“Dennis’ work with our team at Hi-Rez was well-received and the attendees of his ‘Mindful Mojo for Peak Performance’ program have given very positive feedback. Dennis’ upbeat delivery approach of neuroscience, experiential components and humor seems to be an excellent style for participants’ learning and sustainability. I highly recommend him to organizations who are seeking improved work results, work/life balance and overall mindful performance!”

Alissa Twombly HR Manager at Hi-Rez

Dennis presented to my colleagues and I regarding mindful stress management and WOW has it made a difference! We have a very fast paced, high stress job and most of the time we forget how to relax both at work and at home. Dennis provided practices that I personally have applied in all aspects of my life and has resulted in a more calm, at peace feeling. Although the work itself has not changed in its fast paced nature, us employees have found FANTASTIC ways to help deal with the stress that inevitably comes with the work. Thank you Dennis!

Michael Kenny National Director, Discount Waste Michael Kenny, National Director, Discount Waste

On both occasions, Dennis has tailored the workshop to meet the needs of our group and delivered meaningful content that can be easily applied. Dennis is a fantastic resource we will utilize again!"

Jeannie Adams-Pena Myer Director, Los Ninos Education

“I have known and worked with Dennis for many years now and have attended two of his Mindful Performance sessions. He coached me and my colleagues at IHG on the practical aspects of being mindful - physical exercises and mental conditioning. His ability to fine tune his delivery based on the kind of audience he was working with was interesting to me, both as a participant and an observer. I have experienced Dennis's mindful approach even in his email communications and how he pursues action items through clarity, empathy and patience. I embody those in my life at every opportunity and have observed a positive turnaround in my communications, and my satisfaction from them. That is the direct benefit of my programs with Dennis!

He was consistently one of the most popular speakers that we had, combining his quick wit and sense of humor, his in-depth knowledge of his subject, and his genuine care and concern for each person in the room. While I am currently not in a position where I hire speakers, I would certainly look to him again if the opportunity came along!”

“Dennis facilitated three sessions on the topic of Achieving Mindful Performance and each session had more participants than the one before it. It was obvious from not only those employees that told us but by word of mouth the event was a success and the participants are hungry for more. Dennis was able to share and relate to all who attended whether it was in person or via Zoom. Just in his presence alone, Dennis provided a safe place for each participant that was meaningful and uplifting and non-judgmental. In the days that followed the sessions I had participants share with me how they are using the tips they learned. Now that is priceless!”
