The comments included: “Highly Evolved” “Doug Motel was a great speaker.” “Inspirational.” “The speaker’s use of humor while helping me to reach inside in regards to the inner voice was most helpful.” “It was a great help to my life.”

Doug Motel makes “conscious comedy” he makes us laugh and he makes us think.

Doug has an unusually sensitive and compassionate manner. His ability to use humor as a healing tool is evident. We intend to bring Doug back this fall.

The experience of having Doug Motel as a coach has quite literally transformed my life, from a dreamer to a doer, from an artist blocked to an artist on a roll….If you are ready to have your life changed in miraculous ways-Doug helps you do it.

Thank you for your excellent presentation. It was just what the doctor ordered!
