedures!

Thank God for you, and see you soon.

Kevin T. Litzenberger, Security Supervisor, Saint Johns Health Center

Dave,

I just wanted to send a quick note on how much I enjoyed the Instructor classes Monday and Tuesday. I am looking forward to attending more of the subjects you cover. I also wanted to extend thanks not only to you but to the Assistant Instructors as well.

Enjoy the holidays and stay safe.

Nanettee Roper, Security Officer II, Memorial Hospital

Dave,

It was a pleasure to attend your course and to have the opportunity to meet such great people. You are a very good instructor and I will be recommending your course to others. I am currently writing up a proposal to implement the training system to our organization. I am also looking forward in staying in touch with you in the future.

Thank you again,

Rick Valencia, Security Supervisor, Enloe Medical Center

Dave,

You are the best! What a class! Thanks for your patience, your support and your genuineness.

Charles Brangman, Providence Health Systems

Hi Dave,

I really want to thank you for last week’s training. Speaking for myself and the other instructor trainees, we are in agreement that this was far and away the best program that any of us had attended on the management of angry and aggressive individuals. Now, we can put this set of skills into practice.

Dave Stange, Director, Plant/Facilities Operations, McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center

Greetings Dave -

What a marvelous training - not only do I have great information for training, but also feel more confident in managing aggressive people myself. Thank you so much for the work, presence and intention you put forth for the training. I will be in touch.

Lisa Barnes, Mary Greeley Medical Center

Thanks Dave,

Your class was the top of all instruction I have had in the past twenty years. You are a very motivational speaker and you have a passion for training that I have seen only a couple of time in my career, I hope to do this program justice and have the same passion as you do.

Ernie Thurman, Security Director, Med Center One, Bismarck North Dakota

Hi Dave - Thought the training was great and I have been all over the nation and abroad taking training and instructing. I plan to start training the staff as
soon as I get my certification & that will satisfy hospital licensing. I also am the Medical Director at a clinic here "Free Indeed" and need to train that staff - we had an incident Friday that escalated to police intervention & your techniques could have been used as an intervention.
Thanks,

Lou Cataldie, MD

My staff and I have been using the training program for the last three years. We have found it to be very helpful and much more effective than methods we have used in the past. I feel it is an excellent tool and it is used on a daily basis.

James Farrell, Director of Security, Alaska Regional Hospital - Anchorage, AK

I just wanted to let you know that I feel fortunate to have gone through the training when I did. Last Friday I had a student swing a school chair at me. We were in a fairly enclosed room and I ended up having to take him to the ground. This was the first time in the 14 years of MAP Schooling that I had to lay hands on a student. Fortunately neither of us was hurt. I appreciate your professionalism and thoroughness in preparing us.

Bob Brandon, M.S. Program Administrator, MAP School, Spokane Mental Health

Dave,

Since I have time to kill before my journey back to Canada, I wanted to write you an e-mail to express my gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the training program. Your level of professionalism was incredible and so was your passion for the topic, not to mention the location. I am excited about changing people's lives!
