Dr. Tasha Eurich

“Our audience responded very positively to Tasha’s program. She led off our 3-day event and, throughout the rest of the event, our group repeatedly talked about finding a loving critic. You could tell that it resonated with the group on actions that they needed to take to think about self-awareness. She did a really fantastic job of adapting her presentation to emphasize and include the points from our company.  She also weaved in the messages we talked about with her own materials and I especially liked her description of manager vs. leader.”  – Matthew Neff, Chief of Staff, The Chamberlain Group

Dr. Tasha Eurich

“Thank you for being part of the Global Leadership Meeting! All 1000 leaders who attended were greatly impacted by your messages about self-awareness. At Gerdau, we believe in the importance of having people capable of performing admirable feats and prepared for the future. With that said, we are daily reinforcing that every human being is unique and has a singular way of contributing, so we value each person and their individuality. So, thank you very much for your time and dedication to share with us your thoughts and research. Your messages will leave an important legacy for the future we are creating. Thanks for contributing with that!” –Gerdau

Carey Lohrenz

“We thoroughly enjoyed the time with Carey.  The topics were spot on – reminding us to focus on items within our span of control, limit them to 3 things, and she re-energized us to align as One Team.  It was so great to have her and very timely – the perfect way to kick off our time together!  Carey is a fearless leader who can help your team become more aligned and laser-focused on key priorities.” — CHRO, Tri Pointe Homes

Peter Vidmar

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

Howard Putnam

“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.

Lisa Ford

“As I told Lisa on site following her presentation, she exceeded my expectations and they were pretty high. We have received nothing but praise on her message and she did an excellent job in customizing her presentation just enough, that she connected with my group. I had a number of them advise me that they have heard a lot of speakers over the years, but she by far was the best ever on the topic of customer service. In fact, she did such a great job, that my Crawford Canada team would like to make an inquiry as to a possible engagement with her presenting to Canada insurance industry.” –Crawford Contractor Connection

Dr. Tony Alessandra

“What a pleasure and honor to have worked with a professional of your caliber! On behalf of the American Fence Association, we would like to extend our sincere thanks. I do hope we will have an opportunity to work with you again.” –American Fence Association

Dr. Tony Alessandra

“Dr. Tony Alessandra established immediate rapport with an audience of 225+ sales professionals, demonstrated a pragmatic approach to improving customer satisfaction and retention through collaborative selling and ignited my sales team exactly as I had hoped. Well done and certainly a curtain call is in order!” –REED Construction Data

Howard Putnam

“Howard exceeded the expectations. He did more preparation than any speaker I have worked with on the front end. He also did a great job of tying his experiences at SWA and Braniff to the turmoil our industry is experiencing today. I also really appreciate that he came to dinner before he spoke, he really went above and beyond.” –Johns Manville

Howard Putnam

“The presentation by Howard Putnam was perfectly tailored for our group. He managed to hit all the points I had asked him to emphasize and did it in a convincing manner. He was interesting, funny and held the attention of our audience. We were very happy we had selected Howard to make the keynote address at our annual convention.” –American Concrete Pipe Association

Peter Vidmar

“A Perfect 10!!! The program was absolutely impressive. We enjoyed listening to Peter and felt that we understand the journey.” –The Bergman Companies

Dr. Nido Qubein

“I’m not sure what more to say beyond “thanks,” because anything more verbose that I might try to say will pale when compared to the elegance with which you inspired us today. This was the second time that I saw you at CURT and you really impacted me with your message of “becoming significant” and focusing on the fundamentals in life and business. Your story is amazing. My children are now 7 and 5, but they will both be college bound at some point, and I will strongly encourage them to High Point University. Based on your inspiration and my perusal of HPU’s website, I will seriously consider HPU when the time comes. I’m sure by then; you’ll have the top ranked school in the U.S.” –The Construction Users Roundtable

Scott Klososky

  • “Very good and useful in this line of business or in any business”
  • “Great information that gave me some fantastic ideas”
  • “Very thought provoking”
  • “Great speaker, should be brought back annually”
    -Mechanical Contractors Association of America

Lisa Ford

“Lisa was unanimously well received at our National Training events attended by 401 companies. The comments were all positive and many took time to personally express their positive impressions. I will add that Lisa “practices what she preaches”. Her customer service as far as being personable and easy-to-deal with was beyond reproach. I would happily recommend her as a speaker. I know the companies took away many techniques to help improve their customer service, thereby increasing their business.” –WinWholesale

Desi Williamson

“Desi took the time to become familiar with our company and products and understood who the audience would be. He tailored his presentation to our audience and made it fit “their world”. We would definitely use him again should we have another meeting of this type”.
–Tarkett Commercial
