Reviews of Our Speakers

“Our ‘Harnessing the Strengths of Introverts’ fireside chat was an amazing success, more than 700 colleagues joined from 20 countries. We have been elevating discussions on personality diversity and the level of engagement was outstanding. Following the event, we received over 200 requests for more information and in the post-event survey, 97% of colleagues stated they have a better understanding of the strengths introverts bring to work and 95% of colleagues stated they have a better understanding of how unconscious bias about personality type can manifest at work. This is an extremely important component of diversity and inclusion and you have my commitment that we will do our utmost to support the inclusion and empowerment of all ‘quiet ones’.”
— Kald Abdallah, Senior Vice President at leading pharmaceutical company

His session was the highest rated within our event, with above average CSATs. We hope to work together again one day! “

I’d like to share my appreciation for her candor, for her vulnerability, for her engaging style, and action oriented ideas – it was very well received.  We’ve had strong positive feedback on the value of hearing from a speaker of Tasha’s caliber, and on how while being from outside Cargill, her message and content fit so well with our focus on personal growth. I can’t thank her enough for joining us and I hope that she also found the 90 minutes to be engaging and hopefully of value for her as well! –Sarah Jelken, VP Industrial Segment Leader, Cargill

It got everyone thinking about how consistent, small changes can really impact your life. Following the talk, we’ve created a 100-day challenge Slack channel for those who want to continue the conversation.

Thanks, Michelle!” –Thinkific Labs Inc.

One way or another, they were all able to relate through their own personal experiences. We need to have you back soon!” — SVP Marketing, Novo Nordisk

Reeves, Senior Development Manager, Duke Realty

Your talk helped galvanize the employee expectations set out by our CHRO and made them feel real. For me personally, it was a career highlight, and I will be forcing my entire family to watch the replay! ? We are already brainstorming ideas for implementing your suggestions, and we’ll be looking forward to seeing more of your work as it unfolds. I hope we have an opportunity to cross paths again.”  —Elaine-Marie (EM) Bohen, NetApp Director of Talent Enablement 

“Working with Carey and the SpeakersOffice team was a dream! This was our first all company event virtually and we were nervous on how it would go. Carey was ready to go, had a beautiful set, great camera, no wifi issues AND uses great software to show her slides on her video screen while presenting. She is the full package! Our employees loved hearing about her experiences as a fighter pilot and could have asked her questions for hours! We can’t thank Carey enough for bringing inspiration to our company after a crazy, unpredictable year!”– Erika Pare, Supervisor-Marketing & Communications, InTouch Group

“When our large women’s professional organization had to switch to a virtual platform for our 10 year anniversary event we were extremely nervous. Keeping energies high, keeping attendees engaged, and having your guests leave with a positive outlook like they would at an in-person event was at the top of our minds. We were recommended to Michelle Poler and instantly knew, after watching a few of her videos about transitioning to virtual, that she was the perfect fit for our audience. She brought so much enthusiasm and energy to our event, shared a message that was real and a woman at any age could identify with, and was so, so invested in the experience of our guests. Working with Michelle was a dream, especially during a time when there is so much uncertainty and unknown. People are nervous, and don’t know what life holds for them, but in that 1.5 hour program we saw nothing but smiles, happiness, inspiration and empowerment. Thank you Michelle for bringing us together and giving us all an experience we can hold onto forever.” –Rachael Romig, Executive Director of Events & Special Programs, Women2Women, Greater Reading Chamber Alliance

• Neil was an amazing and innovating speaker. The way he used the Zoom format as a tool versus a restriction was incredible and created such an engaging session.
• Neil was phenomenal, not just because he was an engaging speaker, but he gave tangible actions we can take and avoided one-liners and cliches. He spoke about his raw experience, which resonated, and gave easy to implement actions. Also LOVED how connected our team felt through these sessions, as we lifted each other up virtually while sitting at home.
• Neil was amazing – simple exercises I’ll continue on in life!
• Neil was my favorite speaker throughout the entire RISE series. He held the most raw discussion about being your real self in the workplace and learning how to find your happy. I really really REALLY hope that my colleagues and leadership continue to hear his messages and implement the changes he recommends so that we can build a better culture.

