Client Feedback

American Public Works Association – John Keister was amazing. In my 20+ years with APWA I have never seen anyone entertain and keep the audience (of 400 engineers) laughing! They were thoroughly impressed that he had researched the conference program and incorporated that into his presentation.

Wa Department of Community Development – Seattle Bookings encourages multicultural representation. Marguerite Peterson has a good sense of determining needs and matching training content and methodology to a particular situation. She is committed to working with minority and women-owned businesses and has excellent relationships with many top certified consultants locally.

Washington Association of District Employees (WADE) – Dr. Patt Schwab and Bill Stainton provided presentations that were a wonderful combination of humor and inspiration. Provided a good start for our training conference.

Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction – Sunny Kobe-Cook was an excellent choice for this particular event. The timing of her presentation brought laughter, good advice, energy, and a true feeling of self-worth to our staff.

Assoc. of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) – Stephany Bruell was a dynamic speaker for the “kick-off” of our conference. Her presentation on “schmoozing” got attendees in the mode of talking with each other and set the tone for the entire conference.

Washington’s Lottery – Tony Ventrella was easy to work with and did an excellent job for us. Everyone I’ve spoken to about his presentation was impressed. This couldn’t have been easier. All I needed to do was identify in general what we were looking for, and all of the screening work was done for me. The quality of service was excellent.

WA Healthcare Authority – With one phone call I had access to information about several speakers ! A real time saver!! Excellent service that made my job easier – quality service and quality speakers

Retail Confectioners International – "We haven't laughed so hard at one of our keynotes in a long time! Bill Radke was terrific

National Intramural Recreation Association – Silvana Clark was extremely energetic and was a great way to kick off our event. Everyone in the audience was able to walk away with an idea. Nice to have someone engage the audience instead of relying on a Powerpoint presentation.

Seattle Millennium Celebration – Bill Radke was the M.C. for the biggest Millennium costume party in Seattle and was fantastic. The evening featured lots of different events and entertainments which he perfectly paced. He was funny, upbeat, prepared yet flexible, knowledgeable, and just charmed the socks off the audience.

Washington Department of Health and Human Services – Helen Thayer - Some said that listening to you and your awesome accomplishments and bravery was a life changing experience.

DSHS – Dorothy Wilhelm was absolutely delightful! Her sense of humor was outstanding and she fit her message to meet our exact needs. We loved her style and enjoyed her tales. The story about her daughter touched the hearts of many.
