There is a subtle yet distinct difference between training and education. Training is showing someone what to do without allowing for that individual's personal frame of reference. Education focuses on and influences one's beliefs, which in turn influence behavior, which impacts results - not just for today, but forever.

" Applied Strategic Planning has been the most beneficial investment of time, energy and money we have ever made! Without it, I can't imagine what the future might look like. This powerful process and your leadership brought clarity to who we are, what we want to be and how to go about getting there. It made us create our future on purpose rather than just letting it happen. It focused us on a target and plan. At the same time it brought energy, enthusiasm, commitment and ownership to all participants. The words "Thank You" are not strong enough for all you have done for us! " Joan Forrest, Executive Director Dawson Center for the Advancement of Dentistry St Petersburg, FL

" Dear Bob, What a wonderful, rewarding, productive time. Thank you so much for all you did (and continue to do) to help bring the Dawson Center to its greater potential. In retrospect, I think every minute of the session was critically important to the process. Thank you (and Bill) for your magnificent leadership. And by the way, it was a really fun time. Looking forward to further progress. Warmest regards, Pete Dawson August 6, 2006 " Pete Dawson

" I have to add my name to the list of those who sing your praise! The two-year experience of working with you on Applied Strategic Planning has been one of the truly great experiences of my time in dentistry. I believe that one of the highest titles that can be given to an individual is "teacher". You certainly have the right to that title, and we deeply appreciate what you have taught us! " Dr. John S. Findley, President Elect of the American Dental Association Past President of Dallas County Dental Society & Texas Dental Association Dallas, TX

" I want to personally thank you for all the work you have put into making the ASP process a success for our 13 doctor group. We could not have gone through this without your guidance, hands-on care and enthusiasm. My only regret is that I will not be with you as frequently as during this past year. My hope is to get with you at other courses and activities you offer to continue to grow both my leadership and our friendship. I look forward to our future experiences together.
