Testimonials
"Harry has always done an
outstanding job. One of the reasons Harry is so successful, is because he really
does his homework. When he is hired by a group, he literally reads the annual
reports, does research into their company and actually seems to become an
"expert" on their field.
Harry is also a pleasure to work with, both professionally and personally. On at
least one occasion, I have asked him to come in as a last minute replacement
when a speaker canceled. Harry put together a custom tailored speech in 2 days
that was a huge hit with my client. I would recommend him for any event,
showcase, meeting, or any other situation, with my highest praise." -Rainey Foster
Vice President
Leading Authorities Speakers Bureau
"Having you as the closing act for New
Jersey's MPI's April meeting on event production was just what the doctor
ordered. Not too many people could get a laugh out of a group that had spent an
entire day working and the entire evening networking and sitting still. But you
came through with plenty of laughs for all. It was perfect." -Kevin White, CSEP
NJ-MPI Education Committee
"Wow! I knew you were going to be
funny from hearing the speech on the phone beforehand, but our people really
loved it! It was hilarious! Thanks Harry. It was perfect!" -Mary Anne Kristan
Director/Proposal & Response Ctr
Cingular Wireless
"I can see why you are referred to as
the "King of the corporate put-on." Believe it or not, following your
performance and after you had already divulged the fact that you were a
comedian, I had one attendee ask me very seriously exactly what behind the
scenes work you were doing for Chevron. The fact that you fooled an audience
comprised of almost 100% lawyers is all the more remarkable. I am pleased
to report that you received a grade of A+ from your audience." -Neil J. Fletcher
Senior Counsel/Law Dept.
Chevron Products Co.
"No one has ever impressed me like you
did. I feel compelled to write this letter and thank you for the outstanding job
you did at our Sales Kick-off in Laughlin, NV. You were great, Harry!!! Only a
true professional could make it look so easy!! " -Jennifer Wetstein,
Director,
Worldwide Executive Marketing PTC
"Your presentation to our group was accomplished
with painstaking research, artfully scripted and adeptly delivered. The skill
with which you assimilated the magnitude of information from our interview was
amazing. A couple of folks are still not sure if they have been had! A renewed
sense of camaraderie was delivered to us that exceeded any motivational pretext
of our meeting. I would highly recommend you to anyone." -Stephen K. Park,
Raytheon Systems Company
"You were an absolute hit at the Fortis
Benefits' President's Conference. As one sales rep said, "I laughed so hard
that my body ached." You are terrific to work with." -Kathy A. Kelley,
Second VP, Marketing,
Fortis Benefits Insurance Co.
"As you know, our two companies have
been in the process of merging and at this meeting many of the CEO's from both
groups were getting together for the first time. As we expressed our concerns to
you, you were able to reassure us that you could remain flexible, creative and relevant
and still be funny. Lo and behold, you were! The evaluations as well as the
riotous laughter were evidence of that. Only a true professional could make it
look so easy." -Michelle Soto,
Manager,
Premier/AmHS Healthcare Systems
"Your closing was the perfect sendoff
for the group. They were completely taken with your presentation, your style and
your sense of humor. You did a tremendous job." -Jay Lughes, CPCU, ARM,
Associate VP, Marketing,
Scottsdale Insurance Co.
"The audience loved you! The time you
took to research our association and our industry really paid off in making this
a truly customized presentation. The fact that you gave me final approval on
content gave me a greater sense of comfort that many entertainers don't allow.
You were a pleasure to work with." -Christine Schmieder, CMP,
Director of Meetings,
Hydraulic Institute
"You had a unique challenge in creating
a presentation that appealed to a broad and diverse management group across
information services - North America and you hit a home run!
Everyone left the meeting feeling good and smiling." -Frank S. Sowinski,
Sr. VP Finance,
Dun & Bradstreet
"Many of us still laugh about Dr.
Freedman today!" -George Hathaway,
Fidelity Investments
"You were able to command the whole room
from the beginning and your mix of semi-serious, funny and downright hilarious
material was the icebreaker we needed. The audience was hanging on every comment
fully expecting a pearl of business wisdom and they were bent over with laughter
when you surprised them with a witty and funny comeback." -Jose A. Juves,
Director Customer Focus,
ABB Utilities, USA
"Thanks to you for an outstanding
performance at the recent retirement dinner for our President. As an educational
consultant you were just great -- better than most of the legitimate
"experts" I have hired in the past. You were a hit! Boffo." -Michael E. Hyde,
Vice President,
Alfred University
"With the talents you possess, I believe
you will be in the forefront of your industry very shortly." -Hans G. Hanf,
The Bond Market Assn
