______________________

   Basic Thesis:   We all are different. Some of us are thinkers, others are doers; some are passive, still others are aggressive. Most people come to work with pretty good intentions, but we get on each other’s nerves just by being ourselves. In the every-day stress of the work environment, the tiniest issues can escalate. And soon we are fighting about the way we are fighting, instead of dealing with the real issues. People do not respond to our intentions. They respond to our behavior.

   Studies show that 15% of one's career and financial success is dependent upon technical competence, while 85% of one's success is dependent upon interpersonal skills.

  This is not off-the-shelf stuff. He is an expert at customizing the training to meet specific needs. With a Ph.D. in counseling, Dr. Freeman can also address some of the issues surrounding marriage, singleness, stress management, suicide prevention, morale, conflict resolution, family life in or out of the military, and more...connecting all of this information to the participants of the training.
 

LETTERS  OF  REFERENCE

2005 -- Dr. Freeman was asked to do the Annual Training Conference (ATC) for the
Baltimore Battalion. Below is the reference letter from the Battalion Commander.

September, 2006 -- Dr. Freeman was asked to return to conduct an

To Whom It May Concern:

    1.  I am honored to give Dr. Joel Freeman my highest endorsement for his excellent training and educational programs. While serving as the Battalion Commander of the Baltimore Recruiting Battalion, Dr. Freeman successfully served as my unit's principle trainer during our Annual Training Conference. His performance and expertise were unparalleled as he professionally trained the largest recruiting battalion in the nation consisting of seven companies, two Military Entrance and Processing Centers and over 300 recruiters.

    2.  Equally impressive were the results that were yielded from the excellent training event. His diligent research and preparation ensured his training was very informative and relevant to our business. Dr. Freeman was instrumental in quickly eliminated the barriers of personality differences and other leadership flaws while displaying alternate ways of getting the absolute best performance from all who attended. Countless recruiters remarked that Dr. Freeman's training was very helpful and that it would definitely help them better accomplish their missions.

    3.  Dr. Freeman's materials such as his books and tapes were also very helpful. These excellent tools supported his teachings and provided a means for operational sustainment in following what he had taught to us. To note, in concert with the dedication and hard work of the entire battalion, the unit was able to reach goals never reached before. The battalion finished number one in the brigade and continues to enjoy success today. As a testament to his expertise and organizational abilities, Dr. Freeman was later selected to serve as an endorsed and accepted professional trainer for the entire command.

    4.  I cannot overstate Dr. Freeman's proven abilities. I am proud to have served along side this outstanding scholar and would be more than willing to serve with him again. Dr. Freeman is the consummate professional of the highest caliber and will undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to any organization.

Dear Dr. Freeman:

     I have nothing but positive feedback from the commanders and first sergeants who attended your seminar with me on 13 December.

   Your presentation was on target to our needs and will without doubt help us to better focus when we come together again shortly to develop our organizational goals.

   The methods you showed us for dealing with peers and others we interact with will serve us all not only in this organization but well into the future, making your seminar one of the most valuable I have ever attended.

   I am grateful for the flexibility you showed in meeting our needs for time and place and also for working within our resources.

   I hope that we will have the opportunity to work with you in the future. Thank you for investing in America's Army.

Dear Dr. Freeman:

    Several months ago you provided a workshop for employees on my staff.

    The staff members, supervisors and managers were elated with the interesting material relating to leadership skills and the contributing factors to the behavioral styles. In fact, I was really impressed with all of the subjects in the workbooks you handed out to all of us.

    Some of the comments I received from the attendees were as follows: "I think that all DOD employees should attend a course like this."  "I wish we could have extended the workshop another day or two."  "I am now a better employee, parent and person after attending this workshop."

    I strongly recommend your training programs to all employees in a work environment such as the Federal Government or in the public sector as well. Although I am retiring in the next two months, I am going to personally recommend to my replacement that he should have your workshop return on an annual basis for new supervisors and managers.


                         Sincerely,
