Michelle Poler

“IT WAS AMAZINGGGGGGGGG!!!!  The feedback we have received so far is overwhelming! Thank you!!! I want to share with you that last night at the gym, I did something I was so afraid to do before. For the first time, I did a handstand and saw things upside down. I felt so empowered after that, I allowed myself to grow more! Just wanted to share that with you. ?” – SC Johnson

Dan Heath

“Dan was fantastic. Zoom can be a challenge to hook and keep an audience’s attention but Dan used multiple channels to keep the audience engaged and listening.  Our attendees were very impressed and excited to talk upstream.” –Amber Weir, Project Director, NorCal4Health

Michael C. Bush

“Michael C. Bush presents the case for leadership effectiveness and a great place to work for all in a way that is educational and entertaining.  His data-backed info along with his obvious passion for great places to work drive home the fact that this is achievable for all if we deal with situations from the human aspect.  He made his presentation specific to our company and his use of humor made the event incredibly enjoyable.  He is also great at Q&A!  Save plenty of time for this part!” —Sandra W. Reeves, Senior Development Manager, Duke Realty

Dan Heath

“Dan is a engaging speaker and his communication skills led to a high level of success and satisfaction.  His exceptional presentation inspired our regional school systems to take steps to work “Upstream” to overcome barriers to fix the systems that cause problems.  After speaking at our annual Summer Leadership Conference, educational leaders left with a renewed enthusiasm for the commitment to work “Upstream”.   This important work shifts our focus from reacting to problems, putting out fires, and dealing with emergencies, to focusing our attention and energy to preventing them.  Dan’s keynote and work will have a great impact towards the success of the 100,000+ students in our region.” –Dr. Stephanie Gordy, Executive Director, Griffin RESA
