Conference Testimonials

Frontlines 2000

Hi Kirk. I just wanted to let you know how much your talks at the conference meant to me! I literally feel like you have helped to change my life! It was so nice to hear out loud from someone else the way that I have always felt about things. You gave a whole new meaning to the "Golden Rule" !

Thank you so much for changing my life and helping me to learn. I've always believed that it's so much better to "be nice" to people and let them grow. It was just so nice to hear it from you. I've done a lot of growing this year and listening to you has helped me to finally put it all together in my heart and mind. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!

P.S. If you ever write a book - I want it!!!!! :-)

Wow! Wish the session could have gone on for hours and hours. If you don't remember me (gee, how many people did you have in your session??) I am the one that knew lots of the word puzzles and stayed late to play in the Lycra circle.

1. Please send the information on the Lycra circle games 2. Please send anything that you would like to share with a brand new trainer 3. Please answer the work puzzles that I do not know (see below)

Thanks again for conducting the best session I have ever been to (as an adult.)

I can not tell you how much you energized my spirit about ways to train. I have just taken on the job of training for our department and thought it might be boring, hard and dull. NO WAY! First session yesterday was upbeat and we were laughing so loudly that three employee partners that refused to participate came and joined in. Thanks for helping me shine!

Kirk, Just a short note to say THANK YOU!!! Your class was the "Da Bomb!!" baby!...As you mentioned, usually people come back from a "Training class" and within a short time period, forget everything. Well, that is not the case here! After returning from Orlando, I immediately began "listening to and observing" our staff and management team. I also ran a survey of the Help Desk and found where 80% of our calls are being generated. I have since, been creating [ co-utilizing a helper from our training dept.] a basic/interactive (using games etc.) training session, of my own, that will use examples from our Help Desk queue, to train users how to solve some of their basic issues BEFORE they reach the Help Desk. PROACTIVTY!...WHAT A CONCEPT!!!....KNYUCK KNYUCK!!...I'll try to keep you posted on the progress and effectiveness once the first training sessions have been completed. Once again.....THANKS!!....Your class had a MAJOR impact on me... Micah R. Rosier Oregon State Lottery User Support Analyst [email protected] 503-540-1359

Thank you so much. I hope you realize what wonderful things that you do for people... I will never be the same! :-)

Jay Senior Technical Support Professional Hi Kirk - I was at your sessions at the Frontlines conference in Orlando and I must say I am still very motivated from your session - it was truly the highlight of the conference.

I have started putting a buzz in some of my college's ears about bringing you into for a future training or motivational workshop at my company. Do you have a bio and a list of topics you normally deal with you could send me?

Also, we are having an offsite session with our managers this weekend and were looking over some of the materials you provided in your Activities that Teach session. Would you have an answer key to "Looking at things in a whole new way" handout? If so could you fax or email it to me sometime this week?

Thanks again Kirk - it was an extreme pleasure meeting you and being in your sessions. (if it helps you remember, you met my wife while waiting for your family - she does workshops for families).

Take care,

Thank you so much for your encouraging words at the Frontlines 2000 Conference. I went to a Steven Covey conference on Oct 4th here in Dayton, sponsored by the Lessons in Leadership and they asked what speakers we would recommend in the future and I put your name down. You have been blessed with a wonderful gift and it is nice to see that you are using it to make a positive difference in others.

I was wondering if you could add me to this distribution list that you use to send out these messages below.

Thanks again for everything! Kim Gibson System Service Center Standard Register (937)221-1889

(this is from D.C. last year…you made this one happen Mike) I was in Washington DC two weeks ago and attended the seminar given by Kirk Weisler. It was hands down the best seminar I attended the whole week. Kirk is an infectious speaker who could motivate any group that he speaks to. I would like his e-mail address since I had lost his business card. If you could pass on this request I would appreciate it.

Thank you in advance. Drew LaPatin Manager AutoNation Retail Helpdesk