“Neil exceeded our very high expectations and we are hearing his name and work referenced across the organization, at all levels, on a regular basis.  We could not be happier with how he closed our meeting and left our audience on such a high note.  His presentation style, expert use of a virtual environment and tools, content, and takeaways are all contributing to internalization of his materials and message and commitment to lasting change – personally and professionally – at a time when we all needed it more than ever.” –Kelly McQuillan, Sr. Global Brand Manager – OASYS® Reusable, Johnson & Johnson Vision

“Michelle was a remarkable, inspirational speaker, and the virtual event was a huge success.  It was very well planned and the 60 minute time period (during the lunch hour) was perfect.  We received a countless number of comments about her energy, delivery and the overall success of the program.  Michelle and her team were very professional and awesome to work with!  Hats off to all for the PHENOMENAL job!” –Stacy Cohen, Director, Norton Healthcare

She visually captivated participants, masterfully presented the benefits of being positive and gave them simple tools and systems to acquire skills needed to reach their goals. Some audience comments included: Thoughtful and practical – really enjoyed the discussion; I thought the idea of ‘habit stacking’ was smart and approachable.  Great suggestion!; Wow!!!

“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

“Michelle has an amazing and inspiring message that is applicable to both personal and professional growth.  Her ability to adapt her talk to our primarily male audience was seamless.  I have heard nothing but positive stories of how her story is going to make our team step out of their comfort zone to grow.  The best part was she got 250 men to dance!” -Ingersoll Rand

“Neil was very well received by our audience. We’ve heard nothing but positive comments. Our theme for the event was ‘Beyond You,’ and Neil beautifully illustrated how a shift in perspective toward gratitude can help us to achieve this. He offered three simple practices to begin achieving a positive perspective and challenged our audience to choose one. I do believe our audience left intent on doing so. We appreciated Neil’s warmth and wit, his connection to and interaction with our audience, his vulnerability in sharing his personal triumphs, tragedies and lessons learned, as well as his straightforward approach to achieving the ‘awesome’ in each one of our lives. Well done!”  – AdvoCare International

“Michelle is an energetic and inspirational speaker. Her session scored a total of 4.8 (out of 5) with many positive reviews. Her keynote “Fear less, do more” influenced our franchisees in attendance to be fearless in taking risks and being bolder in their actions, all while being extremely positive and doing good within their professional and social circles. We look forward in collaborating with Michelle in future events.” –Pizza Hut Latin America

“Neil was fantastic!!! I cannot recommend him enough. He was engaged on the pre-call and nailed the presentation. Everyone loved it. They laughed, some cried, and everyone left with something actionable.  I think the following review I received from someone who has seen every Thrive Talk we have had sums it up:

‘I thought he was one of the best we’ve had in years in being an engaging storyteller who distilled latest science into a few simple lessons through a heartwarming and funny delivery.'”
–Allstate

Thank you for sharing your warmth and enthusiasm with us: Womenetics and Porsche.”  — Ellen Adair Wyche, VP Programming and Content, Womenetics 

“Neil Pasricha was one of my best picks to date as a keynote speaker! He opened at our National conference and brought the audience into a positive mindset from the get-go. Even weeks later, people have still be talking about what a great presenter he was. From start to finish Neil was baked in for our event; starting with the prep call where he went in depth on the types of questions he asked to get to know our company and audience, all the way to him actually mentioning names of our clients he previously met in the elevator and gym during the start of his presentation. As an event planner, those types of touches are unique to a speaker and show that he truly values what he does. If you’re looking for fun, interesting, motivating, AND thoughtful then look no further than Neil for your keynote!” –Director, Meetings & Events, Kestra Financial 

