"I can personally recommend Gary Sheely to anyone looking for an engaging speaker that is not afraid to tell their group the truth.  Our organization has had quite a bit of active shooter training over the last two years but we wanted to address the environment that leads up to a possible event.  Gary did a great job of outlining clearly some of the signs to be diligent in looking for as well as behaviors in yourself that can effect people in a potentially negative way.  The group of CEO’s in the room commented repeatedly about how they felt Gary was talking directly to them.  Hopefully, that will lead to some positive change or at least awareness in our people moving forward.  I strongly recommend allowing Gary to have two sessions so that you can experience some of the practical group activities.

Thanks Mr. Sheely!"
