The time (Vinny) spent researching our company definitely showed in his presentations!

We appreciate Vinny taking the time to prepare and customize his presentation for our team. Everyone was amazed at how much he knew about our organization. The presentation was informative and had the appropriate amount of humor to keep everyone's attention throughout the entire presentation.
-- Steve Johnson, Distribution Control Center Supervisor, Georgia Power

 I appreciated the way you took the time to get to know us before your presentation.  That tells me you were sincere in your efforts and knew how to “get through to us”.  Your “roasting” of me was a riot; although done in a humorous manner, it was tasteful and right on target.  My people just loved it.  
-- Doug Peetz, Director of Financial Services, Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice

Vinny not only customized his program to relate to my staff's everyday stresses, but he made them laugh about things that they were complaining about just days before. I would highly recommend Vinny for a fun, relaxing stress buster and your staff will return to their everyday routine with a whole new outlook on life!!
-- Tim Haller, Lima City Schools

Your simple approach to motivation by way of Negativity Management was enjoyable and easy for us common southern folk to grasp. You brought us laughter which is a motivational tool all its own, allowing us to relax and our negative thoughts to dissipate.
-- Jillian Jones, Chair, Profession Development, Clayton State University

You skillfully entertained this rather spoiled group and, by the end of the performance, had them eating out of your hand… Thank you for sharing your incredible talent.
-- Dianne McGarey, CMP, Executive Producer, Axtell Productions

Wow - thanks for the knockout keynote. Your portrayal of the humorous Vinny Verelli had us laughing for days.
