Christopher Avery, June 2006 was Quoted in Fortune Magazine -- Christopher Avery PhD's Clients Motivation -Comment: "An overwhelming success!" Project Management Symposium Program Manager, AT&T _____________ "He offers that blend of style AND substance" Eric Welsh, Conference Director, ProjectWorld "You were a hit! " President, LawPartnering.com / Law Partnering Forum _____________ "I view over 400 videos each year in hopes of finding the right speakers for just a few events. The vast majority of keynote speakers I see are about entertainment, not substance. Christopher Avery is definitely the exception. I have had the pleasure of working with Christopher on a number of events over the last year. He's consistently risen to the challenge, whether it's a workshop or a keynote. His presentation style offers that ever-elusive blend of style and substance. Perhaps even more remarkable is that he's truly a pleasure to work with. He's embraced seemingly untenable changes time and time again with unflagging grace. Bottom line, he's a great person and a great speaker, and I can't recommend him more highly." Conference Director, ProjectWorld ______________ "I highly recommend Christopher as a teacher and facilitator for your leadership development seminars. He is a pleasure to work with, he obviously cares about his clients and what he is doing, and he is an awesome communicator and teacher." National Training Coordinator, Whole Foods Market, Inc. _____________ "Thank you for an outstanding presentation for the managers of the City of Santa Ana. I have received very positive feedback from the attendees, including one who wrote that your presentation was 'insightful, powerful, informative, and enlightening.' I could not agree more. I highly recommend you and "Teamwork Is An Individual Skill" to others." Assistant City Manager, City of Santa Ana, CA _____________ "Comments frequently identified your presentation as the 'what I liked best about the symposium,' commenting, 'Did not expect to come away with such life skills,' 'Invite Christopher back!' and 'As long as Christopher has different topics, bring him back every year!
