"Thanks for a fantastic job!  Even our AV people said you are the best they have ever heard!  --Karen Hines, executive director Association of College and University Auditors 

"In my 12 years as an association executive I've never seen a speaker better at holding the audience's attention.  Gene Griessman was the best." - Hugh J. Rushing, Executive Vice President, Cookware Manufacturing Association.

“The rave reviews are still coming in from our managers about your Lincoln presentation.  As you know, all our senior managers in the region attended the conference.   Also we had our national management team from Washington, D.C.  The only thing they have in common is they are not easily impressed....Your “Lincoln” evoked universal praise with many commenting that they would love to have you again next year.  I was particularly impressed with my meeting with you before the conference.   You asked what themes or impressions I would like conveyed to my management team.   You drew upon your expansive knowledge of Lincoln to artfully convey these themes and impressions....You have melded your knowledge of management principles with a superb acting ability and in so doing you captivate the hearts and imaginations of all who are privileged to see you.   You were Lincoln, and we listened to you with no less awe and reverence.    Bravo!”---Henry G. Watkins, Chief Judge, Southern Region, Office of Hearings and Appeals, Social Security Administration

There's a break following "Lincoln Live."  (The second part of the program can take place later in the day, or even the next day.)

During the second part of the program, Dr. Griessman leads a seminar on the common denominators of great leaders and high achievers. He reveals communication techniques used by actors and professional speakers.  Griessman draws on years of studying Lincoln, plus his exclusive one-on-one interviews with the best-known leaders of our time, including Ronald Reagan, Ted Turner, Ray Charles, Mary Kay, Sandra Day O’Connor, Aaron Copland, Tennessee Williams, Helen Gurley Brown, Frank Borman, Paul “Bear” Bryant, Hank Aaron, and scores of other leaders from the worlds of business, science, sports, and politics.  Griessman—who was on-camera host of “Up Close,” which aired for years on TBS, and has written numerous articles in major publications and books on high achievement—offers insider information about many of the personalities you have read about or seen on television or in the movies.
