Shawn adapts his presentation and message according to the needs of the audience.

"Our audience can sometimes be a challenge, but Shawn’s professional, yet conversational and business-casual style, give him an edge over other more formal presenters. We just concluded our third annual conference where Shawn once again played an important role. Each year our members ask us to invite him back and 2012 program was no exception. Shawn makes great use of technology to communicate with his clients and to adapt his presentation and message according to the needs of the audience. From a logistical standpoint, each time I make an inquiry or ask a question, Shawn provides immediate response and incredible follow up and delivery of program materials. He provides accurate cost estimates and always arrives on site ready to present.  Though I would likely benefit from sitting in one of his sessions, my duties won’t allow it on-site. Shawn’s sessions are among the very few that I am comfortable with leaving unmonitored."

"Everything was great."

Real life scenarios helps. Everything was clear and concise and to the point. It helps greatly that Shawn is teaching from experience. It restructures perspective and thinking. Mechanisms to help better manage a business

"Everything was brought to my level as a remodeling contractor."

I have never heard anybody that has simplified the calculations in figuring out what my company's mark up should be. Those realistic examples helped cement in my mind how easy things can be if you understand the whole picture. I don't pretend to understand everything that you explained to us last night, but I can honestly say the whole picture was brought more into focus last night and I hope to be able to build up from here.

"The content was great and Shawn’s practical experience was invaluable."

The attendees are consistently thrilled with your presentations and the Speaker and Overall Course ratings reflect that fact. Leadership Skills for the Lead Carpenter got incredible ratings with a strong showing of attendees from the registration count. I appreciate your attention to deadlines and willingness to take on projects outside the traditional scope of a speaker.  It was a superb event and that is attributed to you as a presenter. Thank you for dedication and contribution to the industry. Keep up the good work and I look forward to working with you again next year.

The information was "down to earth" that could be applied immediately. The offer for spreadsheets was appreciated. Understand your numbers so you can charge more!!! Sales workshop you did last year was excellent. It helped my sales. By the way, using your training I learned last year, I’m up to $25,000 annual with Harvey Building Products.
