Sample of Feedback - Service
SAMPLE OF EVENT FEEDBACK:
Tim Anderson (formerly at) Metropolitan Airports Commission, Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport: "Good service feeds on itself & eventually starts to permeate the whole community. I think we do a good job with our customers, but I know there is a lot more we can be doing & it is our goal to constantly get better…. Having Greg share his story with us was very helpful in that effort..."
Rachel A, hotel executive, Canada: "...A story filled with lessons that are imperative for those of us in the business of serving others."
Mike N, General Mills: : "...Great message that really hit home with our folks.... he visibly demonstrated how one individual can make a difference in people's lives. Very impactful. He exceeded my expectations."
SAMPLE OF BOOK FEEDBACK:
Carolyn Silver, Esq. - Director of Legal Advocacy & Organizing, Lenox Hill Neighborhood House (NY): "I read the book yesterday. I don't even know where to begin... really amazing to read....I really related to Greg and his drive and his interest in helping people...and I think it will really inspire my staff - who are all like-minded folks, trying to do what they can to make a difference in our community, while battling many [obstacles]..."
Patti Grote, Director / Librarian, Mason Co. M. Beven Eckert Memorial Library (TX): "As a librarian in a small town, I see how important it is for all of us to help each other 'belong' in the community and help meet the needs of the community. The First Thirty is an uplifting reminder that no matter what our age and talents, we can find a way to volunteer and serve."
Chloe Lee, Office of Service-Learning, Sim University (Singapore): "A heartwarming and inspiring book with many little life lessons / reminders for us. And I love his relationship with his really hip grandma."
Eva, staffer at Kinko's: “I help customers who come in the door. I want to believe with my daily job I am a humanitarian...Everyone comes into your life for a reason and [this book] came into mine to show me I'm on the right track, don't stop believing in people...At one point [when I was reading the book], I was [eating a sandwich] and tears fell into my sandwich, before I knew I was crying. I will cherish this book forever."
Cathy F, Bennett Frost Personnel Services (CA): “...a great book for our staff to read. It is all about building bridges between people -- which is exactly what we try to do between employers and candidates. At the same time, much of the book is about social responsibility, and that's a theme that is very important to us.”
Patrick Brandt, Office of Science, Training & Diversity, TIBBS, University of North Carolina: "Greg's story [in The Silhouette Man] reminds me of Harriet Tubman... both dedicated their life to helping individuals one by one, largely behind the scenes. They did the same seemingly ‘simple’ things over and over, but those actions, taken both individually and in aggregate, have had far reaching effects…He is living proof of Dr. King's words - "Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better."
SAMPLE OF WORKBOOK FEEDBACK:
Chris Herman, Pittsburgh Diller Teen Fellows Coordinator: “[A Place To Sit is] a tremendously helpful resource for any program that encourages its participants to be empowered and inspired leaders with a sense of commitment to serve and a deeper understanding of their responsibility to the world."
