BOOK AND SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT TESTIMONIALS
“Your work in The Fragile Mind is motivational for my practice on many levels, so thank you for writing it. You examine very difficult realities and pose very tough questions which I admire. I also recently had the opportunity to attend your lecture at the conference and many things you spoke about really stuck with me. With regard to advising clients about employee retention, management training and leadership development, the question of success or failure arises as whether or not the individual is “self-selecting” their educational, experiential, or career paths or because the people or organizations that surround them creates an environment that is prejudicial and/or presumptive. I think this “self-selection” concept may very well be a place where EI subscales in certain individuals can be enhanced to support career, as well as personal, development. Thank you.”

“What a GREAT book!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You’ve given me a whole new way to view our world! It feels like a huge light bulb turned itself on in my head! I’m already sharing what I’ve learned with my friends and family. And I’m anxious to keep learning more and finding ways to help change the way things are. I’m also a member of our newly formed “Diversity Task Force” at Hope Haven. We’re anxious to help make Hope Haven the very best it can be! A Different Mirror was also a great book for me. Are there any other books you would recommend? Again, thank you SO MUCH for all your help!”

Dear Jarik,
Good afternoon. I wanted to send a quick note to commend you on your excellent presentation to our Vistage 2081 Group at the SJCC yesterday morning. I found your presentation to be both interesting and thought provoking. I would like to wish you the very best success in this new venture and hope that we will get the opportunity to meet again in the future.
Kind regards,

Good morning, Jarik:
Thank you, once again, for a wonderful presentation and discussion about Emotional Intelligence. I have no doubt that our audience left with excellent insight into the science, theory and practical application of EI and how they can be mindful of and intentional about integrating the components into their lives. Your energy and personality also came through well, which I think was reflected in the quality of the questions.
I appreciated your smooth resumption of the flow, once we recovered full use of the technology, as well as extending the time to continue with content and then respond to the questions. You really covered a lot! Thanks for the follow-up call, too!
You made a very valuable contribution to the UIAA and the Alumni Career Center. We’re very grateful that you reached out and asked how you could help us. Please let us know how we can help you.
Best wishes for continued success! Enjoy all that comes along!

“Our diversity training experience with Dr. Jarik Conrad was exceptional. Staff gained greater insight into how the brain and emotions contribute to our views of others. By the end of our full day retreat we had reached consensus on short term action steps that can move us closer to where we want to be. We look forward to having Dr. Conrad come back next year to assess our progress and keep us moving forward. All of our employees were excited by the day, fully engaged, and motivated to take action.”
