"Arch has taught the art of effective communication to powerful leaders in government and industry. He's one of the best public speakers I've ever heard. He's bright, witty, engaging, and entertaining. Nobody does it better."--Charles Osgood, CBS News "I learned more in the two or three hours [with Arch] than I have ... in 15 years." - Richard A.
