OUR TESTIMONIALS
Wonderful presentation on forgiveness. Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation on forgiveness. Our congregation loved it and were greatly moved by what you shared with us. We were blessed by your gift.
We had overwhelmingly positive responses. Again would like to express our sincere appreciation for your participation in HealthSouth’s Third Annual Stroke Conference. We had overwhelmingly positive responses for the 150 participants regarding your presentation…thought it would be nice to share some:
Dr Cortman was an incredible hour; I could’ve listened to him all day
Dr Cortman-Funny, great useful information
Bring Dr Cortman back!
More time with Dr Cortman!
Dr Cortman-AMAZING-Thanks for your book!
Your gift of ‘straight talk’ as well as humor. Dear Chris, It’s redundant – I know – but I want to thank you for the blessing you’ve been in the life of Trinity church – and in my own life as well. Your gift of ‘straight talk’ as well as humor is able to ‘get thru’ to people some of the real issues they face. I know that happened on Sunday. Wow. Thanks again for your Labor of Love. It really made a difference. Blessings.

…They wanted to spend more time learning from you. Chris, thank you so much for your sharing yesterday. I read through the evaluations and literally, the only negative, was that they wanted to spend more time learning from you. Your interweaving of the information, your stories, and your humor was resoundingly applauded.

You hit a home run with our audience. They were charmed and engaged, but most of all, they seemed to come away with some new information. You have a gift for speaking – it was amazing how you kept everyone laughing yet they were able to get so much information.
