"Recently, I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Dr. Michael McGee, a renowned expert on addiction science, and discussed with him whether he'd be interested in educating a group of judges on the science of addiction. After having an engaging dinner with Dr. McGee, I knew I had found the right individual to speak to our group. Dr. McGee spent two hours educating and interacting in an engaging manner through the use of humor and his extensive knowledge of addiction. I highly recommend Dr. McGee to your group. "
"I really enjoyed your training on therapeutic communication and interpersonal relationships. I have worked in this field for a few years, and I am always striving to improve my communication skills with patients and coworkers. I appreciated the emphasis you placed on this being a lifelong skill that takes time to develop and that we will make mistakes, but we can take those mistakes and learn from them. This training helped to remind me of the need to practice self-compassion and self-care, so that I can practice empathy. I think you said it best when you stated, you've got to be good to be good.
Thank you!"

My name is Anthony Ortega and I am the Chief of Social Work at Patton. I just wanted to reach out to you and personally thank you for the great presentation yesterday.
