REAL TALK
Corporate Training
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for putting on such a dynamic Active Shooter presentation for our group on September 24th.
This was actually my second time seeing this presentation as I had initially seen it in the auditorium, but feel as though I took something different away from it each time I saw it.
I am especially grateful for your presentation as I was at (the) mall a few weeks back when that shooting occurred and I truly feel that having this knowledge helped me to remain calm and I was able to think about what to do in that particular situation. So I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to see this and I hope this continues for the Service.
I have asked my Team Leads to reach out to you in hopes of setting up a presentation time with you for their teams as I think this is such valuable information and knowledge for everyone to have.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your expertise with us. It’s greatly appreciated!
Sincerely," - Dawn W.
Good afternoon,
I wanted to thank you on behalf of everyone here at (Our Company), the training you provided was beyond excellent, the feedback I received from every single person was incredibly positive, they were pleased that we cared enough to bring you in, and every employee had nothing but great feedback, they felt your training was well rounded, not just the run hide fight, but the after effects, what to look for, how to be aware, and on and on, great job!
[...] if you ever have a contact who questions the value, you have them call me.
I have provided a few e-mails from the guys here that they provided (without me asking), we were fortunate to have Curtis from our corporate office in Portland who had great things to say, he was going to pass on what he saw and heard here to his peers in corporate.
Once again thank you Doug, [...] this service is needed, and appreciated on many levels.
Kind regards," - Greg P.

"Hi Doug –
Thanks again for your presentation to the [Emergency Management] team today.
The approach you’ve taken is highly aligned to, and directly supports, our efforts to engage all stakeholders in matters of public safety, particularly our citizenry. We’re heavily vested in equipping [Citizens] with the information they need to make informed decisions during emergencies of all kinds, including mass attacks.
[....] I don’t see how we can be effective in managing risks like these without this type of upfront messaging" - Mike L.
"Hi Doug,

Today was about our people, and making them feel safe and cared for in the workplace. Your delivery was genuine, totally engaging and exactly what our people needed! The importance of this can't be understated.

Well done Doug!" - Darren L.
