Client Comments:
"Kevin is one of the most powerful and influential presenters and
facilitators I have ever met. He helped my company develop a powerful
vision, mission statement and strategy, and his customer service seminar
fired up my team as never before. He has an incredible way of connecting
with others and inspiring them with power-packed tools and ideas. I can't
possibly recommend him more highly." --Ted Dodge, CEO Boardwalk Group,
Provo Utah
We have been working with Kevin on ways to improve our customer service;
his energy, enthusiasm and especially understanding of our industry--were
all well received by our employees; he involved them in the learning process
and had them commit to their individual goals. He was able to help us
see our financial institution through the eyes of a customer which was
invaluable- the excellent training and loads of new ideas was a bonus-
very cost effective for us. --Phil Trost- Senior Vice President Central
Bank
It is with great pleasure and enormous confidence that I submit to you
my personal recommendation of Kevin Miller of VisionBound International.
Kevin has taught various training and development seminars to many of
our clients. As an institution of Higher Education, our customers expect
that their educational experiences with us will be of the highest caliber
and value. The seminars we have sponsored where Kevin has been the facilitator
have been some of the most well received, most popular, and most highly
praised of this type. In particular, Kevin's customer service seminars
are invariably among the most highly rated of all the workshops and seminars
we sponsor. He has a unique ability to motivate every attendee to participate
fully and to simultaneously feel that they are being entertained and that
they are learning and gaining some very powerful and useful tools. I recommend
Kevin Miller most highly and am enormously confident that his training
will be as valuable to your organization as it has been to so many of
our clients. –Bob Stevens, Director, Corporate Training Salt Lake
Community College (801) 957.5200
Kevin Miller has presented to our organization and community brief overviews
of Crucial Conversations, hour long telephonic multimedia overviews of
Crucial Conversations, and the three day long Crucial Conversations Mastery
Course. His ability to present, no matter which way he was asked to present,
and with or without advance notice, says a lot about his ability and versatility.
Kevin is skilled and likable. He knows how to reach an audience and how
to keep their attention. He is quick to recognize when someone in the
audience is not engaged and soon has them involved. His humor makes his
classes fun and keeps people interested. He has in memory a multitude
of applicable sayings and adages that he adds to the class at just the
right time and place - as if he were a chef adding just the right spice
or flavoring to make the meal that much more pleasurable. Kevin believes
that the material he shares will make a significant difference in the
lives and affairs of the people he teaches and those who attend his classes
become very aware of that. I strongly recommend Kevin as someone you can
count on to represent you well. --Paul Verhagen, Magistrate, Nenana Alaska
and Chair, Nenana Wellness Coalition
We invited Kevin Miller to provide storewide training on Customer Service
and leadership skills. We discovered, to our delight, he uses foundational
principles as his training style. His high energy, conviction about his
subject matter and fun interactive teaching skills made a strong impact
on our employees. They learned while having fun! Kevin makes the seminar
experience easy. He is a skilled presenter, previewing his training materials
and establishing clear objectives. He then relates the training to known
or familiar circumstances through examples and case studies so students
easily identify the principles in action. He builds upon this understanding
by relating these principles to their own work situations through interaction
and games. His handouts, shortcuts and survey tools are outstanding reminders
of essential principles. Everyone loves his keen sense of humor and fun
examples. We plan on bringing him back to develop a long-term training/coaching
program we believe will be world-class. If you would like my further impressions
on Kevin as a presenter or of his customer service program, please call
me at 435-797-1666. --David Hansen, Director Utah State University Bookstore
We invited Kevin to present a full eight hours of training to over 60
members in our Mountain States College Store Association last year. His
powerful, dynamic sessions provided dozens of great tools to our members
on how to lead their bookstore teams and deliver incredible customer service.
His presentations were so great that our members insisted we invite him
back this year for another day of presentations on leadership, communication,
resolving conflict, and working with difficult customers. The response
from our members was incredible. He leaves his audiences inspired, but
more importantly, leaves very useful handouts packed with tools you can
take back and implement immediately in your teams. Kevin has worked with
college students for many years and understands their needs and how to
lead them. His "Customers Only Want Two Things" program is right
on the mark in working in this market and my own bookstore employees completely
benefited from it. I highly recommend you bring Kevin in as a trainer
and presenter in your bookstores, or as a main presenter or keynote speaker
for any association conference. --Roger Reynolds, 2000-2001 president,
MSCSA 801-422-2551
Kevin Miller is one of the most talented inspirational trainers I have
ever met with the natural ability to generate excitement and the courage
required to change. I have attended several workshops and seminars in
admiration of how he has unfolded to my understanding the concepts he
was teaching while at the same time created an incredible desire to succeed
at them. -Richard D. Jarvis, President, Extraordinary Development, INC
"All of QSI's managers, including me, participated in the Extraordinary
Leader profile and seminar. I have met with each of them to discuss their
leadership development, and have been very impressed with how well the
EL program helps people see their strengths and weaknesses, and, just
as important, helps them develop a plan for improvement. Kevin Miller's
presentation is engaging and helped us bring to the book's theory into
real practice. Several months after the seminar, all of QSI's managers
are still regularly using EL and what they learned from Kevin. This seminar
is time and money well spent.” Jim Elwell, President and CEO, QSI
Incorporated www.qsicorp.com
Kevin is a dynamic presenter. Absolutely top-drawer. His leadership program
raised the standard for everyone in the room. His ‘Extraordinary
Leader’ course took the guesswork out of leadership for me. The
remarkably new research helped me to pinpoint the right growth opportunities
and custom build a plan of attack for me. If you really want to know how
to propel yourself over the top and gain skills you will use your whole
life long then I recommend you take the ‘Extraordinary Leader’
challenge.” -- Christopher Peck, Vice President Sales & Marketing,
Blast Through Learning
“Kevin was our keynote presenter at our corporation's annual convention
at Clearwater, Florida. His presentation on ‘Lessons in Leadership’
was dynamic, powerful and drove home to our managers the key differences
between leadership and management. He provided us with many keys to determine
if we were truly visionary leaders, and really fired up our team to become
better at what we do. I was totally pleased with the results.”
