I can honestly state that I have never enjoyed any type of training session like I did on Tuesday. I learned so much and still know that I have much more to learn. Already I am looking at news broadcasts differently.

Tonight will be my fourth reading of the notebook you gave us. I have been "winging" it and it was so great to hear from an expert on the do's and don'ts.

Peter, I really respect your knowledge of this business. I can not believe how much I learned from you in one day in New York and I would have given anything o have  had it last longer.

Just last week, while doing three live TV shows - as I sat

in the chair across from the host, I (as I always do) immediately thought ... Remember what Peter taught you". About a month ago, I did a three hour Dateline NBC interview and you can not believe how many times "Remember what Peter taught you" popped up in my mind.

Peter,

We finished the test in SW Georgia the end of 2004. Everything went well.

The media training provided by you and Doris was invaluable to all of us, and clearly a good part of the success we had with the media can be directly attributed to training you all provided.

Our hospital system has used Peter Restivo and his group for over a decade. Peter is a former producer of Good Morning America and  one of the best media trainers in the nation.

In small groups, 5-7 people, we have brought him in on a half a dozen occasions when we faced storm clouds. His work in helping prepare for impending press inquiries is second to none.

Our work is primarily print. The techniques Peter uses most are TV and radio format, but the practice and exercises transfer over to print media challenges as well.

 I have experienced media training at several national hospital PR events over the years. Peter is the best beyond a shadow of a doubt.

We also have found that his background briefing on the media, what makes them tick, what they are looking for and how to survive curve balls has been invaluable to me in educating our Board and executive  team, as well as many physicians that we "groom" to take center stage - whether it's about the nursing shortage, quality scores, or other challenges.

As a client, I love the fact that Restivo is available for telephone consult in tough press situations. Often over these years, I'll need his guidance and experience to help us deal with a major press issue.

Everyone found the workshop very instructional and useful, if not  enjoyable.

Everyone was very positive on the workshop and appreciate all the work you put into it.  Not just media coaching but a real intellectual look at our business.
