“We had Amy as a guest speaker at our annual kick off meeting for staff. She was a fantastic addition to our program. She spoke for an hour, was engaging the entire time and had insightful stories to share. She had such an impact that when the event ended we had staff eager to speak with her further one on one.”  — Rakuten Marketing

Dr. Tasha Eurich

“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

Howard Putnam

“Howard Putnam did a phenomenal job at our event. He worked closely with us to customize his remarks to ensure that they were relevant to our audience. The result was a talk that was on point, inspiring and helped set the tone for the rest of the day. In addition, his willingness to talk informally outside of his presentation both with our executives and attendees was a welcome addition that everyone greatly appreciated.” –LRN

Scott Klososky

“Scott generated a huge amount of buzz at our conference. His ‘update’ on the impact of internet technologies on business-as-usual had everyone either stunned, stoked, or scared to death! You could feel and see and hear the audience involvement due to the unique interactive presentation techniques he used. He had a crowd of people around him for 30 minutes after his speech was over. And I overheard dozens of people talking about what actions they were going to take because of having their eyes opened by Scott.” –Service Management Group
