The "Buzz" on Rich

"I want to thank you for your inspirational and motivational educational sessions at our National Recreation and Park Association conference in Seattle this past fall. From the participant evaluations it is clear that your message was well received and people truly enjoyed your delivery. Your speaker ratings clearly resulted in your being added to our list of “Power Speakers."

Since this is the premier education opportunity for the park and recreation industry, it is critical to have a solid, high-quality education program that meets the needs of all membership groups. You were instrumental in meeting our needs and insuring a high quality experience for our delegates. "

Thank you so much for you delightful and insightful program. Everyone I spoke with thoroughly enjoyed the meeting. I appreciate the help with the board intros as well.

"Rich DiGirolamo is no 'run of the mill' speaker - Rich breathed life into our program. I had yet to see our workshop participants totally engrossed in the program until we included Rich. The "fun" element introduced by Rich let our participants know that there are other ways to do things - even the "same old things". I highly recommend having Rich participate at your next participation - we certainly will be inviting him back!"

"I joked with Rich that I was going to write a book entitled “How to get more out of life according to the hard ass”.  After working with Rich, I felt I could. He was a hard ass alright, which is exactly what I needed.  He pushed, prodded, and was relentless in his quest to make me strive for more.  Thanks to Rich, I have a new job that fits me instead of me fitting it, I have a positive attitude, and the word "fun" is back in my vocabulary.  Life is good."

I asked Rich to keep my last name anonymous. See, he even has integrity.

Your presentation was focused, insightful, and most importantly fun. You captured everyone's attention with just the right mix of seriousness and levity without becoming cliche'

What an outstanding job you did! Your message was received well by all. We appreciate all the education statistical research that you did before addressing our group.

We would warmly welcome you to speak again.

He spoke, but did not "perform." He was just one of us; speaking to us in terms we could identify with. Everyone was completely tuned in to him for the entire time he spoke. He never lost the group for a moment.

He knows how to get the class involved and he insists on their participation. His humor and personality has a universal appeal to all students.

Overall I would say it was an unqualified success. So much so, in fact, that we had many requests to repeat the program which we did. He displayed a great deal of spontaneity and enthusiasm!
