| “Desi’s specific message to our 2007 Minnesota Vikings team is far and away the best I’ve heard in my 30 years of coaching! He has a compelling life story which he’s able to make come to life as he builds it around team, family, values and goals. His delivery had 61 professional athletes and coaches (a tough crowd) riveted. The greatest part of his talk was relating to the group with interaction and research that he only could have known by doing an extraordinary amount of detailed homework. Desi pulled a group of young, rich guys with big egos together with a unified message of how to live their day to day lives ‘with impact.’ We will attempt to have Desi as an integral part of our future at the Minnesota Vikings for as long as we can retain his services. SIMPLY THE BEST!” Minnesota Vikings |

He provided a message that reinforced our meeting objectives in a very memorable way. He received a jump-up standing ovation when he finished -- something that most of our speakers do not get. He is by far one of our all time great speakers. All in all, Desi was effective, articulate, spellbinding, and wonderful. He's a fun, positive person to be around -- very easy-going and low maintenance. We more than got our money's worth to be sure. All of us agree there just aren't enough compliments and big fancy complimentary words to go around for Desi! Hy-Vee |

| “Coming into this year and this meeting, our goal was to re-instill confidence in our organization and make them believe they could be hugely successful if they had the proper mindset. Your message, powered by your attitude, energy, and enthusiasm went a long way to making them believe they could…I think what the group really enjoyed was the fact that you personalized your story and you took the time to learn about us and how your message could make a difference for us. Not many speakers take the time to learn as much as you did about our company and our business; as a result, the audience felt as though they could connect with what you were saying and that you were speaking to them. The feedback was very positive and the clamor about your address lasted for weeks following the meeting.” Abbott Virology |

| “Attendees of the 2010 Governor’s Summit on Workforce Solutions were treated to a fabulous and energetic speaker.
