“Dan delivered an engaging and relevant session, specific to our topic and needs. We appreciated that he took the time to listen and understand our audience and event goals, and then delivered on multiple touchpoints. His production quality was incredible, with clear audio and visuals – taking a huge lift off our production team – and his ability to pivot between camera angles and whiteboarding kept the audience’s engagement. His session was the highest rated within our event, with above average CSATs. We hope to work together again one day! “

Dan Heath is a captivating speaker who will challenge your audience to think outside the box. Dan personalized his program to our company and industry, which multiplied the impact of his message. Dan was the highlight of our day’s program and our associates are still raving about his message!    –Dan Piotrowski, SVP Operations

“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

“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

“The Board of Trustees was fully engaged and appreciated the challenge he left us to begin to act more Upstream.  We have already taken the design framework and started to think differently, more inclusively, and more broadly.  He has already made an impact on how we are thinking about higher education.” —Lorrie Clemo, President, D’Youville College

“Our HR group was highly engaged and many of our team offered that they would ‘seek the bright spots.’  I think that was a concrete phrase and concept that our team will latch on to.  The lead up to and the program were excellent quality.” –Kelley Weil, EVP & Chief Human Resources Officer, BOK Financial

“Dan’s presentation was fantastic! His preparation, research and deep knowledge of business and technology connected with a global audience watching it virtually. Not only that, but he fully understood our company culture, values, and voice and translated those to the virtual stage impeccably. He is a complete pro in every way and we would welcome the opportunity to work together again in the future.”– Belen Alvarez, Communication Lead LATAM, Globant

“I do not think I would be exaggerating to say that Dan Heath was one of (if not THE) best speaker we have ever had.  … He is a fantastic presenter who has mastered the ability to deliver his message to an audience in a likable, engaging, entertaining, persuasive and memorable way.” —ManageCamp

“The seminar was a great success and I think Dan is one of the best speakers of the world at the moment (together with Marshall Goldsmith). He combines a very relaxed style with a very intense message. That’s a brilliant mix.” –DenkProducties (Netherlands)

“Dan was incredible!!!!!! He really moved us and now we are calling ourselves moment makers. Dan is funny, motivational, and one of the best presenters I have seen. He was a blessing and exactly what we needed.” —VANS

“I have booked Dan three times and he’s a slam dunk every single time. His last talk had our attendees laughing, crying and thinking differently about what they do and how they do it. It was one of the top 5 best talks I’ve ever seen delivered in my 25 years as an event strategist. He’s flexible and easy to work with. Most importantly, he cares—about you, your organization, and if what he’s sharing is truly resonating with your audience.” –LeadingAge

“Dan brought down the house and was the highlight of the conference for many of the folks. Thank you again for bringing such a rewarding and valuable message to our group!”
