What People Are Saying

“The Dan Portnoy workshop was not only humorous and educational, but it really helped me see “The Story” of our agency and how I need to tell it.”

Shannon Robbins, RN

“Sometimes, in non-profits, you find yourself overloaded with duties and assignments. It was a pleasure to be reminded of the joy we bring into our communities, especially from someone embedded in the same processes and problems we face daily. Dan’s presentation allowed us to look at our non-profits with new eyes. He brought energy into telling your organization’s story. Using one-on-one examples of how you would handle problems facing our non-profits was helpful, entertaining, and applicable. Thank you for bringing Dan Portnoy to Tulsa; the information was priceless.”
