what people are saying about my dad

Hi Kirk,
 I was really glad to be able to send two of my staff to your presentation yesterday at Creighton.  Being able to send them there and knowing what it would do to them was my inspirational and motivating element.
 
But I tell you, the minute, the very minute these two individuals walked back in the office, everyone knew it!!  The first sign that got me out of my office was laughter!!!  Big ones!!!  Not a common facial and vocal trait in a Service Desk….  Then of course, you should see the smiles on their faces…  it made their ears look small so big and radiant their smiles were.
 
With the small team that we have, with no more than 6 or 7 people present at any given time but more commonly 4 or 5, having two contagiously radiant people is AWESOME!!!
 
Big thanks from your French Husker Friend!!!

Kirk,

My team and I had the pleasure of attending the HDI session in Omaha a few days ago where you spoke at.  It was very inspirational and my team loved it.  Thanks again for inspiring my team and giving them a new “cork screw” activity that no one can stop showing off.  -Dan Powers

Kirk,  Just wanted to send a quick email thanking you again for speaking at the LMVHMA Communications meeting.  I have been receiving so much positive feedback, even with the missing dessert the night was a huge success.  You are a wonderfully entertaining speaker and we loved the stories.   It was also a pleasure meeting your son Josh.  He was such a gentleman.   I am looking forward to reading some of the recommended books and hearing you again in the future.  Thank you so very much.
 
Sincerely,
 
Linda French
LMVHMA 2nd Vice President

Kirk,

Meaningful (as always) to spend time with you at the Broadmoor.

The quote I sent out on twitter is:

“Kirk Weisler is a beacon of light for the dreary manager.”

I loved the Diamond transformation.  Have you seen Diamond since?

Take care,

Kirk,
 
I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know how much it meant for me to hear your story today.  I’m facing a big dragon right now and your message really hit home.  You taking the time and initiative to sign a book for me was awesome and you truly made a difference in my life.  Your passion and principles are powerful and poignant, and the presentation was priceless.  (And I obviously loved the alliteration on the back cover of the book!)

Kirk,
It was great to meet you in person this afternoon after the event at Emory.
Your presentation was great and really hit the nail on the head. I truly
enjoyed your stories and insight.

I wanted to take a moment, though, and thank you for the books and kind
words on my 30 year wedding anniversary. They made my day. Nancy, thought
the books and your kind words were great!

One thing that I have to work on is my interaction. You gathered lots of
info on me, but seemed like I should have been asking similar questions of
you. Talk about thinking about me….. Got to get over that. Kind of hit
me in the car driving home.

So you helped in several ways this afternoon. One, your great speech, two,
your kind words as I was leaving for home and three, reminding me that
learning about others is just as important as talking about myself. How is
that for some lessons. All very much appreciated!

Have a great weekend and thanks again!

Kirk
 
Thank you for speaking at Leadership Lynchburg yesterday.  It was very refreshing, and eye opening.  It reminded me of how the little things truly mean a lot.  Your style and enthusiasm are “infectious”.  Once again, thank you for sharing yourself with us.  I believe that your presence will inspire everyone in that room yesterday to become “scoopers” in their work place and community.
 
Thank you again.

Hi Kirk,
 
Thank you so much for coming to speak with our management group and staying on to visit with the HR Leaders here in Lubbock.  I have heard nothing but absolutely positive feedback and everyone is excited to have you come back.  I wanted to share a few of the comments I received about you…
 
Kirk is the speaker who leaves you with more than you entered the room with.
He’s a genuine speaker who knows his stuff.  He’s engaging. 
He has a gift for speaking.

Kirk is a very genuine person, he is very endearing, he takes time out of his day to talk to strangers, he builds other people up, very encouraging, and opens himself up to criticism.

I would describe him as someone who is passionate about helping organizations improve their culture and as a result improve morale and the bottom line. His presentation was creative and engaging – never a dull moment. He speaks from experience and from broad study of the subject and lives the concepts he endorses. He uses practical stories that anyone can relate to in order to drive home his points.

It’s too bad you had so many delays while trying to leave Lubbock.  I know that is very frustrating, no matter how positive of an outlook someone has!  You have passed along a lot of great ideas, have inspired our leaders, and I think more about how I interact with everyone I have come across since you have been here.  I have said many times to myself “my year will get better as I do” and I have no complaints from last year, but I strive to be better this year.  Thanks again so much for the inspiration.  We will be in touch regarding future training.  Have a wonderful week!
 
Kindest Regards,

Hi Kirk,

It was great to hear you speak again  today in Omaha,  when I heard you
where coming in town I made sure that my work schedule was clear so that
nothing would get in the way of hearing you speak again and I’m very happy I
did.   The last  time I had heard you speak was in Dallas at the HDI
conference and I had learned so much from you,  and hearing you speak again
today was as fantastic and  inspiring.   I was hoping to get back that
positive motivated and inspired  feeling that I had after the HDI Conference
in Dallas that I had lost,   you can say I had gone to the dark side,  the
negative unhappy side.  I let life kind of beat the happy  positive  side
out of me and could not seem to get it back,   I would try but  would seem
to always fall back to a side that I did not like but seem to always float
back too,   and I think after listing to you speak today is that I was not
growing and learning, I was not bettering myself,  you can say I would think
that life would get better by itself without doing  anything to make it
better.  I have learned a lot from you again today that I can apply at work
with my fellow co-workers and my customers and my personal life at home with
my wife and children.  Thanks for everything that you do,  you are a great
person and I have been very fortunate to here you speak twice now and I hope
to hear you speak again in the future.

Thanks again for speaking at our HDI meeting in Omaha and I hope to hear you
speak again in the future.

HI Kirk:
  Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed your talk this
morning.  I spoke with you briefly after the meeting and I told you that I
enjoyed your stories.  It occurred to me that you may have misunderstood my
comment.  For a story to be enjoyable to me it needs to have meaning, teach
me something or make me think. Otherwise it’s just a story. Your stories had
all 3 key elements. Thank you again for giving me an enjoyable morning.
Sincerely

Kirk -  I attended your presentation last week for the C3N Network in Louisville.  I
had heard you speak a couple of years ago at work and really enjoyed it. But
I almost didn’t come last week because I thought I couldn’t take the
time…..I was too busy….I really didn’t need my spirits lifted or my
attitude changed…..I was “just fine”.
Well, your presentation was exactly what I needed…a real “awakening” for
me. I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear the question “Does the room
get brighter when I enter or when I leave?”  – both personally and
professionally I needed an attitude adjustment – for that I thank you.  That
question now greets me every morning ….and throughout the day….just
wanted you to know.  Happy holidays to you and your family.
