"In
2003, Chris Douglas delivered excellent training on the subject of
leadership for IBM to over three hundred employees across four IBM
sites as part of Leadership Excellence University.
Our employees have high expectations for its instructors and speakers.
The response to Chris's course material and delivery was overwhelmingly
positive. The course material was very original and very informative.
From the students' evaluations, Chris is an excellent instructor, dynamic
in his presentation style and very knowledgeable in his field. I would
recommend him highly as an instructor."

"Chris’ presentation of the Technical Leadership Seminar
went beyond my expectations of what a program should deliver. This program
was concise but expansive at the same time. Chris manages to find a way
to provide the greatest amount of instruction in the shortest amount
of time, without feeling as thought the program is being rushed. He does
this by having a completely interactive program using video clips to
emphasize points, experiential activities to demonstrate key concepts,
and real life examples from his extensive exposure to other companies
to highlight successes. Chris’ enthusiasm and commitment to this
topic is evident in his every word."
- Victoria Arellano, CZ Team Consultant, SEH America
"Chris is a tremendously positive and calm presenter, able to have
fun with a class yet guide them gently but firmly through difficult and
abstract concepts. I admire Chris’ genuine, personal and deep interest
in the subjects he chooses to teach and study. He is flexible, open to
feedback, willing to go with the tide of the class and still maintain
professional control and an admirably positive attitude. I respect him
for that as he gives participants the opportunity to watch what we are
trying to teach them in action."
