County of Santa Barbara November 14, 1997 John Patrick Dolan LawTalk Three Point Drive Brea, CA 928213651 Dear Mr. Dolan: I am writing on behalf of the Santa Barbara County Executive Association to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding seminar Negofiate Like the Pros that you presented to our management team last month. Life at work as well as at home seems to involve ongoing negotiations—with our bosses, our peers, our spouses and our kids. Judging from the enthusiastic feedback I have been receiving from the seminar attendees, they have taken their new negotiating skills and techniques and utilized them on a regular basis (and having fun while doing so). Once again, thank you from all 120 of us who attended the seminar which, by all measures, has been the most effective training session we have received in the seven years I have been at the County. Very truly yours, Gary A. Hengstler Editor and Publisher GAH:smw
