     "...I am the Transportation Director for a large Texas school district that transports over 36,000 students per day. Because of the difficulty that our school bus drivers face on a daily basis, we are constantly looking for ways to enable them to do a better job. We recently brought Jack Overfield in to do a presentation to all of our employees (bus drivers, mechanics, attendants and office staff).  I am delighted to tell you that the entire staff found his presentation on "attention and concentration" to be interesting, thought provoking and informative. 
     The information that he shared with them enabled them to better understand how people pay attention and how distractions can threaten everyone's safety when in traffic. Although we specifically wanted something for school bus drivers, I can see how the concepts he shares with the audience could apply to anyone who needs a high level of concentration on their job. I think any group of employees would find this to be interesting and helpful. Jack's program has my full endorsement and unqualified recommendation."

     "I've heard nothing but great comments about your presentation. It was as you labeled it...interesting, fun and useful. You kept their attention throughout the presentation..."
Mark Krueger, Assistant Superintendent, Humble Independent School District, Texas, 2007
 
     "This note is to encourage transportation departments to include Jack Overfield in the planning of your upcoming event! Jack uses a thought provoking approach to how we can "tune in" and focus our mental attention to increase our productivity. With so many distractions on the roads that our drivers are on each day, and in the daily activities of our busy office staffs, Jack's presentation will let your staff "step back" and take a look at where they fit in the levels of concentration expected from all of us. His activities will surprise even the most comfortable optimist in the room, when they see that their "sharpness" can be sharpened!"
Rob Schmedeke, President, Colorado State Pupil Transportation Association, 2008
