		<description>My husband has been treated at MSKCC for the last 2 years. Nick the Doorman is a wonderful ray of sunshine in a dark storm.  We often thank him for being so positive and making the experience of cancer treatment so positive. His energy heals many
people. He is in the right job and we are forever grateful for him.  Thank you for the article.</description>

		<description>Eight hugs/day seems quite steep, especially given the fact that I can barely get 8 glasses of water/day!  None-the-less, very interesting research.  :)</description>

		<description>Michael,

Thanks for your review &amp; recommendation of our book.  Your focus on human value is great, and connects with our emphasis on appreciation.  We differentiate between employee recognition and appreciation because we believe that people have inherent worth &amp; value beyond just how they perform at work.  I hope you &amp; your readers find the book helpful.  For leaders, we have developed  materials to help implement the concepts themselves with their team members.  Thanks again!</description>

		<description>In late 2010 I accepted the responsibility as Education Chairman for the 2011/2012 Education Year for our YPO Chapter.  Shortly thereafter, I read the book Fired Up or Burned Out written by Michael Lee Stallard and Jason Pankau of E Pluribus Partner’s and knew that they were a &quot;must have&quot; for my program.  My goals for the program were to move beyond a simple 1-2 hour lecture and instead have an experiential full-day workshop.  Mike and Jason delivered a tremendous workshop, and of the 85 business leaders that attended their level of satisfaction was very high.

All felt that there was significant take home value in the form of not just ideas, but concrete action items they could immediately begin to utilize to improve their businesses. 

Below are quotes from many of the event participants that attended:
“Excellent content, very knowledgeable resources and entertaining as well”
&quot;The presentation content and the delivery was excellent&quot;
&quot;The presentation was an excellent balance between research and practical experience&quot;
 
In addition, Mike and Jason were easy to work with during the planning of the session, and met or exceeded all of my expectations.

		<description>Burnout, compassion fatigue, stress, of loss of meaning and feelings of isolation are all too common in the workplace.  We invited Michael Lee Stallard to speak to faculty and staff at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, a large and complex mission-driven institution because we knew that his message was one we needed to hear.   Michael&#039;s research and data on connection and engagement captivated our audience full of scientists.  As leaders, it is a challenge to keep people inspired, connected and engaged.   Michael shared real world examples of leaders who successfully have done all these things.  It was a fully engaging and inspiring presentation.  The evaluations were “awesome,” as one faculty member said.
