“How do I begin to thank you all for the enthusiasm, gusto and passion that you brought to our conference and all you did to ensure its success? Judging from all the wonderful comments we are receiving from our attendees, you really stole the show! I can assure you that lots of folks will be receiving copies of  Fearless Leadership in their Xmas stockings. What a story you have to tell and what a role model you are. You seem to make all things possible and are really making a difference in the lives of all you touch. You open their eyes to hope and a future they might never have explored. I don’t think anything can equal that feeling of promise and accomplishment.”—Association for Learning Environments

“Sally has mastered the art and science of communication from years of researching top companies and executives across the world. Our company recently benefited from her Fascination Advantage presentation at a customer conference. The energy in the room was palpable as our employees and customers learned how they could communicate “at their best” by using their strongest personal attributes to grab their audience’s attention – and make an impact. I believe our audience of vocational rehabilitation, workforce and technology professionals will greatly benefit from Sally’s message in their day-to-day lives. They’ll be able to carry this message to hundreds of their colleagues in the industry, and these ideas will be used in countless number of communications in their service to people with disabilities in this country. Which is to say, the impact is enormous.” — Chris M. Pieper, CEO at Alliance Enterprises, Inc.

“Thank you again for participating as a Thought Leader during our Executive Leadership Forum.  Your presentation, Happier People, Healthier Associations, aligned perfectly with the theme and was the right mix of humor, research, and thoughtful strategies to implement moving forward. We’ve received so many thoughtful comments from participants regarding their overall feedback; much of what was shared and discussed made an impression that will hopefully make a difference in both the personal and professional lives of those who attended.” — ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership

“Neil was phenomenal!!!!!  I was already very grateful that we were able to have him a part of our weekend but after meeting him and experiencing his presentation, I am in awe of his generosity to share his expertise and positive energy with our physicians and staff.  I have included the feedback we have received so far from our attendees below (with more positive feedback to come, I am sure).” —Mary Zamuda, Wellness Manager, Kaiser Permanente

“Starting off with Amy’s inspirational message really kicked off our program on the right foot. I’ve spoken with many people since the offsite and most of them are incorporating JGAME into their daily lives (personally, I’ve gotten good at the gratitudes but need more consistency with the J,A,M and E).  We also received her books this week, which we are sharing with the team as a follow up to keep putting her strategies into place.” Google

“The attendee analytics from Sally’s presentation was eye opening.  Our audience’s primary communication mode, is completely different from what we thought. Months after the event our female attendees are still raving about her presentation. She was the perfect speaker to have a major impact on our top female executives.”  — Frances Rios, Women Who Lead™ Summit

“We recently used Neil at an all employee event.  Given some recent changes in the company, including a move to a new office, there was some trepidation and apprehension within the organization.  Neil’s talk was exactly what we needed.  He was very helpful in putting things into the right context, and created an immediate positive buzz.  He is insightful, evidenced based and practical when it comes to making changes to increase happiness and ultimately productivity. Now we’re all hooked on his books, and are already planning for a future “Pasricha tune-up”.”
— Brian Hilberdink, Country President, Novo Nordisk

“Neil,  I can’t thank you enough for being a part of our Speaker Series.  Your session was such a huge hit….it was energizing, inspiring, thought-provoking and really resonated with our employees.  I’ve received so many emails from employees thanking me for bringing you in, saying how you were their favorite Speaker Series to date and that they were inspired to make some real shifts in their life. It was also such a pleasure to meet you and work with you – thanks for the incredible work you are doing in the world! — Rachelle Diamond, Global Culture, LinkedIn

We’re starting to receive more detailed feedback from our 11 remote viewing sites and it seems people all around the country are talking about their archetype and what makes them individually fascinating. Great work!

