Ted Murray, Human Resources Manager,
Barrett Burston Malting

“The feedback from our management team was that Crocodiles not Waterlilies scored a mjor hit, in that the program reminded and reinforced existing knowledge yet added depth through novel and deceptively7 simple methods that were easy to accept and understand.”
Warner Bastian, Managing Director,
Guild Commercial Ltd

“…a complete success last weekend .. The entire sales team … and their partners have not stopped raving about their experiences gained during the course and we are now conversing in a completely new language. … I can remember all 38 principles without any problem – something I find quite incredible (having been on many courses and not able to remember anything after one day!)”
Alistair Barkhouse, Regional Sales Manager
Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals

“… I have been particularly impressed with the way in which participants in “crocodiles” have remembered the principles they were taught, and with how profoundly it has touched their lives.  Each one has a story to tell about how their behaviour changed for the better as a result of the course.  Often, the emphasis seems to be that they have begun to act rather than react in circumstances where they previously felt out of control.”
Grant Owens, Human Resources Manager,
National Australia Bank

US Corporate Client Testimonials

“Dear Roger:
I am writing this letter to express my appreciation for the time and effort you put into helping us at Quality Craft Wood Works rise to a higher level of awareness and understanding. I have never attended such a class where a greater amount of personal attention was given to each of the attendees or where such a broad array of pertinent information was given in such a short amount of time. All of those who attended your classes have expressed a great amount of satisfaction with what they received and have felt that it has had a profound influence, not only on how they approach issues that present themselves in the workplace, but in their personal relationships and everyday lives. There were some who felt the experience was life altering and consider themselves to never be the same again. Many outside of those who attended have been favorably affected also, through your unique interactive memory retention program. Its positive affects have been felt far and wide.

We know that what has motivated you to present this program has been more than money for we have all felt your love and your personal desire to see each of us succeed.  If there is any company who desires to promote a greater amount of teamwork and integrity within its workforce, or any individual who desire to have more tools at his disposal when working with the challenges of life, I would without reservation, recommend the Crocodiles not Waterlilies coarse.

Sincerely,
Marvin L Allred
President, Quality Craft Woodworks

“Roger is a dynamic and informed speaker whose integrity and enthusiasm are immediately obvious.  Unlike many motivational speakers, Roger does not resort to a cheerleading mentality, but instead calls upon the very leadership skills he is teaching about to underpin his presentation.  Furthermore, he moves his audience to consider not management but true (servant) leadership.”
Helen Cox, Division Chair of Humanities,
Salt Lake Community College,

“As a Leadership Development Training experience, I am pleased that so many of our staff are applying its principles in different aspects of their duties.  Probably the most noticeable outcome is how it is affecting their working relationships.  They have developed the confidence at being able to communicate, plan, problem-solve and process without the usual resistance and skepticism.  I contribute this, in part, to their experience with your training program.  Because the staff are better able to negotiate the territory of relationships with each other, they are also demonstrating more patience and compassion with the youth that we care for.  … it has allowed a very diverse group of people to come together and really feel that they are a part of a team that is doing something significant.”
Jerry Spanos, CEO
Heritage Schools

Personal Testimonials – unsolicited

“I have a croc-win to share that I think you’ll enjoy.  Over the past month or so I have often treid, unsuccessfully, to pull together a business overview for my project.  It’s been difficult because my initial vision was so vague in some ways, yet compellingly vivid at the same time.  Thanks to Roger’s training …, I finally was able to sit down and put together an overview draft that really reflects the essence of my vision.  I was feeling good about this, and for the fun of it, I opened Roger’s ‘Now I Understand’ book. … How fun to get such wonderful confirmation from your book, Roger.  Thank you so much for devoting myself to the creation of ROMPA and his friends.”
L Nowlen

“At the start of the course I honestly thought, you’re 52, you’re too old to change – WRONG!! I have learnt so much from you, and now will make the commitment to change a lot of the very wrong attitudes I have carried around for years.  The application of your principles in my professional life will make a difference in my productivity, but also, and I think more importantly, in the home life –“
Y Aldridge

“Roger, for the first time in my life, I can really feel the changes happening.  My thinking is more positive and I am procrastinating less, and doing more.  With the help of ‘Bolper’ sitting on my shoulder, I continue to surprise myself at what I have been able to achieve.  Other people are noticing the changes as well.  My recall of the principles comes easily, along with a higher level of awareness – it’s just amazing.  Being able to talk the language of Crocodiles at home as well has been fantastic.  We can now talk about things from a whole new perspective.  I can see that (my spouse) has also reached a greater level of awareness and says that he feels a lot more at peace with himself and in control in times of stress.  As for our daughter, I look forward to bringing her up in the way of the Crocodile.  It’s something both John and I feel very passionate about.  We would love to see EVERY child learn and growth within the principles of CNW.”
M &  J Kukura

“For at least a year now my life has been a roller coaster of the very best and the very worst.  I have been at the depth of despair for several months now and your program seemed to come when I needed the strength the most.  I was to the point in my life that I had a suicide plan and the method to accomplish it and I felt like that was the only thing I might ever be successful at. … Luckily for me, the first session of Crocodiles Not Waterlilies took place just before my (planned suicide) date.  … The ladder I am using to get out of that pit is CROCODILES and the rungs are beginning to be covered with a little grit to help me along the upward journey.  It isn’t always easy, it’s simple but it’s not easy.  Thank you … I really, truly believe in this program with all my heart.”

“Just a quick note to let you know how much attending the Crocodiles not Waterlilies course has impacted my life.  I recently went through a marriage breakdown and was at probably one of the lowest points of my life.  Attending your course has had a significant effect on my outlook and the value I now place on myself and the way in which I view life.  I have attended many similar courses .. but they all have one thing in common.  That is, that, after time the principles are forgotten and ultimately not acted upon. … It has been 3 months … yet yesterday I easily recalled 34 of the 38 principles.  WOW!!  I now have blueprint to live my life by.”
A Bennetts

“I have been given the opportunity to attend many courses both in sales and self improvement.  Infact, I have probably become somewhat skeptical about the value of this events.  When asked to attend this course, I must admit I had mixed feelings.  … Crocodiles Not Waterlies would be the BEST course I have ever attended as it was ‘simple’ in approach and focus.  Roger Anthony was brilliant – he is a very genuine man who infects all around him by his honesty and enthusiasm.”
