"I
just returned from Lockheed Martin's Astronautics Supplier Conference
where I had the pleasure of accepting their Small Business Subcontractor
of the Year Award. I'm writing to congratulate you and say that you also
share in the award. The ideas from your book, The Art of Partnering, and
the knowledge you shared with Rifocs at our dealer conference aided in
building this powerful relationship with Lockheed Martin."

was very pleased at how well you presented your information and with so
much vigor. Your presentation, The Art of Partnering, was
outstanding!" -Charles Hendrix, Assistant Manager, Supplier

your partnering ideas in the association as a way of increasing our
programs and services." -William Gager, President, Automotive
Parts Rebuilders Association "It

seminar evaluation sheets, which I have reviewed, confirm my
comments." -John Schulz, Manager, R&D Quality Assurance,

time you took to study our industry and customize your program for our

"We hired Ed Rigsbee to facilitate our
sessions focused on marketing at our annual convention.
This was a huge challenge as our members have traditionally not
looked at the broader picture in terms of what can be done
differently to re-focus our products and thus grow our industry.
Ed's succinct, yet gung-ho
facilitating process led the members to where THEY thought they
initially couldn't go, to knowing it was the only way to go. For
our group, that was huge. Ed has an uncanny ability for professional
facilitating. Thanks for setting us our future
course." -Jane McEwen, Executive Director,
International Packaged Ice Association