On the plane ride back to Philly I started reading your book and as I dig into the details, I find myself drawn further and further in!!! The concept of taking complex ideas and thoughts about who we are and focusing and condensing them into just a few words that express how we can help our clients is very near and dear to our hearts! …In talking to you it seems there are many opportunities to work together on making our messaging engaging, concise and clear.” –The Siegfried Group

“This is the third year in a row we have invited Tasha Eurich to our annual kick off meeting to deliver key messages on leadership.  She is always well prepared, fully engaged with our team, insightful and willing to flex her style to meet the specific needs of our organization.  I welcome her thought leadership and will continue to engage her skills to develop stronger leaders within my global team.” —T-Mobile USA

“I think you created the ‘Lisa Ford phenomenon’ after you left.  For the next two days of the meeting, we were able to weave in your messaging and everyone was talking about it!  As I watched around the room, they were quite riveted during your talk.  We plan to keep this alive, and I wanted to thank you for bringing just the right topic with just the right ability to engage our teams.  It’s tough to keep a sales team away from their computers, but you did it for the entire two hours.  You are an incredible speaker and your content was exactly what we were looking for.”
–Global Head, Commercial Strategy, PPD

“Thank you again for speaking at the Innovation Summit. I cannot think of a better keynote speaker to have at such an event. Your attention to detail and extra effort of going to the dealer, researching the company, and referencing us personally in your speech was such a wonderful touch.” —Angela Faler: MARC USA on behalf of  IC Bus Innovation Summit

“Michelle Gielan had us at hello with her infectious smile and energetic personality. But it was the practical ways we can put the research and ideas she shared that had everyone buzzing. Some attendees said they were skeptical at first ‘here’s another think positive speaker,’ but left very impressed and motivated by Michelle’s message. One of our best speakers ever.” –Gary Vann, SVP, Sales & Marketing, Mighty Auto Parts

“She was absolutely FANTASTIC to have!  Our nurses have more positive, outgoing, and passionate about patient care since her chat today.  We are extremely grateful to have had the pleasure of working with Amy and having her speak to our nurses. Our entire leadership team had a wonderful experience as well.  We are just so very grateful to have had the opportunity to hear Amy speak.  Thank you, thank you, we can’t thank you enough!”  Heather Roff, Critical Care Clinical Nurse Specialist, Dignity Health

–CEO, The DiJulius Group

“Thank you so much for your inspirational and truly motivating keynote speech at the recent RentPath Sales Kickoff.  Your speech delivered a very spirited presentation to send our sales team off to their home markets to ignite sales for the upcoming year. Additionally, your speech probably provided the most practical advice of all of our keynote speakers.  I believe it resonated with everyone that you can overcome anything if you have the mindset – and will — to do so.  I was very impressed with your detailed preparation, your questions on our pre-conference call, and overall attentiveness in understanding the multifamily apartment rental business’ challenges and opportunities.  I also sincerely appreciate all your efforts to incorporate our company’s strategic messaging and key priorities into your speech.  It definitely added to the success of our conference mission.” –RentPath

You played a key role in making the conference such a memorable event. I’d like to especially thank you for the energy, enthusiasm, and expertise you brought to our stage. As you may have heard, we have been fans of yours for some time – and you did not disappoint! Your presentation was highly relevant and provided actionable suggestions advisors could incorporate immediately into their business. The archetypal categories have continued to be helpful to us internally, as well. And the advance copy books were a delightful surprise that our attendees valued. It was truly a pleasure to work with you and we hope to have another opportunity to do so again in the near future. ” –The Newport Group

Peter presented “Risk, Originality and Virtuosity”  at our 2016 Global Sales Conference.  Our sales team loved the practical application of Peter’s message as well as his engaging delivery.  Later in the day after Peter’s presentation I asked the sale team what key points they came away with.  Much to my satisfaction, the key points that I wanted to have the team take away had the desired impact and were duly noted by the team.  We were thrilled with the opportunity to learn from Peter and I know the impact of his message will continue to impact our sales team for some time to come.  Well done Peter! –Posey Company

He arrived early and stayed late – talking to everyone and inspiring all of us.” – Rekha Rao-Mayya, National Technical Director, Microsoft

“Although many of my staff lobbied to get Brené as the speaker at our luncheon, I was not personally aware of her or her books.  After watching her speak on YouTube, we decided to pursue her as our speaker.  I am absolutely thrilled at the response we got.  We sold over 1,500 tickets (sold out), had the largest net revenue for the event in our history and got the best feedback from our guests.  Brené was personable, low maintenance and willing to take pictures and spend some time with our guests.  Thank you, Brené and your staff – we raised a record amount and the message you delivered continues to resonate in our organization and throughout our community.” –Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center

“Howard, we have received rave reviews from our leadership team about your presentation and the relevance of your experiences and messages to the challenges we face in our business today.

