National Leadership Conference

 "You made a wonderful impression with your style, content and relatability to our Team.

-You took the time to interview key players from our company, discovering our Theme and how we were tying that into the week. Then you went one step further by weaving it into your content, creating a connection between your message and our Theme. I’m not sure we’ve ever had a Key note Speaker to it so seamlessly and eloquently before. 
-From a pure visual and audio perspective, your presentation was big, easy to see and entertaining. And your “stories” were easier to receive and understand than other style types.
-You jumped right in, engaging the audience, enticing us to lean forward in our seats from the get-go."

-Phil Traywick, Vice President, Field Sales, Guest Supply
