Client reviews

  • Our CSHP Banff Seminar was a tremendous success! We essentially sold out—our highest attendance in the past 6 years, which definitely was in part secondary to Professor Caulfield. He was excellent—his presentation was very well received. He killed it—he had people fully engaged and laughing throughout his whole presentation, which is difficult to do at 8am on a Saturday. After the session, he graciously took pictures with attendees and signed books, which was an extra hour of his time—we really appreciated his flexibility. He was a true professional through the whole process.

  • Everyone loved him, he was great!

     

  • Timothy was really fantastic. It was a fun, relatable, and informative presentation.
