“Bart Berkey's presentation nailed it again. So engaging, applicable, and relevant. His presentation style is professional, warm, and welcoming along with his content. Always learn so much when he talks. Highly recommend.” Bart shared the conference speaker stage with the likes of Daniel H. Pink (author of Drive! And other NYT Best Sellers).

“He was the BEST speaker of the entire event! I felt super motivated after he spoke and he was extremely engaging.”

Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer, Vayner Media 

“Bart thinks differently based on his ability to “observe, anticipate, and over-deliver” which may come from his past Ritz-Carlton Leadership roles. His storytelling is remembered more than data and enables betterment for organizations and individuals. Bart leads with authentic heartfelt emotion to touch upon the hearts and minds of individuals, so they FEEL moved to take action and do good for themselves and others.”

Liberty Mutual Insurance  

“Bart recently led a program for my team. He partnered with us to really target the content and deliver dynamically - effectively using storytelling to help people make deeper connections to the message. Bart also layers in unexpected elements, which most people don't (pun intended), and his session was rated by the audience as the one that provided the most value out of the entire event. Versatile, above-and-beyond, and impact!" 

-Katrina Kent, Vice President, Liberty Mutual Insurance 

Wynn Las Vegas and Encore

 "We invited Bart to join us for our recent kickoff and we all thoroughly enjoyed his presentation! In a short period of time, Bart immersed himself with our team and into our culture. The past few years have been crazy for everyone and we wanted to start this year with an uplifting and positive message…and Bart really delivered!! He’s engaging and funny, and very passionate about helping people find ways to be better in life, both personally and professionally. ”

-Ms. Chris Flatt, EVP- Wynn Las Vegas and Encore

PCMA

 "Bart delivered a set of engaging and insightful presentations for our community of business event professionals and supplier partners. It has been a long time since I’ve seen a speaker connect with an audience the way Bart did - he has a gift of engaging through sharing relatable and compelling stories and provides clear takeaways you can put into practice right away.”

-Meredith Rollins, Chief Community Officer, PCMA & Executive Director, PCMA Foundation

B.F. Saul   

"What most people don't do, Bart does.

Bart listens to your goals and priorities and incorporates them into everything he delivers.
Bart connects with a room in a way many can not
Bart motivates teams to take action
Bart delivers everything that is asked of him to deliver and more.

Every team needs to hear your company's messages in the most effective way possible to ensure it resonates. I highly recommend Bart and his services."

-Stephanie Snapkoski, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Revenue Management at B. F. Saul Company Hospitality Group

Guest Supply (Sysco), National 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.
  • One more thing – you walked on stage and started with a story. You didn’t introduce yourself again, ask how we were doing, acknowledge you were happy to be there, etc. While those are nice things, everyone does that. Instead, you jumped right in, engaging the audience, enticing us to lean forward in our seats from the get-go.

I learned from you, and will take that into my future presenting. Thanks again Bart – a pleasure to meet you and interact with you!"

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

Marriott Vacations Global Summit 

 “It was our pleasure to host Bart Berkey as our Keynote Speaker at our recent Leadership Conference. Bart did his homework on our organization and culture and customized his stories to our organizational needs. Bart was incredibly engaging with the audience, kept high energy with his storytelling, and was very passionate about the betterment and success of our attendees- both personally and professionally. I really loved the “Pushing the Button '' and “Be Bamboo” stories! Thank you, Bart, for your positive energy and starting our conference out on a high note!”
