"Jim Zitek was an important and highly appreciated
keynote speaker at our national convention. Our attendees were glued to
theirs seats as he skillfully taught them what they needed to know to interpret
and understand the predictions of economists. Our goal was to
provide our attendees with information that they could use directly in their
business planning and Mr. Zitek more than delivered on that goal."

"Jim, your presentation to the Critical Thinking Club was insightful and provoked considerable thought from the audience. The Turning Point audience response system accentuated audience involvement which is our main objective. Thanks again for a fine job."
--Lee Salisbury

“I enjoyed your session this week on Critical Thinking. You were such a great presenter, and I only wish we’d had a bit more time to go through examples of your conclusion-making process. I have thought about the steps (and my notes) several times upon my return to my desk today and thought you’d like to know you made a difference. Thanks so much for taking the time to come to Atlanta for MPI” (Meeting Professionals International’s Meet Different Conference)

Your presentation on critical thinking, 'Help! the News Is Driving Me Crazy' was a key part of our success. With the use of your cutting-edge Turning Point audience response system, you were able to really engage the group. The results from our on line conference gave you a 93% approval rating. Our conference committee is definitely interested in having you conduct your presentation, 'This Is Not Your Nightly News' at our 2010 annual conference.

“Jim Zitek and his topic of Critical Decision Making was a perfect fit for our Summit Conference. We covered a great deal of material concerning the economy from a variety of presenters – lots of facts and figures. Jim was our last keynote presenter and he tied all of their information together nicely in a package that got our attendees to think about how they hear and evaluate information to draw their own conclusions. Jim referred to the enormous amounts of media we are exposed to and how we seldom if ever hear the whole story, not to mention both sides of the story. He got our attendees to think.”

"Jim Zitek makes sense. His presentation on our annual federal deficits and our nation's mounting debt is both clear and compelling. His message is a call to action now - before this fiscal challenge becomes a real crisis."
