His is the type of delivery we needed to counter less than motivated performance and to keep the better performers performing better. His research beforehand was exhastive and he gave us clear pathways for improvement."

"The LYFE Training has provided us a common language to use, a blueprint, and a renewed sense of purpose. It is great to see young managers step up now with confidence.

Department Director

Hilton Homewood Suites

"Mr. Macdonald was hired in the nineties by our corporation to train our managers when I was with the Marriott hotel chain. Fifteen years later, now as an owner of two hotels I located him and hired him to conduct a series of customer service, and trust and attitude seminars for all employees, not just managers. For obtaining employee commitment to do one percent better at one thousand things? I haven't seen where you can do better."

"I would not hesitate to recommend you as a speaker to any group or organization. Your keynote address and breakout had a major influence on our conference. Our attendees found it to be thought-provoking, inspiring, and humorous all at the same time. Because a major theme of our conference was 'change', your message helped create an atmosphere for our delegates that smoothed the path to major changes in our organization. In fact you were referenced for the rest of the three-day conference.”

Jeffery Porter

"Mr. Macdonald connected to our audience with with wit and humor as well as insight. As educational office administrators we have a duty to our students and that is the way he feels about his clients. He puts an enormous amount of research into your issues and challenges. We researched his website and spoke with others he has presented to and have recommended him as a speaker to all of our Chapters."