“Shawn’s presentation exceeded our expectations (both for those of us that put the program together as well as our attendees). We already knew from the TEDx video that he was a dynamic presenter but then to meet him in person and have him be so down to earth and genuine was a big bonus. This was particularly beneficial for us with our group being so small (approximately 25 people) and the main goal for them to connect and learn from each other. Having Shawn kick-off our event set the tone for the next two days. There were several attendees over the next two days who referenced different portions of Shawn’s session and would comment on how they started their day with their gratitude’s. Many also plan to read his book to help them with the process for setting new habits.”  — Threshold Group

“Brené’s talk was transformational for the people present. We have had a deluge of positive comments, feedback and thank you messages, as well as streams of discussion posts on our internal jive platform. Two members of the audience approached one of our executives and hugged him to thank him for bringing Brené to Citi. What impressed us most about her, was her ability to effortlessly tell her story, while making it relevant to the banking and regulatory reality of the people in the audience. She also expertly referenced our broader culture change work at Citi. She could not have done a better job. She nailed it!” –Citi

And, Sally was so gracious. She truly took the time to have meaningful conversations and to leave our audience with very personalized, actionable game plans for moving forward in their careers and lives.” –The Newport Group

The more penetration his philosophies have, the more satisfaction, quality, and longevity we’ll see.” – Dr. Mark Shapiro, Sharp Healthcare

“Lisa’s presentation really hit the mark of exactly what we were looking for.  She weaved in the ‘We’re here to serve and we care a lot’ into her presentation very nicely.  Lisa charged each person with doing something differently at the end of the presentation pointing out that our engagement as leaders is the key.  She made a good point that the leaders are the drivers of where the team is going – great example with the bus driver.” –Allstate Insurance Company

“Howard Putnam’s knowledge, experience and program delivery exceeded the expectations of the Eliant team. Of the 65+ responses received from the post-conference survey, the amount of positive feedback specific to Howard Putnam’s presentation was remarkable. Mr. Putnam’s program delivery was not only heartfelt and inspiring, but humorous and insightful. He fascinated the audience by sharing candid personal and professional experiences, and emphasized the importance of providing extraordinary Customer Service. His message was communicated in a way that was easy to identify with and motivating to apply.” –Eliant, Inc.

“Michelle is a delight and everyone was overly impressed with her message and her positive spirit. Many times at conventions we find ourselves so involved in industry material that we fail to look at other opportunities to have speakers that help us in life, and being positive.  The world is a crazy place at times and it seems that we need many more people to understand how to be happy and live life to its fullest.  Michelle teaches us the power of being happy and how it impacts every aspect of our lives.” — Director of Business Development, United Real Estate

“Just a quick note to thank you for yet another fantastic presentation at our Business & Leadership Conference.  We invited you back after dozens of requests from those who first saw you in 2012, and you succeeded in ‘Wowing’ them all over again.  With the demanding schedule you keep and clients you manage, I have no idea how you can even begin to find the time to stay on top of all of the amazing technological advances being made, but you do it, and you do it well!”  — National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA)

“We had Amy as a guest speaker at our annual kick off meeting for staff. She was a fantastic addition to our program.

“Michelle Gielan is one of the brightest stars in positive psychology and an eloquent champion for rethinking the way we communicate—at work, in our lives, and especially in the media.

I’ve already witnessed my colleagues engaging in the happiness habits, and I’m practicing them myself!” — Johnson & Johnson

“Michelle was more incredible and down to earth than I could have even expected!  I believe she connected well with our multiple audiences and made her content approachable for all roles of our organization.  We took the 21 Day Challenge in an email campaign and our open rate was twice the industry average AND our click through rate to her tools was nearly THREE times the industry average! On the discussion day, we talked about how easily the tools could be incorporated into work and family life, particularly the Zorro Circle.  We also talked about how much difference the Power Lead has made! Many folks are using a Power Lead who did not attend our event.  That piece has gone viral and become a part of our fabric! Michelle Gielan truly made an impact on our organization!” —VCU Health System

