Speaking Testimonials

“I can’t thank you enough for the outstanding presentation you delivered to our leadership team at our recent AmerAsia Leadership Development Conference! From the very start of your talk, everyone became energized, and you lifted their spirits in a way that felt very natural, putting them at ease and opening them up to learning. Your connection to the audience was palpable, and you took them on a journey that kept everyone engaged throughout your entire presentation.”

Thank you for giving 200% of yourself – not only to IQPC as organizers of the conference – but to every single delegate who attended!”

“I thoroughly enjoyed hearing you speak! It is easy to see why you are in demand and why our event organizer was so impressed with you and focused on bringing you back to talk to our group. I took away many important thoughts that will stay with me, and I heard so many positive comments about how much everyone enjoyed your presentation! Here is an official ‘warning’ that you will be contacted by us to speak again someday!”
OBO Lawrence R. James, M.D., American Interstate Bancorporation
“We were so privileged to have you join us. Our board members were ‘charged’ with new energy and you made it happen! Branding is so important and it is difficult to convince some that it is a serious investment in our future. Your presentation really helped us. Thank you!”

Pamela Schmoll, Founder, WINGS
“We received only very positive feedback about your speech. We were impressed - you did everything with excellence! Usually our trouble is getting information from the speakers in time for the event, but you were always very responsive and quick to follow-up. You were very accommodating with the schedule change, and really went with the flow. You were a perfect speaker in every dimension!”
Erin Padilla, Organizer, Singapore Leadership Summit
“I couldn't sleep! Your presentation, ensuing conversation and the following moments of enlightenment/insight had my head swirling. I was consumed with guilt over old [marketing] ideas I should I have acted on, excitement about new ideas. I will implement the 'one hour a day of marketing' rule today, even if I've been thinking marketing since dinner last night. Thank you for being such an inspiration and sharing so many valuable tips!”
Nima Chandler, General Manager, Nancy Chandler Graphics Ltd.
“Your passion for excellence is no surprise to me. What was a bit of a surprise to me was the overwhelmingly positive response as a speaker that you received from a crowd that tends toward being jaded, and which is so diverse that few speakers ring everyone's chimes. But you clearly did it!”
James Fowler, Managing Director, Veritas Enterprises, Ltd.
“Speaking on behalf of our board and officers, your presentation more than met my objectives! I positioned myself by your books afterwards so I could hand them out personally...all comments were very positive! They understood how branding applied to our fund-raising efforts as well as to them personally. Many thanks for sharing your expertise and time with us. I did talk to some people who observed your keen speaking style and also paid close attention to learn more about effective public speaking. What a bonus!”
Susan Eustice, Divisional Director of Public Relations & Communications, Salvation Army
