”It is with great enthusiasm and sincerity that I provide Dr. Don Melnychuk with high recommendations on behalf of the Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission.  Don has provided several in-house courses to our organization on “Stress Management and Communicating with Confidence and Control”.  His instruction style has been so well received by our staff that we are interested in having Don instruct additional courses pertaining to shiftwork and lifestyle management.  Our organization is diverse so Don has taken a sincere interest in tailoring his courses to ensure that our staff is able to interact and share their experiences with each other.  In fact, evaluations have commented on Don’s ability to draw from everyone’s participation and incorporate their experiences into that day of learning.  I am pleased to share my highest regard for Don’s natural talent in adult education and feel that he has touched our organization in many ways.”

Energy and enthusiasm in action...

“I wanted to extend my thank-you on behalf of the Alberta Government Civil Lawyers Association for your session on “Communicating with Confidence and Control”.  Our members greatly enjoyed this presentation at our associations’ Fall Conference in Banff.  I know that some of them inquired of your services after the session and several made a point of approaching me to indicate their enjoyment of your work.  Your obvious energy and enthusiasm rubbed off and resulted in a great atmosphere for learning and having fun.  This is the second opportunity I have had to observe you in action and I was impressed on both occasions with your preparation, sincerity and energetic personality.  I will not hesitate in recommending you to other groups or individuals.  Thanks again Don for helping our group of lawyers deal with the stressful environment in which they work.”