—David Hoggan, CEO, Petragon Corporation, Kansas City, MO
Kevin's "The Extraordinary Leader" program is a well researched
program that goes beyond
speculation and theory of what a leader is and does. It puts a science
to the process of identifying and developing leadership. I appreciated
the emphasis that was given to the importance of working to improve the
strengths of the individual rather than focusing on the weaknesses and
also the powerful influence that one has if you are good in just three
of the
sixteen leadership competencies. It was very insightful to learn how the
competency companions were used to increase your leadership abilities
which leads to greater effectiveness and productivity. I was additionally
impressed with the non-linear development that moved you from a good leader
to a great leader. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who
is seeking to improve their leadership skills or for anyone who is responsible
for the development of leadership in their organization. Kevin's dynamic
style and fascinating insights made the course truly memorable. --Ed Teal
Vice President RC Willey, Inc. Salt Lake City, Utah
"The Extraordinary Leader class that Kevin taught was one of the
most powerful and insightful programs I have ever attended. The 360 degree
profile gave me deep insights into how others perceive me as a leader,
and the course and follow-on coaching has paved an exciting path for me
to follow in developing my leadership skills. And Kevin is an amazing
presenter: he knows how to connect to the audience yet make it seem like
he's teaching just you." Ricardo Fuchs, Vice President Serv Corp,
Inc.
"As a Human Resource Director, the Extraordinary Leader program has
been a god-send. I was able to use the 360 degree feedback tool as a way
to help each executive receive honest and effective feedback. The course
was fascinating and helped us interpret the data and develop personal
programs for improving our leadership. We are now using it as the foundation
of an entirely new leadership development program. The personal one-on-one
coaching by Kevin was particularly effective." Christina Ichi, HR
Director, Serv Corp, Inc.
Payson City recently completed a training course from Kevin Miller that
had the effect of rekindling the positive moral of the employees and created
a dedication to customer service that will remain with us for a long time.
Kevin was able to relate with the diverse needs of a full service organization
and provide meaningful insights of how each of us can be more customer
friendly. Kevin brings with him some great written and reference information
that can be used time and again as a refresher course or as new employees
are hired. We hope to continue with more extensive training in the future.
If you have any questions about the training or Kevin as a trainer, please
feel free to contact me by calling (801) 465-5209 between 8:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Sincerely, Andy Hall, Payson City Manager
Thank you for your outstanding Customer Service Training Seminar, especially
for the Management portion of the two-day training. You gave us a number
of ideas and tools to better our customer relations and most, if implemented,
would be of little cost to our community. Your manner of presentation
was very good. You added a little spice to keep our attention and to drive
the message home. Everyone who attended gained knowledge and understanding
and hopefully the patience required of civil servants in their quest to
provide excellent service. If my recommendation is an asset to your developing
relationship with other cities in search of your expertise, please feel
free to use this letter as you see fit.
Bernell C. Evans, Payson City Mayor
Leadership Presentation to the Mountain States Association of
University and College Bookstores 17 October 2001
We need you to come back next year—this was by far the most productive
workshop I have ever attended. The ideas were such that we could put
them into use in our stores. Thank you. Dan Shaw, Weber State University
Bookstore
Wonderful presentation! Wish it could have been two full days or more.
Your seminar was wonderful! It’s the best one I’ve been to. Thanks for
the help and motivation. I think you have helped us make a difference.
Thanks for giving me the desire to make changes and the tools to do so.
Kevin: Thank you for the “tools” and “tips” in Leadership—I’ve learned
important things not only about this topic but about myself. I’ve appreciated
the opportunity to learn!
That They Might Have Joy Workshop July 2001 National Association
of Educational Office Professionals National Meeting Salt Lake City
He brought out logical ideas that we probably know or knew but need to
be rerminded of more often and how to relax and enjoy life around us.
Everything was done in a very professional level. Things covered were
relative to almost everyone’s life. The suggestions offered were great.
Kevin is a great speaker/presenter and I highly enjoyed this workshop.
Kevin, your presentation was awesome! You helped me to appreciate and
have more joy! Bring Kevin back—come to Texas in 2001!
Best presentation I have attended in quite a few years.
NAEOP should schedule him for every annual institute and conference.
Please get him again!
The message I got from this course is the one I was looking for. I loved
the instructor’s enthusiasm. Kevin made me feel at ease and his inclusion
of all participants in the training made it a wonderful experience.
Kevin is an excellent presenter—very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and enjoyable
to watch—awesome and excellent!
It was all wonderful and the best workshop I have attended so far in this
conference. This is what I needed and was looking for. Thanks!
Great course---should come in a pill form so I can dispense to everyone
I know!
