Review of Frank's first visit
Frank Kermit came to do a seminar at ‘Residence Bienvenue’, a supervised housing residence for adults with mental illness. Our goal is to foster a sense of independence and autonomy as a form of rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
Although this was a new experience for Frank, he was a comfortable presence, and I think that really contributed to how our clients opened up to him during the seminar. Frank really captured the specific challenges that our clients face on a daily basis and was able to provide a relatable context through his own challenges, which allowed our clients to feel that they are capable of pursuing romantic relationships.
Frank was very open to our clients needs, and even went above and beyond the purpose of the seminar by taking a look at some of our clients online dating profiles.
Our clients are eager to have him back for another seminar, which is a huge testament to Frank's professionalism and overall charismatic nature.
Looking forward to having Frank back!

Review of Frank's second visit
Those that got involved in the conversation and really listened, appreciated it a lot. They rarely get the chance to talk about dating, relationships, and sex with their workers or others, so it was a good opportunity for them to open up about it and learn something.
Even for a small group, you are making a difference for them and opening up a conversation with us as workers about this aspect of their lives, which is great. It’s something that is not being done with any other community resource in mental health so I think we are off to a good start!

I interviewed Frank Kermit for a research project that was funded by Brandon University in Brandon Manitoba, Canada.
It was entitled Beyond the Pair: the Changing Meaning of Intimate Relationships in the Context of Non-Monogamy. The aim of the research project was to investigate changing relational and erotic norms in the Canadian context.
He was extremely generous in both his time and in his honesty. I was impressed by Frank’s grasp of the issues that relate to an open relationship lifestyle. He identified both positive and negative aspects, in a cogent and reflexive evaluation of his experiences.
What I respected most about my interview with Frank was - excuse the pun! - His “Frankness”.
He was not only a strongly analytical voice in my findings, he also helped to recruit new participants for the interview process.
Anyone who does work in the area of intimacy, or is interested in the evolution of relationship in general, and open relationships in particular, should talk to Frank. His knowledge on these topics is impressive and his generosity truly touching.

Casting Frank Kermit in my two films ‘The Meatball Story’ and ‘Truant Café’ was a natural choice. Frank's ability to understand what drives a character and the teeny, tiny clockwork of the character's psychology is amazing. Frank's life experience and natural open mind gave him the ability to identify and understand the two vastly different characters he played in both films.
Frank also brings an aura of sophistication, intelligence and professionalism to the film set. The grueling, low-budget work of indie films is not easy for even the most season actors, yet Frank did his job impeccably and with a profound respect for the craft of film-making. There is only one Frank and I am grateful to have him grace my films and would gladly cast him again if the opportunity presented itself.

As the host of The Stuph File Program I have had the pleasure of interviewing Frank Kermit on several occasions over the years.
As a relationship expert he is a source that I gladly return to for information about intimacy. There are many out there who tout the idea of getting to the heart of the matter, but Frank literally lives up to his name with
Frank discussions about interpersonal relationships that makes the listener lean in.
He is an informed storyteller, which makes him a perfect interview subject; a guest who is always a joy to talk to.

I was a director on the prime time series Newlywed Nearly Dead, a show that helped couples who were having marital issues within the first few years of marriage.
In season 3; we were looking for a Relationship Coach with a specialized understanding of the female/male dynamic, seduction, and alternative lifestyles that could help the chosen couple to get their ‘mojo’ back. The expert had to be someone with experience and most importantly, also have the ethical standards that supported the aim of keeping their marriage intact and thriving.
During my research I was introduced to Frank Kermit and his Emotional Needs Analysis work. Since this was going to be very controversial for our audience, I had to be sure Frank could deliver the standards upheld by the network. After several discussions, it was very clear that Frank had the skills and professionalism we were looking for.
Frank was brought in for a consultation with the creative team where he helped us design the best plan of action both for this couple’s issues, and a television audience.
Frank was able to give us the pros and cons of each scenario under consideration including the original plan of what they wanted him to do. Frank refused the original scenario which was to take the husband out to a bar and teach him how to pick up girls in front of his wife, as he explained that it would only drive the couple further apart instead of bring them together. He was not willing to take part in something that he felt certain would risk their relationship, even if it meant backing out of the episode. After further brainstorming, we fell in love with Frank's suggestion to have him lead the couple through some BDSM with an earpiece microphone.
It’s noteworthy to say that this was shot almost 5 years BEFORE the 50 Shades of Grey phenomena. Again; this was a prime time, fairly conservative show! This was going to be a step out of the comfort zone.
The evening that Frank and I arrived on set, the couple had a major fall out during the day of shooting, and Frank walked in to work with them at a very sensitive and crisis moment. Frank conducted himself like a professional at all times and worked with the couple privately for hours before the scene. He gave them private coaching, working on boundaries and to get them back on track to working together. He even gave the couple some of his books he had written, for them to continue working together after the episode.
The couple later told me that Frank's coaching and his lessons, (only a part of which made it to the edited episode), was exactly what their relationship needed. They credited him as a major part of what helped save their marriage.
At the time of writing this review, Frank's episode still airs in re-runs (a good indication).
Of the many series I have directed, I have rarely come across someone who was able to be so profoundly helpful to a couple with lasting effects.
Frank Kermit has a proven track record of being able to manage risk with integrity in the area of romance and sex. He also displays the innate ability to perceive a person’s actual challenges. He can advise exactly what his clients need in order to move to the next level of their love lives. His advice is as strong and as sound as any prescription.
Frank Kermit’s expertise as a Relationship Coach along with his media savvy, make a hot commodity for any show seeking to blow their audience away!

I used to be a pick up coach and I helped many guys how to interact in the social dynamics to succeed at meeting women. We are all evolving, and until today I still face challenges in dating.

I was looking to create an audio version for the visually impaired of one of my booklets entitled Developmental Disabilities and Teaching Sex Ed (under the category of Special Needs Education). This project would be about 45 minutes of voice work and sold to teachers and caregivers working with students with special needs including autism, learning disabilities, intellectual impairments, and other developmental disabilities.
I was looking for someone with a voice that I really liked, who could present material such as masturbation and sexual feelings within developmentally challenged populations, with dignity and professionalism.
Enter Frank Kermit. I hired Frank to narrate the audio because I believe he has a solid and compassionate voice, as well as his personal affinity working with, and supporting special populations.
I recommend Frank Kermit for Voice Work and Narration.

Frank is an remarkable man, confident and knowledgeable in his field. I have had the pleasure of teaching him the Art of Hypnosis and he can now include Certified Hypnotherapist to his impressive list of accreditation. He has an amazing voice and is a very talented hypnotist. What really stands out about Frank is his level of compassion and understanding as well as his innate ability to listen and hear between the lines. Frank is a coach with worldly experience that he openly shares and applies towards the greater picture. I would highly recommend Frank and look forward to having him speak at our own National Guild of Hypnotists meeting in Montreal.

I checked out your website and thoroughly enjoyed the two Mens Room YouTube videos with Mr. Sparks. I've worked with a few men who have social anxiety and many of the things you say are quite helpful. I like the honesty of your videos. ...(the first video) contains information that may help a man whose self esteem has been damaged by rejection to find a way to talk to women. I like the second (video) because it gives specific advice that could help a man build confidence. What you say is very much on target. As men who have difficulty talking to women often believe they will never get a woman, I think your videos give hope as well as specific advice they can use. I also believe one needs to practice new behavior even if it's uncomfortable, and you state it well. Giving your honest story makes your advice more valid than it would be coming from "just a therapist". I look forward to meeting you.
-Review by Ms. C. Jeanne

Years ago I began studying under Frank. Through his guidance and teachings, I've seen my social life transform for the better, right before my eyes. When I first met Frank I suffered from a lack of confidence and low self esteem, due in part to having my 2 front teeth missing. This image problem I had directly affected my day to day interactions with people. I would be scared to open my mouth and converse with people due to the fear of being ridiculed and laughed at. But through Franks teachings and materials I learned to see the beauty in my self and turn my "defect" into a tool that I can use to connect to people.

