“Jeff put together a customized presentation for our General Managers and challenged our General Managers to do a better job at giving their team members C-R-A-P: Care, Respect, Appreciation, and Praise. His presentation was thoughtful and relevant, and he did a nice job tailoring his speech to our industry and organization. It was clear to me that he took the time to understand our organization and the specific challenges we face every day. Jeff’s presentation was given with candor and humor and was well received by the audience.”
