One of our best speakers ever.” –Gary Vann, SVP, Sales & Marketing, Mighty Auto Parts

Dr. Tony Alessandra
“Tony Alessandra’s presentation was right on the mark! I have often recommended Tony to other groups, based on the outstanding presentation he did for a marketing conference I was involved in for another organization 15 years ago. It was a pleasure having the opportunity to engage Tony again for NPA’s annual convention this year. His presentation was perfect! (How do you make the ‘best’ better?) The overall audience reaction to Tony’s presentation was outstanding!” –National Parking Association

Dr. Tony Alessandra
“Tony Alessandra delivers and then some! He’s engaging, entertaining and right on the mark when it comes to tailoring his presentation to the audience. His message works on a number of levels. It’s a talented speaker who can involve his audience right from the get go, and hold their interest throughout. When an audience is still talking about the presentation the next day, you know you have a hit. Tony is gifted.” –The American Automobile Association
Howard Putnam
“Your presentation Customer Service-Successful Strategies through Turbulence received excellent reviews from our attendees. They found your presentation motivational and inspiring. As we face the challenges ahead for NASA and our programs, it was very enlightening as well as timely to hear how you managed Southwest Airlines through some very difficult times. The many points you made will assist moving forward in our strategic planning.” –Occupational Health Support Office – Dynamac Corporation
Scott Klososky
“Once again, Scott provided an outstanding, relevant presentation that was well received. I am recommending him as our keynote speaker for next year! He is that good!” —NAFA
Scott Klososky
“Scott spoke on time and technology. His message was very current. It was clear that the message was written specifically for our organization. The information was complete, but presented in a very easy to follow and understand way. I would bring him back again…only next time I will give him more time!” –NAFA Fleet Management Association
Dr. Nido Qubein
“In the past four years it has been my job to find the guest speaker and I take it very seriously. The speaker must be funny, but not a comedian, he must be entertaining, but not an actor, and above all, the speaker’s message must apply to everyone. I know our sales people will think differently about people in jeans and sneakers. They will also be cognizant of positioning and never afraid of saying, “They come in a set.” Our leaders will be keenly aware of the difference between education and training, and everyone will remember your common sense approach to life’s challenges. I even had an employee ask for your address in order to write you. That, in 19 years is a first.” –Tasca Lincoln-Mercury, Inc.
Peter Vidmar
“Thank you for being so approachable and easy to work with. Your presentation exceeded our expectations. I can’t think of anything that you could do to improve it. You were very good at bringing the audience up, taking them down, and adding humor to make your points. They loved it. The overall reaction to your program has been extremely positive and your presentation rated the highest on our survey. You also did an outstanding job of tailoring your approach to the message of the conference and our particular audience.” –Bekins Van Lines
Michelle Gielan
“Michelle, thank you for the great presentation. I really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. At the end of our summit, I asked our participants to discuss what they took away, and there was a lot of enthusiasm for your talk.” –Sentient Jet
Desi Williamson
“Your enthusiasm and passion for what you believe in was evident in your speech and delivered with a powerful punch! Not only did you captivate and entertain the audience but also I truly felt your message was impressive and well received.”
–AutoNation, Inc.
Desi Williamson
“You accomplished exactly what I hoped you would. You got our delegates energized, thinking out of the box somewhat, and your idea of not reacting to change but rather creating change was “inspirational” —— ABSOLUTELY. We even had a few ABSOLUTLIES thrown out at the Chairman’s Ball the next evening. Desi, thanks again and best wishes for continued success”.
–CMSA
Desi Williamson
“This being our first member luncheon of the year, we wanted to find a dynamic and motivating speaker that would entertain and captivate our audience. And Mr. Impact, you ABSOLUTELY fit that bill. Your speech was entertaining and inspiring and presented with spirit and passion. We have received nothing but positive comments from our members, so I would say that your presentation absolutely made an impact that will not soon be forgotten.”