(Frank is) One of the world’s greatest seducers. No matter how ugly your experiences with women may have been in your past, Frank is your role model. Nobody has had it worse than him, nobody went down in flames more than he used to …and nobody pulled himself out of a deeper swamp than he did. Whatever your current situation may be … Frank has already been there and can help you out. So make sure you are all ears and listen to him. When I moved on to work in another industry, it was Frank that I entrusted my business with.
- Review by Nick Starr, former dating coach for men
Frank Kermit (is) great to listen to. He is one of the guys that went From Loser To Seducer. I’ve been there; I will be the first to admit it. I was a loser and I went to a seducer. Let’s be realistic here. That’s the way it’s done. This is how you learn how to do it. Not everybody is born being perfect with women. A lot of guys have a lot of work to do before they become perfect with women and Frank is one of those guys that has gotten it really down pact having gone through a lot of things (and) I am glad to see that he is still here and kicking. That’s why there are people like myself, and Frank here to help you become more successful with women, to help you not get into (a bad) place (with women). Because (a natural with women) has never felt that pain, that suffering, because he has always been able to get sex. Other guys like Frank and I, that have gone through so much, and have been able to make it to this point. Those are the BEST people to learn from. If you ask me, those are the best people that know what it’s like.

I have had Frank on a number of my different podcasts. Frank Kermit is one of the most respectable relationship gurus that I have had the pleasure to meet and interview. Frank is the real deal. I have to say that my impression of him is that this guy actually has game. He lives by what he teaches. He is not just some theory guy. His experience IS his classroom. He is a giver in an industry that is plagued by takers. Frank is NOT like those "community" guys. He appreciates other people, and has soul. Frank always makes sure to show thanks when thanks are due. With the amount of game Frank has, you'd think he would be like those community egoists. He is humble, and he has heart.

He first approached us to write an Advice column for both Tryst Magazine as well as Tab Magazine. He sent us a sample of his work and we were impressed. His advice is straight forward and to the point, which is quite refreshing in these days of `political correctness`. Once you learn some of Frank’s history you will be surprised to find out how unlucky he was with women earlier on in his life. He has definitely learned what to do and is now trying to help others in their quest, giving him the right to tell it like he sees it. If this is your first experience with any of Frank’s teachings, be prepared. His point of view will seem radical at first, but the knowledge you will obtain will be life changing for you, if you let it.

After having Frank on the show The Men's Room, I was blown away by his presentation skills and breadth of knowledge in the field of interpersonal relationships.
Frank presented insight that became one of our most highly rated episodes to date.
One of the many things that I respect about Frank is that he is different than many of the dating coaches and pick up artists that have recently sprung up.
Frank’s coaching model is grounded in science and has been formed after years of working with people to resolve their inner conflicts, personal blockages, and communication skills, in order to foster lasting relationships.
It is admirable that someone with his background of being unsuccessful at maintaining a healthy relationship could transform himself into someone who now does.
His Emotional Needs Analysis theory should be a prerequisite for all men and women seeking to enter into a relationship.

Engaging, reliable, responsible, professional and empathetic are just a few of the adjectives that I would attribute to this exceptional Relationship Coach. By using easy to understand examples and metaphors, he is able to help men and women traveling the winding road of dating, which can be full of obstacles. People quickly sense his mastery over his domain, and his advice is always useful.
Without a doubt, Frank Kermit is one of the best date and relationship specialists that I have ever met in this area.

