It is my pleasure to write this letter in commendation of Mark Gorkin, "The Stress Doc." Mark carefully crafted his presentation to our organization by focusing on a major and timely concern: reorganization and downsizing. Participants were engaged in Mark's unique style of humor, and offered high praise on each area of his evaluation. The only complaint about the program was that it was too short.

Participants especially enjoyed the interactive exercise that Mark facilitated, which allowed them to graphically represent the ways stress affects their lives. This topic aroused great passion, energy, and group cohesiveness, since everyone was experiencing many of the same feelings.

I highly recommend Mark Gorkin as a motivational speaker who truly understands and conveys his message with something we could all use a little more of in our highly stressed lives - HUMOR!!
