From the Audience

"I heard Jules speak twice in 2005. Most recently I heard him speak for two hours to 60 members of this BOCES staff. Dr. Burgevin's presentation impacted his audience intellectually and emotionally. His knowledge of the adjustments people will make as they approach retirement is really amazing. In his fascinating presentation he provided examples from his own experiences which enlightened, informed and delighted the participants. Evaluations of his presentation were outstanding. I believe that hearing him speak will change the way you think about your life."

"Your segment of our program on 'Adjusting To Retirement,' which you've presented throughout New York State for sixteen years (1993 to 2009), has helped thousands of our members to see the importance of looking at retirement in ways which go beyond financial considerations. These include the emotional adjustments retirees face, dealing with change and stress, and the power a person's thoughts, attitudes and self-image have in achieving a meaningful retirement. You are a gifted public speaker who brings a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm and expertise to your presentation. Surveys of our seminar attendees show an overwhelmingly positive response to your message. I have no doubt that you speak knowledgeably on many diverse topics to groups large and small and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone interested in your services."
