Career Conference Testimonials

Thank you so very much for allowing our business department chair and me to participate in your baby boomer conference. It was all that those who offered testimonials said and more. I have not yet met with our foundation director about the conference; she is busy learning the new software that will enable her to build that database. Once she gets rolling, I’ll be back in touch with you about possibly setting up our NCHEA (North County Higher Education Alliance) conference. My best to you and your fantastic staff. Thanks, again. Donna Davis, Mira Costa College

I attended the conference recently held at Occidental College. Overall, the program is high quality. It is well constructed and well attended by individuals within our core target market (educated, boomers, income level, etc). It is geared toward boomers in career transition (both voluntary and involuntary) and provides access to potential employers as well as to speakers on a variety of career transition topics (finding your passion, communication skills, networking skills, etc). Karina Istvan, Lincoln Financial

The seasonedPRO Baby Boomer Career conference held on September 17, 2005 was a tremendous success, resulting in increased visibility with our alumni. Their services afforded us an opportunity to provide a high quality and unique conference that we could not have provided within our own financial resources. SeasonedPRO’s conference marketing plan, ability to access nationally known speakers, and unique program design, resulted in a great turnout of alumni and Baby Boomers from the community. Susan Schroeder, OBA Board Member

I’ve met candidates who have good management and sales experience as well as good team building backgrounds. Not to mention that they are all experienced at working in a corporate environment. I would definitely recommend this conference to other employers. Christine Folz, VP HR, Wells Fargo Bank

We've talked to several qualified applicants for several of our civilian positions ranging from Directors, Staff Nurse, Technical Assistance and various other civilian jobs. Deputy Sharon Clayton, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Departments Recruiting Unit

What a great seminar you organized with the UCLA Anderson School of Management. The Baby Boomer conference is needed not just in California, but everywhere. Feel free to contact me at my web site http://www.seniorsuccess.net. It’s a great source of mid-life success stories. Bill Vick, Senior Partner, Ternosky & Vick Executive Search

Congratulations on the Baby Boomer Career Event! The entire day was well planned and executed, and I got a lot of good information from each of the morning speakers and from speakers for the two workshops I attended in the afternoon.

It is obvious that you put a lot of thought, expertise and energy into producing this event and I'm sure that every person attending got great benefit from your efforts. Thank you for your dedication to one of the most important areas of one's life. All good wishes for your continued success. Sincerely, Linda J. Loe

All the work you put into it translated into substantive information that I can put to use immediately. And, as for the roster of speakers -- what a wonderfully knowledgeable and eclectic group of professionals. Each speaker had a unique perspective, but there was some advice that was universal (e.g. know yourself, create a mission statement). Now I have to knuckle down and start to implement their advice.

Thanks for having the vision to coordinate this program. I'd certainly be interested in anything else with a similar theme. Eileen Salmas

It was a pleasure to meet with you and to present at your conference. Congratulations on a successful event! I had dinner with Patty last night and she was happy that it went well and apologized for not being able to come because of the gathering she was hosting last night.

As promised I am sending a brief synopsis of the points in my presentation in the attached doc. Please let me know if you need anything else and I look forward to future collaborations with you. Stay well and thanks again. Marilyn Tam

You did a magnificent job putting together an event that was interesting, informative and meaningful. Whew!!! I know the amount of time - hours and hours of it - and effort and energy that it takes to make this happen. Thanks, it was worth it. I learned a lot on Saturday - some unexpected lessons as well - mostly about me. (I promise, I'm not really as ego-maniacal as that must sound ... but that's a conversation for another time) Anyway, personally (for sure) and professionally (one can hope) it was a great day. Thanks, again. Lauren Price

I enjoyed your presentations very much. You have a natural and commanding style and presence, and I sensed that we really "saw" who you are up there. I heard many people say similar things about you, so you should know that you were a big hit. Thank you for your role in bringing this event to life. I am a life and career coach and I'm putting together a workshop for a small group of "B" school grads from an eastern university. I learned a lot from the wonderful day you created, and that means that I will serve my clients better using some of the new information I gathered. Your reach extends beyond those who were at UCLA last Saturday. Nancy Weil Brown, MA, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach

Thank you for all that you did before, during and now, after, for last Saturday's event. The holistic approach made it an energetic, informative, encouraging and reality-checking forum. I hope there will be future events in a similar vein. I was definitely in the 82% who ranked it high. I am currently in a job-prospecting mode, due to position elimination, and a real neophyte with respect to the web so your follow up message with all of the niche sites is invaluable to me. Best regards, Vera Mae Walsh

I actually am indebted to the Baby Boomer Conference. I attended the event this year, and that's where I met up with Ron Elsdon. Ron introduced me to you, and as they say . . . the rest is history! Count me in. Michael Thompson

You and your team did an incredible job in organizing this conference! I enjoyed it tremendously. Hope to see you again soon. Take care, Louise Wong

Please keep me on your list for future events such as this, and I look forward to staying in contact with you. If you ever think I might be able to contribute something, from the headhunter/career coach perspective from which I operate, please let me know. All the best, Darrell W. Gurney, Career Energizer and Author of “Headhunters Revealed!”

Thanks to you and your committee for putting together such a useful and thought provoking program. I enjoyed the day immensely, even though I'm a Florida State University grad! (M.S. 1978) This was actually my first time on the UCLA campus. All the best, Gail Brzeski

The day at the UCLA Alumni Career Conference for "Boomers" was very valuable, and I learned some new ideas and validated some old and useful techniques. I thank you for your kindness and for sharing valuable ideas. Richard Mann, Adjunct Faculty, Pepperdine University

I really enjoyed the conference, hope it was a success for you. Many thanks for a very enlightening conference. Best, Gail McClellan, Executive Director, Affiliate Administration

VERY well done!!! I was only able to stay for the first half of the day, but I was very impressed by the energy and (despite being a few years shy of the Boomer Generation) I really enjoyed the presentations and networking. Scott I. Pollack

It was a pleasure to meet you on Saturday. I greatly enjoyed the day, the speakers, and the many new people I met. All the best, Carole Hodges

I thoroughly enjoyed the Baby Boomer event last Saturday. Cecilia Acero, Conference Attendee

Thanks for arranging such a wonderful event. Thanks again, Paresh Davda

The Baby Boomer Career Conference at Occidental College was excellent. Plenty of useful information, presented by experienced professionals who have succeeded in transitions of their own. Larry Owens, Paramount Pictures
