"You were great:
spontaneous, funny and professional! Your talk was exhilarating: fast-paced
and sparked with your non-stop jokes. Your humor was always
tasteful and sensitive to the needs of people with disabilities.
You handled everything with both precision and warmth.
Can you be our speaker again next year?"

"I really enjoyed
your presentation, giving away some of the 'secrets' of the
professional speaker:
- How
to relax yourself so that your audience will relax with
you. One item you cleared up immediately: the idea that if I make jokes,
no one will take me seriously. The key you used to expose this
untruth: your jokes instantly converted your audience into a
like-minded community; when we all laughed, we were
agreeing with you about why those particular jokes are
funny!
- How
to reduce complex statements to short,
pithy sound bites which the audience will easily remember.
When you gave several examples, it seemed as if half the audience chanted
each sound bite phrase along with you.
- How to get
a good, strong rhythm under your words.
Primal Delivery: making words jab into our ears. People
listen to your words, but respond to your rhythm.
There's little enough
to laugh about in our world but you definitely brightened up our day.
I personally appreciated the guidance you gave us about How
to Tell a Joke, but especially
How to Remember a Joke.
Now, remembering the punch word . . . Success!
Visit us again!

"Your program
was informative, funny & enjoyable!"
Michael DeProto, SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, Guerneville, California
"I heard many
great comments about your presentation!
Sally Shawler, Business Manager, CARE WEST NURSING, Petaluma, California
"You helped demystify
the process of speaking in public. The women enjoyed your talk;
but equally important, we all came away with specific and practical
tips that will be useful when making our own presentations, or simply
telling a joke among friends. The principles you shared such as How
to Make an Audience Like You A Lot, Pausing After Telling
a Joke and What to Do About The FACE will be
remembered and practiced! Thanks for your help!"
Mary Ann Mayo, bookstore owner, A WOMAN'S PLACE, Sebastopol, California
"Thank you for
your informative and enlightening talk. And especially for sharing
your many personal experiences: bringing Humor
to the Work Place and into our daily lives; learning about your comedy
coaching and our passion for laughing!"
Sharie Sbrazza, owner, SANTA ROSA TRAVEL, Santa Rosa, California

"Jim Richardson
is a powerful speaker and humorist, a remarkable world-class
lecturer. He combines essential information with keen enthusiasm and
tasteful humor. Jim demonstrates how to use the sound bite in daily and
academic work. How to get back in the ring and fight-the-good-fight. Short,
positive arguments that WIN! I strongly and unequivocally
recommend Mr. Richardson!"
