Bill Jawitz’s Productivity Bootcamp was excellent. It struck the perfect
balance between providing practical tools for organizing and prioritizing work
on the one hand, and establishing a clear framework for understanding how increased
productivity really happens on the other. Bill is a very strong and engaging
presenter. His extensive knowledge of what our lawyers face on a day-to-day basis
was clearly evident. His use of creative visuals, well-organized materials, and
even some magic tricks kept our attorneys totally engaged throughout the entire
90-minute presentation. Both as individuals and in teams, our department of 34
lawyers is beginning to see tangible benefits in improved efficiency. This was
well worth the time!

I gained valuable information and several useful techniques for
managing my time more effectively from [Bill's] presentation at
the annual training conference for the FEMA Office of Chief Counsel.
In my role as FEMA Deputy Chief Counsel, I coordinate a large number of
tasks in a fast-paced, complex environment. I am confident [Bill's] suggestions
and techniques will prove helpful to me and my staff of over
120 who attended the session. I found the presentation to be both practical
and engaging.

Our firm retained Bill Jawitz initially to speak to our attorneys
regarding marketing and relationship building. We were so impressed
with his clarity, organization, and presentation that we invited
him back to speak to all our attorneys and staff on the
importance of teamwork and customer service. Our session was
extremely well received by everyone. All of the material was
very relevant, entertaining and fun, and got even our meekest
employee involved. Reinforcing the concept of teamwork with
our staff has made us a more efficient operation and thus more
profitable. We plan on having Bill back on a regular basis.

Bill Jawitz did a terrific Time Management presentation for
a group of our lawyers and in-house lawyers from the legal
department of a corporate client. The specific information
he presented, and the energy of his presentation style, made
Bill's presentation both valuable and interesting to our diverse
audience.

Roger Turgeon
Bill is an energetic and dynamic speaker who intertwines motivation
with practical "how to" instruction. His interactive
style kept our diverse group of lawyers involved throughout
the session and not wanting it to end. Even in our abbreviated
session, he aptly demonstrated how almost any lawyer can formulate
and carry out a plan for developing more (and better) business
with results that would probably look like magic to the uninformed.

Bill was the opening speaker for our association's March 2006
event "The Building Blocks of Starting and Growing Your
Own Law Firm." We wanted Bill to set the stage for the
rest of the day, and he nailed it! He has a deep understanding
of what it takes to run a successful small firm, and he communicates
that understanding very effectively. Our members were extremely
impressed; we look forward to having Bill back at future
events.

Bill is a highly engaging presenter who connects with
our members and helps them successfully address the challenges
they face every day in running their practices. His approach
is to inspire as well as to share practical tips. Like all
lawyers, our members are extremely busy, and they want strong
value when they attend educational seminars. Bill has received
excellent evaluations from his audiences because he delivers
that value. NHCBA enjoys working with Bill, appreciates his skills,
and looks forward to his continued participation in our educational
programs.
