“Dear Kevin, thank you for your help with my IT Leadership Team. All of them have remarked to me, both individually and in team meetings, how much better they are able to communicate with each other – and in reality how much more they trust each other. This is due to your efforts with us. We still have a ways to go, but I feel like we are over one (if not “the”) major hurdle for us to get better.”

He received excellent reviews from the 70 people in attendance.”

The students and I truly enjoyed his talk as Kevin is one of those presenters who is uniquely adept at engaging his audience with just the right mix of research-based evidence, illustrative anecdotes, and humorous stories. His presentation made a lasting impact on my students regarding how effective (or ineffective) management of human resources can make (or break) an organization.”

Tammy B.
Business Owner
“I met Kevin in 2003 while conducting a search on workplace bullying. At that time, I was working in a wonderful corporate job at the time. Unfortunately, I faced a bully boss who was intentionally cruel but was lucky enough to receive help from Kevin. After becoming ill as a result my boss’s abuse, I had to do something. I started reading Kevin’s website, researching bullies and began rebuilding my life. Fast forward to 2017. I no longer work in that toxic environment by choice, and I have the most amazing career now which I have created myself. I can red flag a bully when I see one, and I know what steps to take to protect myself and others from the behavior. Thanks to Kevin, I am braver, smarter and stronger in the face of a bully. I have the tools now to continue my work without being defeated by them.”