“Scott was the highlight of our conference! He has an innate speaking style that naturally engages the audience. Our attendees were completely tuned in and before he was finished, I had texts from attendees asking for a copy of his presentation and contact info. Scott’s content was spot on and the perfect springboard for our CEO’s presentation.”  –Keystone Insurers Group

“Shawn was amazing, kind, and generous with his time and knowledge on-site. Our team was enamored, as were all of our audience members. His presentation was funny, engaging, and insightful. Is Shawn a comedian disguised as a scientist/researcher? It takes a special person and industry leader to make information, that might otherwise get lost in a peer reviewed journal, come to life for vast and diverse audiences in a way they can relate to and find meaning. The room was also at maximum capacity – the fire marshal had to cut us off. We would HIGHLY recommend Shawn as a speaker!” – Jenna Fitch, Community & Conference Content Director, New Hope Network

I believe our attendees, majority who are women, will walk away being fearless. Having the confidence to step out and do what may seem the unthinkable and the unimaginable and make things happen. It was a great experience and the attendees raved about her continuously. She lit a fire and inspired the attendees to go out and get all that they could get from Conference and in their personal and professional lives.” —Yolanda Simmons Battle, CMP, Senior Meeting Planner, American Health Information Management Association

“We had the pleasure of bringing Dr. Tasha Eurich in to speak at KRT Marketing’s annual all-team summit. We used Dr. Eurich’s book, Insight, as the foundational theme for our multi-day summit — exploring both self-awareness and external awareness from teammates, clients and vendors. Dr. Eurich was extremely generous with her time and direction in helping us formulate our plans for pre-work, the live session, workshops, and post-event follow-up items. I would highly recommend Dr. Eurich to any organization looking to take a hard look at their team from all angles and provide a roadmap to become self-aware.” –Ryan Christoi, Managing Partner, KRT Marketing

“Sally’s presentation was as illuminating, practical and interactive as any I have seen.

“I saw Tasha Eurich at The Art Of Women in Leadership conference last month in Toronto. In a room full of thousands of powerful and busy women, she held a captive and laughing audience for over an hour. Her content was fresh and her advice, pragmatic. I immediately (and I never do this) went and purchased her book (Insight), which was more incredible content for work and play.” –Jennifer Adamthwaite

“THANK YOU again for the fabulous presentation at the J&J CDTL leadership forum.

I cannot recommend Susan highly enough and can’t wait to have her back at Workhuman!” —Kevin Mullins, Vice President of Global Communications, Workhuman

“Susan Cain keynoted at our annual marquee event and was absolutely superb.

This was one of the best experiences I have had working with a keynote speaker.”—Rachael Feigebaum, SVP, Events Program Producer, The Advertising Research Foundation

“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.

“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

“You are an excellent speaker and your event was a huge success!  You make it look so easy. You were our most well attended Bing Signature Speaker to date.” — Laura Mallatt, Bing, Microsoft

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.

“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

“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’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 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 

“Dr. Tony Alessandra – Sham Wow! Truly engaging speaker who worked with our team to understand our industry and customize his engagement.

—Ann Marie Gorden, Manager, Corporate Communications, KPMG US

“People thought she was very refreshing, honest and different.  It was wonderful to hear all of the comments on the way out of the venue, how they had never heard anything like that at a chamber event, great feedback!    I think people will be stronger and look out for themselves going forward.   I know I will!   There were many young women in the audience that LOVED her!” –Clelia McVay, Director of Events & Programming, Metro North Chamber of Commerce

“I cannot underscore what a terrific job you did with your talk and how much of a pleasure it was to have the opportunity to meet you in person. You have outlined an immensely important issue when it comes to promoting more effective personal relations and business success and we are in your debt for both discovering it and then marshalling such passionate and persuasive arguments for why the issue matters. Thank you as well for being willing to sign all the copies of your book that you did.”  — Rochester University

It allows the audience to draw parallels to their own life and realize that they too can take charge of their life and the changes going on around them. We would love to work with Neil again and will work our client portfolio to promote him and his personalized services.” – Centrifuge Media
