Mr. Copeland,

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your workshop at the Urban League on last week.  You gave some good information, and made me take a look my attitude towards work and people. I was so enamoured with what I learned, I have been using my notes from the workshop to coach my employees. I just regret that I did not get the opportunity to attend all of last week's sessions. As you continue to spread your gift of empowerment, remember that you are making a difference in the lives of those who are lucky enough to be in one of your sessions. Thanks for the encouragement!

“Energizing” and “inspiring” are words audiences use to describe Columbus Copeland’s Empowerment Workshops.  Beyond theory and straight to action planning and goal setting is what his messages motivate listeners to do.

"I attended Mr. Copeland's seminar on 'The Seven Steps to Making it Happen.' I walked out of there with a new sense of worth and a plan to make it all happen. His approach is unique because he has lived it, so he knows first-hand how to make it work!"

"I was having trouble in school with the other kids bullying me. A friend of my Aunt's gave me Mr. Copeland's book 'What is so Funny About Teasing?' and it changed my life. This book opened my eyes and empowered me to stand on my own two feet. I'm not afraid to go to school anymore and I have a new outlook on life."
