SOME COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS
Elbert Hubbard wrote – “Art is the beautiful way of doing anything”. Frank Julie’s Leadership Seminar is ‘Art’ for that very reason. I found his content stimulating and intensely practical – a by-product of his own successful, ‘hands-on’ background. As a fellow Trainer, I applaud his easy, “nobody-gets-hurt”, fully participatory presentation. Visibly – Frank is driven by his love for people, which accounts for his passion to share his wealth of knowledge and empirical experience – a task he achieves for his happy participants with measurable effect. (Len Stevens – Author/Presenter – the “ãGRID Training Method”.)
I wish to share with you how inspirational I found your workshop. You are certainly a very informed man, a subject matter expert, who demonstrates great compassion for others. I gained such a huge amount of insight and perspective… that I had struggled to find in the past two years. I experienced it as seemingly lacking in clarity, structure and synthesis as a whole. Suddenly here it all was in one book and on one course. How can I ever thank you enough!

The CCFM workshop, regarding NPOs was run by the most professional people you can find. Both Ric and Ricardo were outstanding speakers on the subject and they are worth listening to. I would love to have them on my team. They are enthusiastic and vibrant and always willing to help. The NPO workshop at CCFM was worth every penny.
