“Ron, you were a major hit! You have so much insight into the invention process, companies and how idea are taken to market. Several of the students have mentioned to me how much they enjoyed hearing from you. I am glad you’ll come back, because I hope to teach the course annually.” ---Cynthia Wagner Weick- Interim Dean, School of International Studies, Director Powell Scholars Program, University of the Pacific


"The event exceeded my expectations, because I did not expect to reduce time while reducing effort.  It is amazing what can be accomplished if we change the way we think.  This event should be part of any training program, because you can apply these principles to everything we do.  This training changed my perspective of looking at things and showed me the true meaning of teamwork.  Your class was a wonderful experience."  -- Hiram Ayala, Production Supervisor , Major Bottling Company






































“Hey Ron, I could have used your help to ‘reduce my effort’ way up here.”
