Testimonials

Thank YOU for bringing so much energy and life to the conference…you were definitely a great addition (and a pleasure to work with)!

— Beth Solomon, Conference Specialist, CFO Conferences

Thank you for the excellent, professional job you did on Sunday morning. You were great!

— Mike Veall, President, Canadian Economics Association (and conference Program Chair)

Thanks so much for joining us for Financial Literacy Week. You did a fabulous job, were a pleasure to work with, and it was a great way to highlight the week’s events as our keynote.

— Jacki Brossman-Ashorn, Assistant Director, Student Money Management Center, Sam Houston State University

The feedback about you at our Senior Staff Meeting was uniformly outstanding. Who knew that economists—or at least one economist—could be funny (while still knowing a thing or two about economics). Well done!

— Paul E. Greenberg, Managing Principal, Analysis Group, Inc.

We LOVED you. And even more importantly, our participants laughed while thinking. What a combo! It was important to us that we brought a sense of humor, wit and grace to our symposium. You helped us handily achieve this goal.

— Dan Dixon, Vice President, External Affairs, Swedish Medical Center

Yoram Bauman was the keynote speaker at the banquet of the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce annual Leadership Convention held in Sun Valley. The conference was attended by business, community and political leaders from Idaho’s Boise Valley. Yoram was thoroughly entertaining, and kept the audience laughing, but buried in the humor were a series of pretty impressive observations about the economy, finance and the business world. This is really a “must” for any serious business meeting where there is a need to mix in a bit of thoughtful entertainment.

— Bill Russell, Associate Dean, NNU School of Business

On behalf of the Law Librarians of Puget Sound I’d like to thank you for your sterling performance at our spring professional development workshop last week. You have a gift—or maybe a couple of gifts: both humor and teaching. You treat the audience members as if they might indeed know what a Laffer Curve is, and that’s a treat. Choices are good when they result in as fine a presentation as yours. I’d even trade three Snickers bars for it!

— Mary Whisner, Reference Librarian

GMAC Financial Services audit division recently had the opportunity to contract Yoram Bauman, the one and only Stand-Up Economist, during our auditor conference held in Boston. It’s a very diverse, young corporate dynamic group. The level of energy and entertainment Yoram was able to bring to the meeting was invaluable. His high energy, enthusiasm and excitement for Economics incorporating humor was a perfect Keynote presentation for our participants.

Thank you so much for coming to our school! I have heard so many great comments from the students and administration – it was a highlight of the year. I even overheard that one student was contemplating econ as a future career path based on Friday’s experience.
