I was introduced to Rod White by my mentor. As a board member for the Down Syndrome Association of Houston (DSAH), I was looking for public speaking training that would be so effective that it would augment the community's awareness of our mission and vision. Our first "Power of Story" session was phenomenal! Not only did we get amazing tips and practice exercises on how to use storytelling to address every audience we encounter, but it also helped us get to know each other better - it has improved the way we work together too! We have decided to make the "Power of Story" a recurring enrichment training session for all of the leaders in our organization. We have a story to tell, we tell it much better now and it is making a difference for our cause and in the lives of the people whom we impact every day through the services and programs of the DSAH. The "Power of Story" works for any professional, regardless of your background or future goals. You walk out of the workshop being a much better communicator as you consider all aspects of verbal expression, including all senses and body language - key elements for effective communication. Be enriched through the "Power of Story!" The return on your investment will be multiplied! read more

I had the pleasure of attending a class called 'The Power of Story' and was so impressed, that I had to take the time to write a review, so more people could experience what I did. I am a seeker of knowledge and also a facilitator of workshops and classes. I also have had the opportunity to seek out speakers and trainers for small and large events for many years. The reason I say this is, the amount of speakers and trainers who I've been exposed to, gives me the right to say I'm an expert at reviewing them. I have taken classes from Rod and I have also heard him speak on many occasions and I must say, that he is one of the BEST at communicating and teaching his audience and students. Rod continues to be a positive influence on my business and any group that he is associated with. He's responsible for building my confidence and is a source of inspiration and resources. I highly recommend Rod and RW & Associates to business owners and entrepreneurs looking to grow their business effectively and have fun while doing it. Marian LaSalle Houston, Texas read more
