Are Saying | Comments from Past Program Participants:
Dear Bob,
On behalf of the Credit Unions of the Finger Lakes
District, I would like to extend our appreciation for
the motivation “humor” workshop. I have been overwhelmed
the past few days with great comments from everyone. In
this busy world, it is often forgotten to step back and
smile or laugh. I think everyone realized that at your
presentation and for that I would like to say “Thank
You!”

excellent instructor (the best yet!) and a great person.
He took the time to really get to know us, and related
the material to what we are experiencing in the
workplace."

Hi Dr. Bitting,
When I first viewed this Generational Diversity program
I was very skeptical of it; whereas, I've been to some
presentations on the subject where the presenter
couldn't teach a stick to stand in the mud.
However, and as I've told Kate and others up the tree,
it was one of the most excellent programs I've been to
that cover Generational Diversity, in fact, I thought it
was beyond excellent, greatly presented, and a program
that made you think + review your values.
Thank you,
Gary T. Dovey

Dear Bob,
I just wanted to express my appreciation for the
excellent supervisory and management seminar sessions
that you conducted for our people. The feedback I have
received from people has been all good…in fact, I have
not received one negative response. That’s saying a lot
coming from this group of engineers and technical types,
who are usually quick to criticize. The interactive
nature of your presentations was well received by both
groups and distinguished your sessions from other
“vanilla” supervisory seminar. You were able to hold
their attention the entire time indicating to me that
your material was right on target.
Again, thank you for an excellent presentation!

Dear Bob,
The great advantage in speaking the same evening we
conduct our program survey is that we get an “instant
reaction”, and yours was right at the top. They loved
you!
This can’t be a surprise to you, considering the high
degree of participation (read: noise level). Interactive
programs always go well, and when we’re hearing a lot of
laughter besides, we know we’ve got a winner!

Dear Bob:
You’ve done it again!
It is a rare treat to be on the receiving end of so much
good information when it’s being conveyed with such
humor and intelligence. You have a gift of involving
your audience as full participants, and our members love
it!
Gratefully,
Barbara Norton

Olean Area Industrial Management Council
Dear Bob,
Thank you very much for the outstanding service you
provided our agency at our recent retreat. Your
presentations on “Change and Humor in the Workplace” and
Effective Leadership” were extremely effective as well
as very entertaining. Your interactive and humorous
presentation style was really appreciated by our 100+
employees. We look forward to bringing you back for
future agency workshops and trainings!

Dear Bob,
Thank you for the excellent workshop you presented for
us earlier this week on “Building More Effective Teams”.
I think I speak for everyone who attended that it was
stimulating, interesting, and a lot of fun. Each of us
there gained insight about working better with others. I
appreciate the special effort you put into making those
three mornings a rewarding experience.

Hi Bob –
You did a wonderful job presenting your program to
Student Affairs yesterday. I have heard nothing but
praise. The comment I felt best about came from Paul
Kingsbury, our Director of Greek Affairs. On Tuesday
night as we were leaving work, I reminded him of your
program the next morning. He made an ugly face and said
that he wished he didn’t have to go (his job has been
extremely stressful lately). I told him that was exactly
why he HAD to go.
After we returned yesterday morning, I asked Paul what
he thought of the program and he replied, “It was
exactly what I needed! It was terrific!”
So, Bob – here’s to a job well done and mission
accomplished!

Bob, I just
wanted to thank you for speaking to our staff this
morning. I have had the pleasure of hearing you at a
secretarial seminar several years ago and then again
recently at a professional administrator’s event. You
never disappoint!
I shared with our committee your unique way of making
learning absolutely enjoyable, and that it was going to
make for a great morning.
I short, thanks again. I needed that boost of energy!

Dear Bob,
I would like to personally thank you for the
presentation on time management and effective
communications you delivered to the Cuba Memorial
Hospital management/supervisory team this past week. The
program was extremely well received by all whom I spoke
to following the session and since. As healthcare
providers, we sometimes get bogged down in the day to
day emergencies that this very unpredictable profession
can present, but you gave us many worthwhile tips and
strategies to better portion this precious commodity we
call time.
Another important part of the presentation was the
“Humor in the Workplace” session. It is too bad that we
sometimes take ourselves so seriously that there is no
room left for the very humorous side of being human.
This was quite a laugh-filled part of your presentation,
but of significant value.
I look forward to working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Andrew Boser, III
CEO, Cuba Memorial Hospital
Dr. Bitting,
Thank you for enhancing the leadership and communication
skills of Allegany Arc’s management staff. Your recent
presentations on Motivation and Change in the Workplace,
Interactive Communication Skills, and Effective
Leadership had a genuine impact on those who attended
the sessions.
Your presentations were filled with a variety of
training techniques that enabled active participation
and learning. Your style incorporated humor that gave
the material a lightness that is so necessary for what
often seems like heavy subjects to discuss. When humor
is used to discuss leadership, change, and
communication, it gives us all an opportunity to
recognize the quality that we all share – that we are
human.
Thanks for a job well done!
Betsy Obuhanich
Staff Development Coordinator

Comments from teachers and
educational paraprofessionals from the New York City
area who are in Alfred University’s Downstate Counseling
Program following taking Dr. Bitting's Career
Development and Life Planning course summer of
2007:
"Never let anyone but Dr. Bob (Mr. Feel Good) teach this
course!"
"Dr. Bitting's energy and enthusiasm made the information
come to life - he was awesome!"
"Dr. Bitting is a wonderful professor and a great
teacher! It was a
pleasure working with him."
"Dr. Bitting is very flexible, understanding, and
enthusiastic - he really taught me the key elements of
being being an effective career counselor."
"Dr. Bitting is really student-centered. He knows how to
get everyone involved and working together."
Dear Dr. Bitting,
I apologize for the tardiness of this letter however, I
just wanted to take a moment to say thank you again for
your hospitality.
I have to admit that I was having a hard time adjusting
and feeling a bit overwhelmed at the beginning of our
stay at Alfred. By the end of the week, I viewed our
visit as one of the best experiences I have had
throughout my schooling. Your teaching strategies,
techniques, and knowledge were inspiring and your
accommodating and thoughtful ways were heart warming.
So again, I just want to send thanks for everything.
Sincerely,
Stefania Alvaro
