Here is what our audiences have been saying...

Gordon H. Reif
Associate Pastor
Peace Memorial Church
Gift of Hope Seminar on December 16, 2007

   "The meeting was EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY: informative, inspiring, and inviting! We were so grateful to learn such a vital program, and for the ways we can become a part of it! With great pleasure we look forward to a  "Return Visit" in a few months, so that this great ministry can be shared with more people again."




Jason Tooth
Teen Leader
Peace Memorial Church

   "I would consider myself to be a well-balanced person but after hearing Jeff's
testimonial AND life story, I have strongly thought more about my purpose in life and the kind of person I want to be. Through conversations with Jeff and Josh, I have a new meaning and purpose in life: to serve the God that loves and cares for us. Jeff and Josh speak with so much conviction, emotion, and true love that I could not help but to be moved and inspired by their words! Thanks to them, I have been truly inspired to strive and live each day with a purpose and meaning. I pray that God continues to bless their ministry to others!"

I greatly appreciate the time you spent and willingness to participate in this discussion on lifesaving donation. Please pass along my deepest thanks to your family and Jason Tooth for making this program happen. The group session provided us with valuable insight into people’s views on donation. Information obtained during this session will help Gift of Hope and other organ procurement agencies throughout the country to determine methods of increasing the number of lifesaving donors. Once again, thank you for your participation in this important research."

Resident Services Director

I wanted to thank you and your team members for coming to Smith Crossing and giving a magnificent uplifting motivational talk. For me personally I found it refreshing and I was able to look at a bump in the road with a new view to help me see it in a positive way. There was one statement that I really felt helped me and that was “the best diet is forgiveness”.  It is so true how much better I felt once I had thought about the situation and realized that if I forgave it was much easier to deal with the situation.

Jeff’s presentation and the materials provided by Donate Life Illinois were very informative for the parishioners gathered for our Winter Adult Education Series, “Holy Living – Holy Dying.”  The passion with which Jeff spoke and the details of own amazing story provided a perfect frame for the educational content he offered.  Emmanuel Church would gladly welcome a “repeat” presentation.

"Thank you! I'm so glad everything turned out the way it did - what a fun (and successful) night! We made thousands of dollars from the silent auction! Your words must have worked. I think your message was perfect - something that the audience could really relate to!"

Bernadette Shanahan-Haas
Tinley Park Chamber of Commerce
CEO
Oddessey Country Club, Illinois
05/28/2009 
"You did GREAT at the membership meeting.  You show your true passion when you speak and it’s contagious!  I noticed you are very conscience of when to pause and allow everyone to think about what you are saying.  That is so valuable to a speaker…to often we see speakers rush through and really people don’t get the opportunity to think about what is being said and also relate to their own lives."

Joe Stubits
Zimmerman and Sandeman Funeral Homes
Director of Community Relations
Palermos Pizza, Illinois

"Thanks for your participation in our annual Spring Luncheon last week.  Your lead off presentation was superb and the feedback from the audience was excellent.  The enthusiasm for life that you convey to the crowd is electric and you set the tone for a wonderful afternoon!  I have already received many kind notes from those in attendance."

 "I look forward to partnering with you in the future and will recommend your motivational speeches to anyone looking to spice up a formal gathering!  If you’re ever in need of a reference, please count on me!"

Passion Stories Inspired by Revolutionizing Growth's Presentations

SMITH VILLAGE

“I wish I could dance again.  Since I was a little girl, I always loved music and dance; I could never sit still!  I took lessons until I was 16 – ballet, tap, toe, and acrobatic dance.  I was going to make it my career, but didn’t think I was good enough.  Even now, during an entertainment program, my legs and body still move to the music!”

 ~ Gertrude Norby ~


“I love art.  It has always been a part of my life because it gives me the opportunity to create and be completely different.  It allows me to express my feelings and other peoples’ feelings and see life through a different pair of eyes.  I can’t imagine my life without art.”
~ Tom Miller ~
