Dr. Granat:
I don’t know if you remember me or not. I ordered your CD back in March, early April. My son has been listening to the CDs and we have definitely seen an improvement in his game. He seems more confident and less stressed when things don’t go his way. I am grateful.
I’ve been so pleased with the CD that I recommended it to a co-worker whose son goes to a different high school than mine. His son suffers from the same issues as my son. I was telling him what a difference we have seen in our son’s attitude and performance and he is considering ordering the CD for his son as well.
Thank you again. Cindy Taylor |

Hello Dr. Granat!
I have been using the 2 volume cd for about 3 months now and its awesome what it has done for me. It might be irrelevant, but i race downhill mountain biking and it has helped me achieve a higher level of confidence when coming down the mountain and overcoming obstacles i couldnt before.
I was wondering how much is each personal session and how the appointments are set with you. I'm racing the U.S. Open this year and i'd like some counseling before the event, which is on may 28th. I'd also like some info about your seminars, i live in NJ so i'd like to assist to some of them.
Well Dr., thanks for your time and i hope to hear from you soon!

Dear Jay,
I had while preparing for one of my many sales workshops that I’ve been doing around the country for over 5 years. Normally, I love doing this workshop.
But this time, my client was one of my more difficult clients. Although he’s a great person, he can’t help himself when it comes to micromanaging everything and everybody. He’s overly attached to the demand for perfection which means he wants to rewrite everything. Frankly, he was destroying my workshop, getting me nuts and disrupting my usual self-confidence and healthy aggression!
This is not a good thing for a speaker. I pride myself on being self-confident and taking control of the room when I’m delivering a workshop. It got so bad I debated canceling the workshop and then I remembered one of your segments from the “In the Zone” CD set.
The one that struck me as important at this juncture was the one about imaging myself in front of the fire and drawing the feeling of being a warrior. It returned me to a proper aggressive attitude.
I found the courage to tell the client, “I’ve been doing this workshop for over 5 years to rave reviews the way it is. These same rave reviews are why you hired me. Trust me to do it my way and trust that ultimately it will be best for you, your company.” The way I said it must have connected with him because he immediately apologized and told me to do what I felt was in his best interest.
The workshop that I was dreading turned out to be one of the very best I’ve ever done and his shop is already reaping the benefits of what I taught them. I wanted to share this with you and your other clients.
Thanks for sharing your system for success with me.

Dear Dr. Granat, |
|
It is indeed a pleasure to recommend to all golfers that
they should find time in their everyday schedule to absorb
your method of Sports Psychology. |
|
Your recently produced audio tape: How To Lower Your Golf
Score With Self-Hypnosis and Sport Psychology, is a winner.
Being in the golf industry for more years than I would like
to admit, your presentation brought fresh air to this skeptic's
mind. |
|
The method you elegantly explain, gently directs your mental
acumen into an aura of focused relaxation and the much needed
formula to achieve concentration. The word frustration should
vaporize! |
|
As an instructor, player and businessman of this mysterious
game for many years, I feel fortunate to have been introduced
to your gimmick-free method. Thank you! |
|
|

Sincerely Yours,

RE: Golf Seminar: Lower Your Score in One Hour Using Mental
Techniques |
|
The PaineWebber Wellness Program would like to extend our
thank you for the informative and results-oriented seminar
you provided to our New Jersey employees. |
|
As evaluations indicate, your program was well received,
and exceeded expectations. It was wonderful to have received
such a high number of registrations from a diverse group of
employees. I was even more pleased that 81% of registrants
attended the program, far exceeding industry standards. |
|
Again, thank you for a job well done. We look forward to
working with you again in the future. |

