.. What Others Are Saying About Howard:
“Dr. Gauthier provided a presentation on “The Power of Positive Leadership” to my Chamber members which they are still talking about. The eye-opening part of his presentation, for many of us, was learning that we as business leaders don’t always act in a positive manner, even though we think we are. Acting and communicating in a positive manner is not as common-sense as you would think – rather, you have to make a choice, and deliberately work on being a positive leader. We got a lot out of the 45 minute presentation, but Dr. Gauthier’s material had enough depth to easily cover an hour, as an introduction, and I think at least five or six workshop sessions would be about perfect. He’s a polished presenter, and his material is backed by his countless hours of research.” -- Marc Abshire, Executive Director Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce
"Howard, your presentation was just plain awesome!" --Dr. Robin Dodson Idaho State University
“Your presentation was thoughtful, informative, and very meaningful to our participants” -Patricia Flanigan, Event Planner New Knowledge Adventures
“Positive Leadership is a critical topic for success and one I highly recommend. Dr Gauthier’s book is motivational with specific actionable information. It was a pleasure having him work with our organization and team.” --Phil McNichol, Former Head Coach U.S. Men’s Olympic Ski Team Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation
