Corporate Testimonials
Terrence Daryl Shulman’s presentation: “Biting the Hand that Feeds: The Employee Theft Epidemic … New Perspective, New Solutions” was a fascinating, thought-provoking, and highly informative presentation. The training provided invaluable information and tools for recipient rights investigators to understand the person, circumstances, risk factors, and theft deterrence in today’s world. Terry’s personal and professional background—social worker, attorney, and “in recovery” from stealing since 1990—ensures expert working knowledge of employee theft.

Terrence Shulman has been retained by ®Radio Shack to consult at a national level about the prevention of employee theft:
Terry Shulman provides a unique glimpse into the minds and hearts of shoplifters and dishonest employees. Terry’s personal work as a recovering theft addict combined with his training as a therapist and an attorney give him a rare perspective into the world of theft in the workplace. I have found his material extremely helpful in training both managers and investigators as it allows me to communicate the widespread prevalence of employee theft while putting a human perspective on the experiences of those who commit dishonest and fraudulent actions against retail companies.

Terry Shulman gave an excellent presentation on the importance of honesty at our high school. He talked to the students about shoplifting, stealing, lying, and cheating and the consequences of these pervasive behaviors. Just as schools offer educational programs on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, unsafe and coercive sex, and violence/aggression, programs on honesty and integrity should be more widespread. Terry’s presentation was down-to-earth and our students responded with interest.

“Terry Shulman has been an incredible asset to our teen youth offenders program since 2001. We feel grateful to have such an expert on shoplifting and stealing speak to our group of teens several times a year. I’ve always had good feedback from the teens and other staff about Terry’s presentation content and style. He manages to take a subject nobody really wants to talk about and bring it into the light to examine. He makes the kids feel safe, respected, and valued. I highly recommend Terry as a speaker/presenter.”

To whom it may concern, Please be advised that Terrence Shulman guest spoke in June of 2004 at the annual Professionals in Pretrial Services Conference (PIPS). He was one of the most informative and professional speakers we have had in the 13 years I have served on the board of directors. His resume speaks for itself. In January of this year (2010) we purchased and implemented his theft awareness program. The feedback we get is extremely positive and we look forward to running statistics and recidivism rates. I highly recommend his theft awareness program.
