"Gerry was asked to deliver an effective educational lecture to Pharmacy Students at UBC on Pharmacy Business Strategic Planning. Gerry provided an excellent session that was interactive with the students and as a result was asked to deliver additional lectures. Working with Gerry to develop an effective presentation was easy and productive. Gerry showed genuine passion in helping the students learn, understand and begin to apply the concepts. Would recommend Gerry in teaching anyone to understand the business of pharmacy as well as incorporating customer services."