Dear Jay, |
|
Thanks for sending me the audio tape series "How to Lower
Your Golf Score...". When I received your tapes, I was anxious
to give your 7 day program a try. Just before receiving the
tapes, I was mired in an awful slump having just shot 86,
94 and 97 in a row. I was frustrated with my game but fortunately
I have learned from playing golf over the years how mentally
tough this game can be. |
|
So, instead of my usual way of dealing with my slump by banging
golf balls day and night, I decided to just enjoy golf, trust
my swing and allow my unconscious mind work as you advise
in the tapes. Well, I'm pleased to report that after two weeks
of listening to your tapes, I shot consecutive scores of 81
and tied for first in a Pro-Member tournament. |
|
I highly recommend this tape series to anyone who suffers
from time to time with a slump like I endured. Also, anyone
who feels they may not be getting all they could from their
golf potential because of mental mistakes. |
|
I'll keep you posted on my progress. |
|
Yours truly, |
|

| Re: How To Stay Mentally Tough Without Getting
Violent (Emphasis on Sportsmanship) |
| Dear Dr. Granat: |
| Thank you for the super job you did speaking
for us at our annual conference which was attended by more than
600 athletes, athletic directors, coaches, administrators and
officials. |
| Your talk "How To Stay Mentally Tough Without
Getting Violent" was incredibly well received by the one hundred
student-athletes who attended your workshop. |
| The information on "Performance Enhancement,
Sport Psychology and Anger Management" was easy to understand
and very useful. Your evaluations were superb. |
| The audience enjoyed your sense of humor
and your highly interactive presentation. Athletes learned how
to play better and how to manage their emotions in an effective
manner. |
| I can gladly recommend you as an outstanding
speaker and I hope that you will be a presenter for NJSIAA again
in the near future. |
| Keep up the fine work! |
| Sincerely yours, |

| Dear Dr. Granat, |
| Thank you for your excellent and most informative
presentation on Ericksonian hypnosis. I know that the knowledge
our participants were able to reap from your presentation will
be a most valuable asset for them in their future endeavors.
Most especially enjoyed were your demonstrations utilizing hypnotic
phenomena and its relationship to athletes. You received high
praise from all the participants. |
| I would highly recommend you to any institute
or organization seeking to obtain knowledge about improving
or attaining peak performance through hypnosis. |
| We were so impressed with the expertise and
quality of your presentation that I would like to extend and
invitation to you to return and do another seminar. Please contact
me at your earliest convenience. |

| Dear Dr. Granat, |
| Who says you can't have your cake and eat
it too? Just wanted to thank you so much for the time and effort
you've extended me. It's rare to find someone who can help me
enjoy my leisure time and help me improve my practice at the
same time. |
| I wish I could take you out on the golf course
every time I go out. It's really great the way were able to
get me to focus on my swing and my golf game. I know you showed
me things that I can use every time I go out. |
| I'm also thrilled that you were able to get
me to focus better on my practice management skills. You've
given me valuable ideas for attracting more patients who fit
into my style of practicing dentistry. Likewise the ideas and
concepts in your book and in your audio program are both innovative
and practical. |
| Thanks again. |

| Dear Dr. Granat: |
| Although I cannot put my hands on the evaluations
of your class of March 1998, there is no gap in my memory of
the students' response. It was glowingly enthusiastic! We had
immediate requests for a repeat performance. As I recall, people
were intrigued with the psychology of your approach, your sense
of humor, and the immediate feeling of walking away with a tangible
strategy to apply to this elusive game. Not all our classes
leave our clients totally satisfied. This one did! |
| We'll make sure to put copies of the evaluations
in your hands following your presentation in Spring 2000. |
| Please call if you need further documentation.

gotten much positive feedback chiefly concerning your amazing
demonstrations of mind over body, and your quick tips for tennis
success. |
| For my part, it was a pleasure to assist
you. |

| Dear Dr. Granat: |
| Just wanted to thank you for the sports achievement
work you did with my sons, Bret and Jamie. As you can see from
the enclosed newspaper clipping, their team won the Shore Conference
Bowling Championship for the first time in the school's history.
Bret and Jamie were two of the five bowlers chosen to bowl in
that championship match. |
| Prior to your sessions, both boys were having
some difficulty getting back on track after a few bad frames.
Your techniques helped them retain their focus and confidence
in their abilities and enabled them to finally reach the goals
they wanted to achieve. |
| I will certainly recommend your services
any and every chance I get, and will call you in the future
if we need a "booster" session. |
Sincerely,
Karen Contreras |
