Michelle Gielan

“Michelle, I just wanted to say great job on your presentation. Going into the summit, yours was not one on the presentations I was initially interested in, but leaving the summit it was the most memorable and inspiring. I’d like to put the ideas you mentioned into practice. Thank you for the inspiration and best of luck!” WiCON Network

Dr. Tasha Eurich

“Tasha Eurich was excellent and her energy kept the event moving for 90 solid minutes!  The entire auditorium was fully engaged, the information was relevant and I believe most attending had some real solid takeaways. Tasha was able to really connect with our associates because she took time ahead to the event to understand our business and our culture.” –Walmart

Shawn Achor

“Shawn’s presentation on happiness was absolutely amazing! Funny, engaging, smart, optimistic, and practical, Shawn inspired us to shift the way that we look at the world, and to make simple yet powerful changes in our own lives. His uplifting message had a positive impact on those who attended – the feedback we’ve received has been extraordinary, and people are still talking about his presentation!” –Goodwin Procter LLP

Sally Hogshead

“The Fascination Advantage is remarkably accurate, and has immediate applicability in terms of providing an actionable roadmap for team interactions! There are so many personality assessments out there, and this is the first and only one to give a clear road map of how others see you, to instantly know your blind spots, and work more effectively with others. I used this as an icebreaker at a recent all-hands meeting, and the energy was immediately moving around the room as everyone interacted on a whole new level.”  –Cisco, Inc.

Peter Vidmar

Having attended conferences for the last 20 years, Peter’s speech was a perfect “10”. He kept everyone engaged, enlightened and entertained. Amazing speaker!!!”  –E-Quantum, Inc.

Howard Putnam

“Mr. Putnam, we truly enjoyed having you as a speaker at this year’s leadership conference and your message absolutely exceeded our expectations! Thank you also for the signed copy of your book!”  United States Naval Academy

Dr. Nido Qubein

“Nido’s presentation exceeded my expectations. The message was very uplifting, so I’m hoping this will encourage our salespeople to set goals outside of work, which will spur on success in the workplace. He was a huge success with our audience and I’ve received nothing but positive responses.” –Solta Medical, Inc.

Michelle Gielan

“Great Presentation at the ALA Conference in Vegas! I was very impressed with your presentation, thank you so much.” Cummins & White, LLP

Shawn Achor

“Shawn was the ideal choice and the perfect change of pace.  He was hysterical, engaging and had the whole audience focused on how to make positive changes in their lives. ”–Insurance Industry Hedge Fund Investing Summit

Dr. Tasha Eurich

“Dr. Tasha Eurich is certainly a brilliant speaker—but more importantly, she inspires real change in organizations. She starts by deeply understanding her audience—in our case, engineers—and builds her presentations to address their specific leadership struggles. During her talk, she provides practical tools and plenty of time for participants to apply them to their own lives. After Dr. Eurich’s talk, there was a palpable “buzz,” and I heard repeatedly that people were applying what they learned right away. If you want to measurably improve your company’s leaders—and have fun doing it— I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Eurich.” –Government Affairs & Strategic Business Development

Shawn Achor

“An amazing event! It was such fun and so stimulating to have Shawn at Facebook! As we strive to help the world become more open and connected, remaining positive and grateful for meaningful and productive relationships is essential! Shawn’s ideas and research is very insightful to us as we think about our mission. Thank-you! –Facebook

Dr. Nido Qubein

“We were late in booking Nido which made it difficult to arrange a pre-event call and we had to send our company plane to pick him up, in order for him to even be at our event….and if we had only known what an amazing speaker he was, we would have bent over farther! He was easily rated the best speaker at our meeting…and that’s after hearing him on the first night when lots of folks were jet-lagged and he spoke after dinner!! We could not have been happier or more impressed. Truly an amazing human being. I hope we can work with him again one day. Thank you on behalf of our senior leadership group.” —O-I

Michelle Gielan

“I truly enjoyed your session at Allstate today.” AllState

Dr. Nido Qubein

“Our audience raved about your presentation for the rest of the day. You had many wonderful stories. I hope our team sees them as useful context in which to view their own struggles, either personal or professional. I personally was touched by the story of the Goldsboro doctor that subsidized your education at Mt. Olive.”  –W.S. Badcock Corporation

Shawn Achor

“Shawn Achor is an infectious speaker and can captivate an audience. He’s appearance was truly meaningful to my YPO members. I can already tell based on their responses that they have valued what he has said and are using it in their everyday lives. Thank you for making this possible!” –YPO-WPO America’s Gateway

Dr. Tasha Eurich

“I read and hear a lot about networking and building one’s professional network, but I liked that Dr. Eurich gave practical and immediately actionable advice. She packed a lot into a very short time.”–EnGen participant, Colorado Oil & Gas Association

Shawn Achor

“We invited Shawn to come speak to our most productive and successful financial advisors and we were uncertain about how he would be received. However, not only did the audience hang on his every word, but they have been asking us to bring him back to speak to their best clients and prospects. Overall, Shawn was a highlight of our conference and a huge success.” –UBS Financial Services Inc.
