Amy Blankson

“Amy’s focus on the power of positivity and happiness in the Digital Age has never been more relevant than now. She provided such great insight and strategies on how to shift your perspective and was able to captivate an audience of 100+ media professionals who often complain about zoom fatigue and falling prey to the chaos in their environment and surrounding circumstances. Amy shared so many great words of wisdom and actionable tips/strategies supported by research and science that really resonated with this group. We received nothing but positive feedback about Amy’s presentation.” – Christina Bailey, Senior Manager, Experiential Marketing, ViacomCBS

Susan Cain

“Susan Cain keynoted at our annual marquee event and was absolutely superb. Polished, relevant, and accessible, she connected with the audience immediately and held them in rapt attention throughout her presentation. Susan was our most popular speaker, and I would recommend her for any engagement. This was one of the best experiences I have had working with a keynote speaker.”— Rachael Feigebaum, SVP, Events Program Producer, The Advertising Research Foundation

Neil Pasricha

“Neil Pasricha brings a flavor all his own. His story is both honest and motivational. It allows the audience to draw parallels to their own life and realize that they too can take charge of their life and the changes going on around them. We would love to work with Neil again and will work our client portfolio to promote him and his personalized services.” – Centrifuge Media

Amy Blankson

“Your happiness message was a huge hit with our audience. Based on 90 completed surveys so far, your keynote received a staggering 6.62 out of 7 – the highest of the entire conference! Here are some of the audience comments:”

  • Great level of audience interaction! That “smile test” left a lasting impression on me.
  • Probably the best keynote of the event and one of the best I have ever listened to.
  • Excellent leadership brain food!
  • Very relevant today and glad The Channel Co is on the forefront of this.
  • Even a couple of days after hearing her talk, I remember her main ideas. Even those in our boardroom would make references to journaling, exercising or meditating. Great talk.
  • Excellent speaker, she was perfect, great takeaways and a real positive impact.
  • Amazing opportunity to focus on the soft skills for technology leaders.
  • These non-technical and non-solution oriented sessions are incredibly useful – more of these please!

—The Channel Company

Sally Hogshead

  • “I liked how Sally provided examples that resonated with a marketer’s P.O.V.”
  • “I felt she was honest in how she shared her low points and how she changed her tactics to overcome them.”
  •  “I especially liked how she focused on making people feel as if they are fascinating, rather than trying to be fascinating ourselves. Turning it outward, not inward.”
  •  “I appreciated how she brought in personal elements of her own story – how she sent personalized mailers to her stakeholders really stuck out.”
