His ability to make the issues relevant to each individual situation was brilliant. Great message, great presentation, great motivation — the best attendee feedback we've ever had!

Bill Jensen skillfully explained how simplicity can help us achieve better results, and how it creates and transfers value throughout our organization. Now, we all realize that we have in our hands a new competitive advantage: Simplicity...The power to less of what doesn't matter, and more of what does!

Bill Jensen provided an excellent presentation. It was very well received by all staff. Evaluations were excellent... 95% were 4 out of 4. We will definitely be inviting Bill back again.

The feedback that I have received from Bill Jensen's message continues to reverberate through anyone who was lucky enough to be there. Job seekers are, by nature, looking for security and certitude again. They have a hard time accepting the role of serendipity in job search in particular and in life in general. But the power and grace of Bill Jensen's talk gave all of us renewed hope and energy!

(via email to Bill Jensen) I want you to KNOW that you drew me in within the first 5 minutes of your message. Your experience about your Mom reached my HEART and connected with me personally. I know it took courage for you to even be able recount that story. I benefited more from your presentation than any other (Except my Fire and Police Academies)…Thank you for a Terrific Day.

I have never had so many requests for a speaker's handouts before! One person could not stop telling me how it was an "eye opener" for him. Terrific session. We want him back ASAP!

As I have reflected on Bill Jensen's ideas and put the information in action, I can see more clearly than ever how critical it is to communicate the KFD (Know, Feel, Do) in all our work and projects. I've started using the KFD in conversations and e-mails and have been surprised and happy with the response. As I see it, the "ultimate e-mail" and KFD will fundamentally change my ability to motivate others and excel beyond my peers. I will see if I can persuade other departments in our company to host Bill Jensen. They don't know what their missing!

Keeping It Simple: Bill's session is excellent and will become increasingly more relevant as our world gets more and more complex. The time has arrived for everyone to hear Bill!

Bill Jensen's most enlightening seminar reminded me of more than a beautiful movie (2007) "The Lives of Others." Among the tons of suggestions and hints I got, this one quote from Bill is the most important for me: “Everything you do uses a portion of someone else's life.†Simple and challenging.

Bill's presentation was extremely helpful in clarifying the fact that, once again, while thinking about how to restructure the company, the company itself is the focus for simplification, not just customers nor (God forbid) employees. A wonder and stimulating presentation.

Bill's presentation to our advisory committee was truly awesome — a very stimulating morning! Bill really got that gray matter working. The Advisors really appreciated hearing Bill's insights, and took away many provocative thoughts on which to ruminate. He provoked an extremely salient discussion and everyone was into it. We are so grateful to Bill for so generously sharing his time, talent and expertise with us.

(via email) Thank you for your recent presentation. I really like your approach to organizational simplicity — it is completely different from most and if offers a great perspective that every company should adopt. I wanted you to know that your message truly resonates with the Average Joe around here!

(After Bill's presentation on Life's Work... Confidential email): I am at the end of a 25 year career on the Space Shuttle Program and, after hearing you, I am questioning whether I wasted my whole adult life. But that's good! Thank you so much!

Bill presented to our communications group in the late 90's. I have been a fan, and proponent, of his work ever since. Powerful! Useful!

A fantastic presentation that gave us all two fund and intensive hours of food for thought. Not even a week after Bill's seminar, ideas began sprouting from the participants. Bill's was a session that most will never forget.
