Customer Reviews for Dr. Rick Kirschner
Allan Weisbard on 6/11/2008
After struggling for almost a decade to 'get the word out' about what I have to offer, the hour spent together offered me insight, direction and action steps that have 'cleared the runway'. I have studied change steps but you are certainly the master of taking 'the art of change' into the world. Thank you and I look forward to our next session...
S. Gentry on 6/11/2008
My family really enjoys your teaching style. . . it allows us to get a kick
out of ourselves and others rather than killing anyone. :)
Amy Vasgo on 6/11/2008
Hi Rick, I just wanted to say Thank you! I attended the seminar
yesterday & I think it was the best one I've been to by far.
The info/ techniques I got will help my business life as well as personal
life. Since I couldn't stay to thank you in person, I just wanted to let
you know that you do make a difference.
Jaime S. on 6/11/2008
WOW! That was INCREDIBLY informative and useful. As my grandmother said of my grandfather upon seeing him on TV at the age of 85: " you know he really knows his stuff." And you do.

Dr. Rick,
I don't normally write speakers but I had to write and say thanks. I heard
you speak several years ago in the Baltimore, Maryland area to the Army
National Guard Family Support Groups. I took notes on the outline you had provided and here I am in my thirteenth year of teaching (I teach Special Education when I am not on National Guard duty) and , to
make a long story short, I was organizing my office at home and realized the
answer to a vexing problem was right there in front of me-I had pinned the outline from your speech on my catch-all bulletin board (it had gotten covered over with papers). It is like a lifesaver for me. I can't thank you enough. Thanks for making my year look brighter.
