"Dwight is very conscience of the modern day reality that powerful messages need to be conveyed quickly and impactfully. He has spoken to my employees twice in the past year. Both presentations - one on customer care, the other on thinking out-of-the-box - were 30 minutes or less. In each case he used his vast mental inventory of interesting and relevant stories, quotations and examples to highlight the high performance lessons."

- Daniel S. Parsley; Chairman & CEO; SalvageSale, Inc.; Houston, Texas.

 "What a huge impact you had on my students. You truly got their attention and they now understand the importance of finding their extraordinary dream and how to make it come true. In one short class period you helped them put into perspective what is really important in life. What a clever and creative way to describe the course of life using 'A Tale of Three Ships.' Although it is a short book, it is packed with tons of eye-opening ideas and thoughts."

Kathy Mason; Klein Forest High School; Business COOP Coordinator.

"Dwight's 'Six Pillars of Life' has been the foundation for our players' approach to life, college, and athletics. I highly recommend Dwight to any team or group wanting to build team chemistry, values, and work ethic."

   “I always look forward to receiving and reading the “High Octane for the Mind” emails. Dwight Edward’s entertaining messages help put in perspective any challenges I am facing and they often provide me inspiration to set new goals. Being reminded of Dwight’s important core concepts on a consistent basis has a positive practical impact on my day-to day productivity.”

  “As a teacher, each day begins with a jolt, most of which are unexpected and unplanned...whether it's students coming in with questions at morning tutorial, an emotional 'crisis' that teenagers seem to have on regular basis, a disgruntled parent, etc... I never know what to expect when I turn on my computer to check the morning emails, but I do know that when I see "High Octane for the Mind", my pulse begins to calm and I let everything else drop aside for those few minutes. High Octane definitely helps set a tone of peace for me and helps me to get life in perspective. Not only does it impact me for the time I am reading, but I find myself reflecting on the thoughts presented throughout the day. I'm grateful to be in the loop.”  

Diana Keinz – teacher, Kincaid School, Houston, Tx.

  “I'm a Vice President for a mid-sized oilfield services firm. We have12,000 employees in 300 locations in 75 countries around the world, andwe're subject to the intense quarterly pressures on earnings coming from Wall Street on all public companies. My area of responsibility isQuality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE). I'vefound "High Octane for the Mind" a rich source of material to help meconvince our managers to strive for their best in all areas of our

business including Quality and HSE, not just the financial side. At a very low cost,it's 'value for money' at its highest. I can recommend "High Octane for the Mind" without reservation.”
