Testimonials from Government Agencies and Groups
“Rik Roberts presented to our group the “Mayberry Method”. He was very well received by all level of employees. Not one person, in the audience of 190, lost interest during the 90 minutes he “entertained” and educated our group. We even had an added bonus of unexpected interaction of an official Kansas Highway Patrol Officer that assisted in his great message of how to react/respond when in an unusual or difficult situation. Many employees have requested to have him back again!
– Cindy Volanti, Riley County Kansas Clerks
“My attendees loved Rik Roberts! He was funny, entertaining and motivational—everyone had some great laughs. Rik was perfect for our conference.”
– Harriet Loyd, Texas County and District Retirement Systems
“We recently hired Rik Roberts to speak to our 120 full time staff. He was not only hilarious, but was able to get 100% participation in the team building activities (something that we have not mastered). His presentation was clean, yet still funny for our multi-generational group. We highly recommend him for any group looking for a good laugh coupled with actionable take aways.”
– Ellen Comella. City of Peoria, AZ
