Although some theory may be discussed, the primary focus of all presentations is helping attendees with what they can do to facilitate rapid and effective changes! Please see the website tab for evaluations and view sample evaluation summaries. You also might want to review the testimonial portion of the website and note the comments from the seminar organizers, not just participants! Many of these groups have asked Dr. Berk to return several times with different topics. Links: Referring Professionals, Attendee Testimonials, Hudson Article and Evaluation Summaries

What Type of Groups Do You Present To? Groups can be homogeneous such as all teachers or heterogeneous with mixed professionals and lay persons in a field. The presentation is geared around the attendee’s backgrounds and level of sophistication while being commensurate with their current needs. For example, groups with more experience may seek only advanced materials.

What Size Groups Will You Present To? Dr. Berk has presented to groups with hundreds of people and groups with only a few individuals. Of course the smaller the group, the more the information can be tailor made and the more individual interaction time is available to attendees.

Why Should We Hire You? First of all you can eliminate the risk of a bad presentation with unsatisfied consumers. Dr. Berk will work with you and bring his years of experience as not only a professional presenter, but a practicing consultant, therapist, “coach”, and trainer. Also Dr. Berk works with schools and organizations on an ongoing basis. Be careful not to hire someone who looks great or writes well, but then presents poorly. There are many skills to being a professional presenter including not only a strong command of the material, but being able to present it in an entertaining manner to connect with an audience. Dr. Berk will work very hard to do each of these skills for the groups that hire him. He will bring to your organization not only high quality tailor made information, but a practical approach that connects to your audience!
