Professional Recommendations and Endorsements
The Shamrock Group (recommendation letter):
Within two weeks of his employment in this agency, a once consistently high rate of client absenteeism completely diminished. Poorly motivated and grumbling clients were now sharing with me and my staff their enjoyment of learning about the many facets of chemical dependency disease and recovery. Client and agency staff morale made a sudden shift. A floundering program was remarkably alive and exciting!
The Partnering Group managing partner, Peter M. Eschenburg (recommendation letter):
Greg has helped me to improve my professional relationships most notably through teaching and guidance in the following areas: Personal Clarity... Self-Confidence... Empathy for Others ... Humbleness...
Apple Computer Systems Engineer, David Lang (recommendation letter):
I am happy to say that as a result of working with Mr. McBride I now have a more well-rounded and effective proficiency in dealings with my management and peers at Apple.
St. Mary Magdalen drug awareness program (recommendation letter):
Because he does not moralize, the students have been willing to listen to his presentations.
Our Lady of Fatima School drug and alcohol awareness program (recommendation letter):
I would have no hesitation in recommending Greg McBride's program to a population of school children, I feel certain that the students of Our Lady of Fatima have received valuable information about the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse and are better prepared to say "NO" if the situation arises.
Evergreen Hospital New Father's Group (recommendation letter):
I believe one of Greg's greatest assets to our department is his strong value of family, empowering new parents with knowledge of healthy parenting behaviors, and helping them to recognize repeated generational patterns of "unhealthy parenting"
Evergreen Hospital New Father's Group (evaluation form):
I had a lot to talk about, I was so glad to have a place to go
Elaine Purchase from KOMO for the docu-drama, "Please Stop!" (recommendation letter):
In all of our dealings with Greg, we at KOMO found him to be insightful, flexible and sensitive to our needs. He also possesses an uncommon feel for drama. His share of the success of "Please Stop!" is a large one, indeed.
Ken Purchase from KOMO for the docu-drama, "Please Stop!" (follow-up letter):
...all who worked on the program can be proud of their efforts, and we take this opportunity to thank you, Greg, for contributing your talents.
Holy Family School drug and alcohol awareness program (recommendation letter):
In very little time he built a rapport with all of the students and staff that promoted very sensitive discussions... His easy mannerisms made him very approachable for adults and children.