I've been a men’s dating coach for about 10 years, and while most advice and coaching you stumble across borders on cheesy behaviours and manipulative pick-up tricks ,Frank teaches and communicates something that is sorely lacking in dating theory and practice -- authenticity.
He is a consummate gentleman, and extremely professional. Don't hesitate to contact him right now. You can thank me later.

I've had the honour of befriending and working with Frank Kermit for decades.
In April 2005, I cast Frank as a recurring character for a television pilot based on my radio show
‘Zoltan's Cinemafix.’
His character ‘Mr. Pazazz’ would have been a supporting role as a personality with flair, whose job was to quiz my guests in their field of expertise, and to then present them with a diploma if they successfully answered all of the questions.
Frank is a consummate professional, so I had no worries about giving him free reign over the development of the persona and trusted him entirely to perform his role perfectly.
Frank Kermit can always be counted on to contribute his best to any and all projects he is associated with and I fully endorse for any role you might want him to fulfill.

I first met Frank Kermit in college where we participated in the college radio station together, as well as in our television production classes. Frank was always helpful and willing to work hard long hours, and gave
every task the same level of importance, no matter how trivial.
Later, while we were both at University, I earned the opportunity to produce and host my own show on AM radio and had to put together a team of people I could count on. I needed someone that I could trust to take their position seriously. I called Frank and offered him the spot of our news reporter. Over the course of the two-year run of ‘The Next Zone’, targeting an audience of twenty-somethings, Frank's role emerged from news reporter to running his own (sometimes controversial) editorial, ‘Life From The Sidelines’. The program aired on the Montreal radio stations CIQC 600, Oldies 990, and CKGM Talk 990, now known as TSN 690.
At a time when we were all young adults, many of us finishing or having just completed our academic careers, Frank stood out as particularly professional. His approach to work has always been exceptional.
In the same time frame, I also had the opportunity to supervise his work as a reporter for the ‘L. Ian McDonald Morning Show’ on 990 CKGM, where he explored topics such as wrestling at the old Montreal Forum among others.
Now co-owner of a Montreal-based ad agency, I occasionally still hear Frank as a frequent co-host and media correspondent on dating and relationships in professional media. I am proud to see him flourish and am happy to have been able to help Frank with his first professional radio break.

I first met Frank Kermit through CINQ 102.3 FM community radio, on the radio show ‘Hungarians Here and There’ in 1998. He was the sound board operator and I was a consultant to the show’s producer.
When Frank came to be on CINQ-FM, he was not welcomed. There was a very conservative streak among our teams management. I fought for him, and made sure that he was on my show several times both as a guest and producer.
I essentially informed him to ignore the conservative streak and do what he did best, and it worked out well.
I was struck by the fact that Frank knew things that I did not. I am in an information / knowledge industry so I almost always know more about most things than the people I assist, so when Frank Kermit had knowledge and knew things (I did not), it was quite refreshing.

In 1993-1995 I was the Station Manager of ‘Concordia University Television (CUTV) a closed circuit network community oriented television station. It was at that time when I met a young Frank Kermit who had started out as a volunteer and ended up on the executive team.
Frank had a warm and friendly personality and unprecedented work ethic and professional focus. I appreciated his creative and technical work on his original shows (Paradites and News Briefs). In addition, there are many others shows that he worked on that reflected his professional and dynamic talents.
CUTV would not have been an amazing success without Frank’s proactive attitude, in-depth media knowledge, and team building skills. I was always grateful and appreciative for his leadership skills, and his continued creative drive which was a force on its own.
Congratulations Frank on your amazing work. With your series of books and private coaching, you have accomplished so much over the many years.

When I first interviewed Frank Kermit for an On Air DJ Position at ‘C.I.X.S. Dawson College Radio’, he had the will and desire to learn. I took a chance and gave him the least desirable time slot of the schedule; Monday morning and he took it in a flash! He also arrived every week prepared with his material, but most importantly, he arrived on time. |
