"Gary's presentations are phenomenal and make a big impact on a very personal level. Of course, personal happiness is directly related to pro­fessional happiness. The tools provided are VERY helpful to reference in the future and appealing to all types of learning styles.

Gary is very organized and his passion for people is very evident.  Gary did a four day program that he developed titled ‘Motivation To Movement’  We found Gary to be consistent and pleasant to work with as he tackled obstacles in preparing this program.  Those who attended really responded to his enthusiasm.

Thank You Gary for your outstanding encouraging presentation to the young men in our lodge.  These high risk wards ages 16- 21 are known throughout the facility for being the hardest to reach let alone engage. I’ll never forget the response I received from wards who are usually very resistant.  I was very impressed with his with Gary ’s ability to reach them in such a profound way as well as his passion. The staff present also enjoyed his presentation as well.

"The most important thing that I heard that really got me thinking about how real it is when Mr. Dumas stated "If it's on your mind, it's in your future"  When I get out I believe I can go to a community college to at least get a 2 year degree in business

"What we like most about Gary is his passion for what he does and his natural ability to connect! I really enjoy “Stop and Smell The Roses.” It’s very practical and it opened my eyes to how a person should be treated, as well as what to look for in a soul mate.

Gary’s presentation on “Dress For Success” was a perfect fit for the senior class in particular, especially as we prepare them for the future. As a direct result of Gary’s presentation there were students that instantly became motivated to improve their style of dress to actually dressing for success for the remainder of the year

"In Collections of Encouragement, Gary offers many practical ideas in an engaging and sometimes humorous style, to help his readers move forward in pursuit of success. I heartily recommend Collections of Encouragement to people who need encouragement to change their own lives, and to those who wish to give this encouragement to others

"After participating in the workshop “Stop & Smell The Roses,” I had a reconnection of self being precious and worthy of building and culti­vating great solid relationships with others. You have an opportunity to appreciate the real you and not tolerate or settle for toxic and abusive relationships.

"My younger sister is very ill as a result of the HIV virus. She is currently in rehab. I gave her your book and she feels renewed.   She no longer waits for the doctors to come and get her for her physical treatments, she actually waits for “them” in the physical therapy area.  Her attitude has become so positive and she has become inspired to want to live, laugh and love again!

"What I truly appreciate about Gary’s products and presentations is that he cannot be” pigeon-holed” to just one type of culture or race.  It’s for everyone!  Although Gary’s speaks a lot about what many of us have heard before, he presents in a way that it becomes a fresh reminder that now is the time to GET IT DONE!

"As the mother of a current Mayor of a major city in Northern California, we are only interested in presenting quality presentations and products in our bookstore.  To date we have hosted individuals from Charles Barkley to Robin Givens to Michael Eric Dyson and so many more.  The Underground books discussion and book signing for Gary Dumas was awesome.  He sparked the attention of the audience with an informative, engaging and humorous presentation.  Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and didn't hesitate to purchase his book.  We would love to have Mr. Dumas return to underground books anytime.

"Gary wrote a powerful piece in "Stop and Smell the Roses". This piece is phenomenal, Gary certainly does his part in opening the door to what creates healthy and better relationships.
