"Harry was fantastic. I was able to take one of the principles that I learned from the Marketing Safari, apply it to internal issues that I was having that same week. It not only solved the issue at hand, but transformed how we think about solving problems and the very nature of the problems themselves."
Patrick Mazzuca, President,
Marcan
"For years my agency has been seeking marketing guidance. We've had lots of ideas but didn't have the expertise to put them into action. The seminar provided a framework that helped my agency focus our ideas and create a plan. Now we are in the process of implementing that plan."
Marcee Kueckelhan, Director of Program Development, Learning Disabilities Association of Washington
"Going into the workshop I had a big business question on my mind and was looking for some fresh tools, thinking and perspective. I walked away with insights that I would never have been able to achieve working behind my desk or interacting only with people who work with my business all day long.”
