JIM ABBONDANTE

"Both our employees and I were greatly impressed with Jim's ability to express
the concepts and processes in such a way that they were clearly understood and applicable to our unique needs. Jim is definitely an inspirational speaker. My people responded very enthusiastically to the sessions. We highly recommend Jim and the programs offered through The Leadership Institute to any organization interested
in building and inspiring their people into a greater degree of success."

James B. Davis, Chairman of the Board

First Federal/Osceola, Florida

"Jim provided our staff with a well-prepared and inspiring motivational program.

At the end of each of the sessions, our employees were enthusiastic and eager to apply the ideas and processes they received from Jim. I would strongly recommend Jim as a speaker and facilitator to my colleagues in the industry and to the business community at large."

Cheryl Duncan, Vice President

World Wide Beauty, Inc., Fresno, California

"It was a very informative and well-put-together program and you did a magnificent job of presenting it to our staff members. Jim, you have a real talent when it comes to public speaking and effectively communicating life changing principles and ideas. You presented the material very naturally and comfortably. We look forward to a continued association with you and also to becoming really involved with your
fine organization."

M.H. (Mickey) Atkins, Director of Counseling

The Salvation Army, Dallas, Texas

"Jim, it was such a pleasure having you with us. Undoubtedly, you held the
attention and the interest of our members better than any speaker who as ever stood before them. Your material was certainly relevant and your delivery excellent. Again, thank you for all that you did in making this our most successful event ever.

It was certainly a pleasure having you with us and we look forward to a return visit sometime in the near future. It has been a pleasure working with you in arranging our CCIM district event, and I look forward to working with you and your organization again in the future."

Robin L. Webb, District Vice President

Florida CCIM Chapter #9, Naples, Florida

"Jim's sales development program was very well received and my sales people left enthusiastic about reaching their potential in both their personal and professional lives. Jim is an excellent presenter and did a truly outstanding job. He's a true professional and a credit to your fine organization."

Robert T. McGuire, Director of Sales

Continental Cablevision of Jacksonville, Florida

"Jim gave an excellent presentation and throughout the sessions helped us to really relate to what he was saying to us. Jim showed a great deal of professionalism in
his sessions both as he spoke and as he prepared for the presentations. During
the sessions, he inspired our people to take a good look at themselves to see
the potential they had that they were not using at the time.

He is a very dynamic speaker and presenter and definitely knows how to relate to
his audience and bring them in. Jim is a very effective speaker and we couldn't

help but be motivated as we listed and participated in his sessions.

During the weeks and months following the workshops that Jim conducted, I asked several of my staff members what their feelings were about Jim and the sessions. Their responses were all about the same. They said he is an effective presenter
and they would very much like to hear him again.

I would welcome Jim and his team back again anytime because it would be well worth the investment to have Jim come and speak to us again. I would gladly recommend Jim Abbondante and his organization to any company looking to

achieve a greater degree of success due to his ability to perform and get

results."

Lee Bolin, President

Lee Bolin & Associates Builders, Calabasa, California

"Jim's recent presentation to our staff was very well-prepared and effectively presented. Our people responded very enthusiastically to Jim's sales program, and

they are now eager to proceed with developing both their personal and professional

lives to achieve the well-balanced success that is outlined in his very effective program. Feel free to use our name in recommending Jim and his very unique programs to other companies and organizations in search of results."

Glen A. Davidson, President

CMS/Data Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making Mr. Jim Abbondante available to work with us at IBM Corporation. His workshop was very effective

and Jim is an extremely fine presenter who gets an excellent response from

his audience. The results we have achieved since this workshop have

been outstanding. Please convey my sincere thanks to Jim for his

time and effort in preparing for and conducting a very enjoyable

and effective program. He is certainly a credit to your fine

organization."

Frank T. Cacciator, Site Education Coordinator

IBM Corporation, Tampa, Florida

"Jim Abbondante is truly a professional. One of the best if not the best we have
had. Our people received a great deal of benefit, not only from the content

of the messages contained in each of the workshop sessions, but also from

Jim's enthusiastic and sincere delivery. Everyone responded extremely

well to Jim, and felt they had made a new friend. Again, on behalf of

our entire team, we would like to express our appreciation to Jim

for his time, for his preparation, and for his positive impact on

our people."

M.E. Copeland, Branch Manager

AT&T, Bakersfield, California

"Having been involved in the training business for several years, one gets exposed
to a number of very different styles . . . both good and bad. But Jim has a very,

very sincere and professional style that really went over very well with the

ultra-conservative type and the stodgy old group like Pearson Realty,

(I mean after all . . . since 1919!). He very effectively woke up a

lot of people in a manner that is to be complimented. I just

thought you ought to know."

Don Price, Manager Training & Development

Pearson Realty, Fresno, California

"The impact Jim made as he addressed our group on developing a winning attitude and achieving success in the 'people business' is still paying big dividends for us.
The confidence he exudes as he speaks, and the thorough knowledge of his

subject matter, truly makes him a professional."

George O'Bryan, General Manager

U.S.A. Oregon Athletic Club, Portland, Oregon

"I am very happy to report that Jim Abbondante recently gave an outstanding presentation to my staff in Orlando, Florida. We were so enthused and excited
about our organization's direction after Jim's presentation that I arranged a repeat performance of Jim's outstanding presentation for our entire Home Office Division
in Jacksonville, Florida. In both instances, the very favorable response of our employees combined with the fundamental building blocks presented in Jim's
sessions created a very enthusiastic and progressive mood among all of our employees. I will certainly recommend Jim for our future character and
success building meetings."

Michael H. Ramsey, Regional Vice President, Sales

Alliance Mortgage Company, Orlando, Florida

"Your presentation was excellent. Our pre-presentation consultation was very valuable and helped me to formulate more concretely my needs and the goals we have in our office and for our practice. Your perception of all our needs and your skillful incorporation of our needs into your presentation was excellent and really
beneficial. I thank you for your efforts. As you were aware, our staff was greatly moved and challenged by the workshop sessions. Jim, I want you to know that
your efforts were and still are greatly appreciated. Your perceptive, enthusiastic, open and caring handling of my staff in our office left a great impression. I believe, and so does my staff, in the benefits of your programs, and I again want to thank you for your investment in us."

Greg L. Moran, D.D.S.
