“Your knowledge of the German American Bund and their history is second to none… Your expertise, both from a historical and research perspective and also in the field, enabled us to capture phenomenal footage for our project… thank you for appearing in our film.”

“James Calaski’s gifts as a historian, coupled with his innate skills as a police detective, bring a unique perspective to his work. He is thorough in his research, always going to those places where the facts lead. All that, plus Jim’s personable style and good sense of humor make him an ideal presenter for any group event.”

FANTASTIC !!! She is an incredible lecturer. Only wish more time could have been spent on each segment of her presentation. Left me wishing for more. The blend of history and literature was so interesting and informative.

Good Morning Catherine,
Thank you so much for a fabulous presentation on new Zealand last evening. Our audience loved it! I have been receiving such positive feedback and wanted to share with you the comments I received thus far. As I mentioned last night, your enthusiasm for New Zealand shines through the screen and I do hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and will return in the future.

I just wanted to tell you “Thank you” for the amazing presentation today. You successfully wove together a good immigration story with a “how I did it” on A.I. Truly a job well done.

Just so you know, there were 49 people who attended in person, and about 67 on Zoom. Our best attended session post COVID. And we had several people join as new members, including a couple who happened to be in the library and stopped in to see what was going on!

And, please check out the JGSPBC Facebook page. Marjorie Feldman posted a very nice comment about your presentation.

In short — a five star presentation. Thank you!!

Mark was terrific! He clearly has a passion for advertising! The Superbowl Ad presentation took everyone (veterans and staff) on a fun trip down memory lane. It seemed to pique a bit of curiosity about what this year held, as well. Mark said he has a presentation about Minnesota advertising and it is one we will consider booking in the future!

Lectures
INCLUDE

Sell Like A Spy: Espionage For Everyday Life

Learn a few of the basic components of spy tradecraft such as how they form connections (even with some bad people!), how to physically and verbally mirror someone, how to be a great active listener and how to use the surroundings you’re in and the physical attributes of someone to foster relationships.

Skills Of Social Influence

FBI hostage negotiators and other elite government officials are experts at subtly influencing their targets. Learn how to read body language, detect deception, negotiate different situations and how to calm emotional encounters to better navigate your social encounters.

Use Your Superpowers

Based off a compelling anecdote Jeremy calls “the spy who skied” learn how spies use their passions and interests to relate to those they wish to influence. This workshop draws out key aspects of your personality and helps you to use them to find social success and have more enriching conversations and friendships.

Spies In Disguise

Learn the real story about how spies use disguises and cover stories in their tradecraft. Jeremy then uses that as a springboard to show you how you can put on a disguise of sorts to draw out key aspects of your personality at different moments depending on the situation to use those areas of your personality in a more defined manner to improve your social encounters.