“Your presentation was uplifting, entertaining and enlightening.  What a refreshing topic, and one that should be shared with all!  Our group is made up of highly accomplished managers with years of experience.  They can be a tough audience to say the least, but you completely captured them with your positive energy, your research and humor.  Undeniably, Shawn Achor has made a difference on my professional and personal life to be happy!” –Medivation

“Honestly, I’ve been in this biz a long time and I think Howard has risen to the top as my new favorite speaker on leadership.  I can’t say enough about him.  As a fellow Midwesterner and a farmer’s daughter, his messages resonated with me instantly.  Such a special guy. It was such an honor to learn from him. I briefed the session with my folks after and here’s what I heard…”
‘Did you notice that he knew every employees name, their secretary, and their spouse…wow!’
‘He made it seem so simple, but leading like that is actually quite hard’
‘I would’ve worked for him in a heartbeat’

‘How do we get him to coach our leadership team?’
‘Class act… Now he gets it!’
‘Best story teller I’ve ever heard’
‘That was simply amazing’
–General Electric Company

“WOW!  Sally is amazing! She exceeded my expectations on every level. The work she is doing is such a positive and needed way to help each and every person find their highest and best self.  It was clear from the electricity in the room at our event that she ‘nailed it’ – from perfectly typing every  participant and their unique personality, to presenting an uplifting and inspirational way to think about both our strengths and our weaknesses and how to utilize them best. And although she’s probably given her presentation many, many times, to those of us hearing it for the first time, Sally sounded fresh and spontaneous, and truly interested and excited to be sharing this knowledge – almost like giving her audience a precious secret that can be life-changing.  She brought and shared her best self with all of us, and provided a rich and exciting new language that helps people be more effective and fulfilled.  What a gift to the world!! I believe each person walked away with an appreciation and understanding for how they can interact differently, become more fulfilled, and utilize their innate gifts.  I think Sally’s presentation and insights are a huge confidence builder!” —Womenetics

“Tasha Eurich’s material and approach were fresh, fun, and deeply impactful. Her concepts were immediately applicable our audience of commercial interior designers—managers and non-managers alike. But perhaps most remarkably, she spoke to us in our language. In fact, Dr. Eurich was so knowledgeable about the commercial interior design industry that many asked how long she’d been a designer before becoming a leadership expert! She exceeded our expectations, and I’d enthusiastically recommend her to any audience that wants to improve their leadership skills.”
–Elements

“Lisa was amazing.  A true inspiration and a lot of what she said really hit home for me personally.  She was engaging and held the attention of the audience.  I loved talking with her before/after and listening to her presentation.  You were all so easy to work with, open lines of communication. It was great.” –Verizon Wireless

“Michelle Gielan’s buoyant, poignant, and uplifting message was the cornerstone of our entire three-day event.  Because of the power and eloquence of Michelle’s message, we specifically crafted our attendee experience and engagement strategy to align and underscore the influence of positive communication and “Broadcasting Happiness.”   Michelle’s warm, inclusive, and elegantly polished delivery brought our group of 200 into her enchanting inner circle.   Our group includes data geeks, research nerds, and senior business executives…a diverse group that expects that theory is backed by proof.  Before Michelle’s presentation, some were concerned that her message could have been considered subjective, or potentially even emotionally squishy.  Well, the doubters weren’t doubters for long – Michelle and her message not only resonated, but also transformed our audience to adopt the challenge of radiating happiness.   Including Michelle Gielan in an event is to ensure happier, more productive, more successful outcomes for your group.” –The Incentive Research Foundation

“Dr. Tasha Eurich is certainly a brilliant speaker—but more importantly, she inspires real change in organizations. She starts by deeply understanding her audience—in our case, engineers—and builds her presentations to address their specific leadership struggles. During her talk, she provides practical tools and plenty of time for participants to apply them to their own lives. After Dr. Eurich’s talk, there was a palpable “buzz,” and I heard repeatedly that people were applying what they learned right away. If you want to measurably improve your company’s leaders—and have fun doing it— I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Eurich.” –Government Affairs & Strategic Business Development
