                  SPEAKER: WAYNE RIVERS, TESTIMONIALS


"The Family Business Institute's case study presentation of "Meet the Penmaens" was
the most interactive session we have had in five years of programming. Wayne Rivers
provided just the right amounts of direction and dialogue to the process to encourage
audience participation to the fullest. The program was a hit because the business
families in the room embraced the frank and open comments of the Penmaen Family
about the business and each other. And, you could actually see them contemplating the
family dynamics in their own family business as they watched and listened to the
interviews. "Meet the Penmaens" was highly rated by our attendees, and I would
recommend it to other Directors."

                                                           Rich Lasher, Executive Director
                                                           UNC-A Family Business Forum
                                                                 Asheville, North Carolina



                    Praise for Prescriptions for a Healthy Family Business
"This is the most electric read of any book on business I've ever read! My wife, after
reading it, felt she knew me better than at any other point in our 39 years of marriage.
We purchased copies for both of our sons. Both said they finally understood my
business. The book particularly helped me understand myself and the way I do
business and is a must read for other managers in our company. It's front and center in
my personal library from now on!"
                                                                                - Phil Watts
                                                                           B&W Wholesale



"We were happy with Wayne's break-out session on 'Prescriptions for a Healthy Family
Business' at our 2006 Annual Convention. We received comments from attendees that
the session is valuable and helpful whether your business is family-owned or not.
Wayne's staff was easy to work with also."
