Testimonials
As Manager of TI’s Ethics, Communication and Education Department, I attended Nan’s class for our 500 administrative professionals. I was prepared to clear my throat loudly, and do more than that, if I heard anything contrary to TI’s philosophy of business. Instead, I was just as riveted as the rest of the audience. There was no bland theorizing or exhortation to do good or feel good. Everyone immediately accepted Nan as one of us and enjoyed (and benefited) from the day.

How could I EVER thank you for your talent? You were without a doubt the best presenter we had and the comments on the participant evaluations and in conversations support me in saying that. Besides your topic, your interpersonal skills make people feel important and appreciated and understood. You are truly gifted and I appreciate you and what you did for our conference so much.

Nan DeMars started talking about personal and professional ethics long before it became fashionable. Her advice is practical and right on target. No wonder she’s a sought-after speaker, columnist and ethics guru. She’s earned it!
