Dr. Tasha Eurich

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! You were fantastic! I will definitely recommend you to others who are looking for speakers. Your presentation was very insightful, funny, engaging, and really resonated with the audience.  We have had overwhelmingly positive feedback from the event.”
– Xan Pearson, CEO & President, Colorado Thought Leaders Forum

Neil Pasricha

“Neil was incredibly attentive and intentional about delivering a message tailored to the needs of our group. He shared valuable insights with humility, humor, and authenticity. He was inspirational and thought provoking. People were moved to laughter and tears at different times throughout his presentation. They were 100% engaged the entire time he spoke, and have continued, even a month later, to talk about the lessons they learned from him. I’ve heard lots of feedback and interest in beginning practice of the “2-minute morning” routine and I think everyone really appreciated having these types of practical suggestions. I could not be more happy with the outcome! Neil is truly amazing!” – Healthy Families America

Michelle Poler

“Michelle’s workshop was the most well-attended of its kind, especially for our youth attendees, at our 2018 Annual Conference, and definitely one of the most talked about. Her talk was energetic, relatable, and down-to-earth, and offered insights that it takes many of us a lifetime to learn. We hope our attendees really take to heart her lesson about thinking about their fears as opportunities.” – UNIDOS

Amy Blankson

“Bravo & thank you! That was a fabulous hour of learning about strategic happiness. I loved your energetic presentation style and how your storytelling brought the slide visuals to life. These enthusiastic responses from participants demonstrate how effective the content was for our Habitat audience:”

  • “Thank you for an awesome hour of great thoughts.”
  • “Great webinar. More staff need to listen to this!! Thank you.”
  • “Appreciated the practicality of the suggestions and the resources that were shared for follow up.  The suggestions can be simply integrated into life which is great.”   
  • “Great information and I like the ideas for putting the concept into practice.”
  • “Thank you for the reinforcement that happiness is a choice. Simple concept but I think we tend to think of happiness as more complex.”
  • “The useful steps to facilitate change were awesome!”
  • “Interactive questions were engaging.”
  • “I like the fact that Amy gives you actual steps to take to work towards be more happy.” –Habitat for Humanity International

Michelle Gielan

“Michelle Gielan’s buoyant, poignant, and uplifting message was the cornerstone of our entire three-day event.  Because of the power and eloquence of Michelle’s message, we specifically crafted our attendee experience and engagement strategy to align and underscore the influence of positive communication and “Broadcasting Happiness.”   Michelle’s warm, inclusive, and elegantly polished delivery brought our group of 200 into her enchanting inner circle.   Our group includes data geeks, research nerds, and senior business executives…a diverse group that expects that theory is backed by proof.  Before Michelle’s presentation, some were concerned that her message could have been considered subjective, or potentially even emotionally squishy.  Well, the doubters weren’t doubters for long – Michelle and her message not only resonated, but also transformed our audience to adopt the challenge of radiating happiness.   Including Michelle Gielan in an event is to ensure happier, more productive, more successful outcomes for your group.” –The Incentive Research Foundation

Your session received rave reviews.” –NC State University

Howard Putnam

“Thank you for your hard work to connect with the students of Montana State University. We’ve received great feedback from your lectures. Your advice, anecdotes and photos were meaningful and inspiring to many in the room. You were the perfect inaugural keynote lecturer for MSU Career Week, as you set the tone from the ‘employer’s perspective’. The students were anxious to have more time with you and most of them will remember that experience for a long time to come.” –Montana State University

Howard Putnam

“Your words were inspiring and your down-to-earth advice for navigating the sometimes rough skies of ethical decision making were right on-target. We could not have asked for a more appropriate—or a more entertaining—keynote speaker for this year’s event.” –Goodwill Industries International, Inc.

Dr. Nido Qubein

“THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! They/we LOVED your presentation. Really hit them between the eyes. Sometimes CEOs get jaded, but you spoke directly to their nature, and they were captivated. And it was a pleasure for me to meet you personally after hearing about you for three years. Everything they said was true – and good, by the way!” –CEO Council of Tampa Bay, Inc.

Dr. Nido Qubein

“Nido, My thanks to YOU for being everything (and more than) you promise! That’s not always the case in the world of professional speakers. Imagine promotional material that is actually TRUE!!” –Action For Children

Shawn Achor

“Excellent. By far the best speaker we have ever had in any company meeting I have attended. He was funny and entertaining and best of all, gave us advice that we can easily follow, if we choose to do so. He was brilliant and I am so grateful to CCC for bringing him in to speak with us.”

  • “Really enjoyed Shawn Achor and I am excited to read his book.  I want to say thank you for giving us a speaker that was more focused on us then the company!”
  • “Awesome.  I liked how it was not just a lot of fluff.  He clearly had a lot of science to back up his assertions.”
  • “Very dynamic and wonderful speaker – already trying some of the things he mentioned Fun-fitness-doubler-3 gratitudes.”
