“Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with some fantastic Keynote Speakers and Neil by far exceeded my expectations. Not only was he able to exude a dynamic stage presence while delivering an applicable and easy to understand message, he was able to do this while creating a true human connection with the audience through a level of humility that is rarely seen. On top of that, he was also a pleasure to work with in preparation for the event through his approachability and flexibility when partnering with our team. If I had three thumbs, I would give him THREE THUMBS UP!!!” –Katie Johnson, VP | PR & Communications, United Capital
Susan Cain
“On behalf of our Board, I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your wonderful talk. It was beyond gratifying to finally hear you in person and to feel the excitement in the room generated by so much collective resonating! From the parent perspective, you fulfilled a long held desire to shed some light on those kids who dwell in the corners of the classroom. Not to mention helping us see childhood experiences through a different lens. Wow – it was moving. Even for those of us who have already read your books, and listened to your podcasts, the live experience with you is so much more. You bring so much passion for the cause, empathy and warmth into the room.”
— Barbara Morgenthau, SPEAK SFO Co Chair
Neil Pasricha
“Neil is a dynamic speaker that easily connects and engages with his audience. The concept and idea of The Book of Awesome resonates is such a way as to not only cross industries, but cross generations. It is a welcome respite to our daily lives. We would also say that our teams loved everything Neil shared about the “The Happiness Equation” and the simple yet highly actionable steps we can all take daily to “choose happiness” by putting our actions first. Truly took a lot away from this presentation and would highly recommend to others!” — Al Reid, Managing Director, Saatchi & Saatchi

HOW Design Live couldn’t have kicked off with a more incredible opening keynote. Susan’s session was incredible and was just so fitting for our crowd. She set the stage and framed the event and the sessions to come perfectly! I heard so many compliments from our attendees. I will stay in touch and we will see how things work in the future for Susan to possibly speak another one of our events.
— Amy Conover, HOW Events
Dr. Tasha Eurich
“Tasha’s program exceeded expectations. She was cited by many of our clients as a highlight of our forum. The fact that she made a real effort to connect with them – understanding their role, the challenges of their job and terminology/jargon of our business – really resonated with the audience. I believe some of the tools she highlighted such as ‘What not Why’ will be adopted by those who participated. She was a true professional and made a real impact on our event.” – Michael Hessling, Chief Client Officer, Gallagher Bassett
Susan Cain
“Your talk was remarkable. People loved it. You have the incredible and rare capacity to be 100% human and authentic; 100% interesting; and 100% entertaining. Many I spoke to described it as the highlight of the conference.” — Susan David, Ph.D., Co-founder, Institute of Coaching at Harvard Medical School
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
Susan Cain
“Susan was outstanding, and people were blown away. We’ve brought a long list of accomplished speakers and thought leaders to Mercer Island, and I have heard a number of people repeat that Susan was the best speaker we have ever had. I personally agree. Her message is salient, timely and crucial—especially for parents and teachers—and she is also warm, witty, engaging, and articulate. She not only speaks softly, but with such kindness and humility that even when she disputes the value of group work in the classroom, teachers and administrators fully understand her without getting defensive. Back in the day when I taught, my Dean of Faculty described his job as “trying to herd cats.” I truly think Susan Cain would be successful herding even the most independent-minded cats over to the side of our quieter kids. On behalf of the entire Parent Edge team and Mercer Island Community, please thank her for her time, energy, and passion.”
— Jaymi Garvett, Parent Edge
