Hi Cary!  I wanted to thank you again for giving our keynote address at the California Apartment Association Expo and Conference yesterday morning.  Your talk was not only fascinating, it was dynamic and stimulating, and definitely set the tone we wanted for the rest of the event.  I had dozens of people compliment me on your talk and thank me, and Lisa, for bringing you in to share your success and motivation.  My own staff is already walking around the office talking about Lunging Forward, so I know that you made a huge impression.  The rest of the day went extremely well, too, and the energy you generated lasted throughout the entire day.

David,

Cary was fantastic.  He was an excellent choice.  I have been receiving great reviews so far.  We will be issuing a survey in a couple of days and should have more specific input.

I picked Cary up at the airport on Sunday and we talked a little about the speech in the car.  I then picked him up at 0700 on Monday and took him to our facilities at Capital One.  Technically everything went well too.  It only took about 15 minutes to get him set up and make sure everything was working well.

His speech went over well and his style, i.e. his approach to managing his life and time, is very Capital One like.  I received feedback from a few people that specifically mentioned how versed in Capital One speak he was.  After the speech he had a table available for autographs.  After about 20 minutes, there were still people lined up at the table.  He then sat down with about five of us (myself and four attendees) over lunch.  He responded to everyone's questions and was very approachable.

We then went out to dinner (8 including Cary) on Monday evening and spent nearly three hours talking.  My director, the sponsor of the event, was very impressed with Cary, and the two of us both agreed that Cary could easily justify charging more for his services.

Once I get the feedback from the survey I will follow-up with the two of you.

Regards, Andy

Cary,

I wanted to send you a short note to thank you for coming to our PRIDE forum here in San Francisco and motivating our team. Your high energy, enthusiasm and heartfelt journey were inspirational to our sales colleagues. Just what we were hoping for when we planned your participation.

Comments like--"I was really moved by his passion to be a winner, I share that same passion" or another "Just like Cary sometimes it feels like we are falling down a mountain but we always get up, learn from our mistakes and we get better". Quite a fitting conclusion to what was an excellent meeting event. The team is ready to Lunge Forward!

Cary, we wish you and your family the best going forward. Enjoy Calgary and hope to see you in the future.

Best Regards,

Craig A. Peterhansen, Vice President-Sales

“Cary Mullen was a "home run"! He was great to work with in advance. We spent about an hour on the phone together a few weeks in advance talking about our industry, and it showed. He masterfully inserted the information into the appropriate spots & made the presentation "tailor made" for us. Our members gave him high marks across the board & I received MANY personal "congrats" & "thanks" for his session. He was the "hit" of the convention!”  Mark Goff, NASMD

Hi Cary:  I wanted to thank you again for a fabulous keynote address on Friday afternoon!  It was a great way to end our conference and your message tied perfectly to our overall themes for the conference and for how we want to conduct ourselves as we move forward!  Tim was very pleased and we both commented that we liked your expression "the prize lies on the other side of fear!"

Thanks also for joining us on the boat cruise.  It was a great chance for many folks to meet you and we appreciated you taking the extra time!

Every year we bring in an outside speaker to energize and motivate our sales team.  Not only did Cary engage and entertain our team, he went above and beyond expectations with his ability to relate his experiences as a world class athlete transforming them into relevant and excellent business lessons.  I could hear our sales team talking about Cary after the event and to me that's the true sign of a winning presentation.  I would not hesitate to recommend Cary to any business or organization that is looking for a guest speaker and performance coach.

"I never call right after the event, but I had to.  Cary Mullen...Man, he was good! I've heard a lot of speakers, astronauts, everything.  He is by far the best, he is outstanding.  Our group is tough to get people engaged, but he's one of those speakers you could listen to for 2-3 hours.  He relates skiing to leadership... You're going to have a tough time next year finding a speaker for us to top him.  He's just a great speaker. If someone doesn't like him, they won't like anybody." Robin Seele, Westar Energy
