    I’ve been active in consulting, offering seminars and speeches, and customized training programs for more than 20 years.

    During that time, I’ve done hundreds of seminars and speeches, public and onsite, and I’ve trained thousands of people, many of whom have given me written evaluations and letters praising their experiences.

    Tonight, in gathering some quotes to use in a seminar brochure, I had to wrestle with a few important questions:

    Let’s say someone gave you a glowing testimonial about a program you did ten years ago, saying you were dynamic, interesting, relevant, and your seminar was “The best I’ve ever attended!”

    (I have some of those; really, I do!)

    Can you use it, today? Still, I believe I am all of those things and my programs are great.

    But is it fair to attribute these qualities to myself, now?

    I say, why not? I earned the accolades and they never bore a “use-by” date, like ground beef or milk at the supermarket.
