    I am interested in obtaining information about the motivational presentations that Eddie Leigh has done recently. I saw the Medical Mystery program, this past week and participate in a health care otganization that may want to consider him as our motivational speaker regarding health care advocacy.

    Can some one contact me to let me know how I might arrange getting more information about his motivational talks.

    Thanks,
