"Describing the performance Lt. Col. Jason Harris in front of an audience in one word would be easy, except for the competing appropriate words: dynamic, inspirational, credible, and energizing make the final four. Lt. Col. Harris doesn't just highlight the importance of every role within the organization, he emphasizes the importance of every person in the organizational hierarchy placing full trust in each and every role, and his credentials and experience bring that message home. Hearing Lt. Col. Jason Harris speak will be a benefit to any organization of any size, in any stage of development. I personally thank him for his service and for sharing his expertise."
