To experience a program by such a gifted teller of tales is a gift in and of itself. Kling delivers humorous as well as tender stories which nearly everyone can relate to and could be just the encouragement other potential authors or storytellers may need to share their creativity and talents. His autobiographical tales are as enchanting as they are true to life and he has a way of inspiring people and bringing them together. This type of program can foster such a positive spirit in a community. Participant evaluations and anecdotal responses will be collected.
Kevin Kling is one of the BEST when it comes to storytelling! His stories are so relative to everyday life and inspiring for young and old alike. The audience was enamored with all he shared and Kling added more time to the program because the audience was so engaged and responsive. For weeks after the program, we received many positive comments and requests to have Kevin Kling come again. Here are a few comments from attendees:
"Excellent!"
"One of the best programs--Ever!!"
"I enjoyed the stories--he reminded us the importance of saving and savoring our memories."
"Laughter is good--even when life "sucks"!"
"Look for blessings! "Thank You!" works"
"Humor is necessary for storytelling."
"He helps you to appreciate the small things in life!"
"I absolutely loved it! Kevin is a great guy."
"Very fun--wonderful speaker--enjoyed very much!"
