D.J., VP ADMINISTRATION, INTERNATIONAL RETAIL USER GROUP
“I couldn’t be more pleased after having you as our guest speaker at RossWorld conference in
Atlanta…I was amazed, even though I had watched your promotional DVD and mostly knew
what to expect. I still watched your performance with excitement. It was so wonderful to watch how you handled the audience and how they responded to you. You are truly a star.
But what blew me away was your performance on a personal level. It is so rare to work with a guest speaker or performer who is so approachable and such a joy to be around. When you agreed to also attend our evening function, you really seemed to be having a good time, and that positive energy transferred to our guests. It was apparent that the audience really connected with you, as people just ambled up and started conversations as if you were an old friend, not a stranger they had just seen on the stage for an hour that morning.
‘Excellent session…best keynote I have attended!’ ‘Wow, how did he do that?’
Thank you again for wowing my attendees, making me look great, and just being such a nice person to work with. I can’t wait until next time (yes, there will be a next time)!”

‘I laughed until I cried…I need to see that again!’
Your attitude, enthusiasm and service orientation represent the true value you brought to GuideOne and this program. Your can-do approach really made a difference. The success of our event would not have been achieved without your expertise.”
