"I cannot tell you how lucky we were with Keni! Every single meeting attendee (and their spouses) raved about Keni. Many of my attendees said he was the best speaker they’ve ever heard. Now I’m just afraid I’m not going to be able to top him next year! " (keynote to 800 students) It was great to have Keni at Sloan Creek. I have had nothing but gushing praise from our parents. The kids were able to tell their parents about what Keni talked about. In our feedback meetings after Keni's talk, the kids were able to restate his message about leadership, about self reliance, and the benefit of preparation. The kids really appreciated having a quality, sincere, and entertaining speaker. The teachers loved him and felt he was well worth the cost. I just wanted to tell you how happy we were with Keni and his presentation. At first, I was a little skeptical about how well a military presentation would go with my faculty and then to my students; however, after hearing him and spending a considerable amount of time with him, I have to tell you that this was one of the best speakers we have ever invested in for our school system. I cannot tell you how many of our faculty and staff members have told me that they loved his presentation and that it was right on target for what schools are facing today. When Keni presented to our student body, I sat there watching my students who were mesmerized by what he was saying. Keni’s message not only spoke to our students about leadership but also about character and what you do really does matter. I would gladly recommend Keni, to any school across the nation for any kind of presentation to faculty or students. In fact, we were so impressed with him, we have asked him to come back with his band when he is touring and bring his message back to us again. "What a great night! Keni was amazing! We had a blast, he is down to earth, animated, entertaining and did exactly what I wanted, pulled in a big crowd! Our banquet in the past few years has been declining in attendance, while the economy and population around us in increasing. I wanted someone who would pull in a big crowd and Keni did just that. Two years ago we had 230 in attendance, last year 240. This year 475! Doubled attendance! " There was complete devotion to his presentation, and I was ready to fight when he finished. He has a tremendous message about leadership. At our 31st Annual Leadership Breakfast, members of our board and audience congratulated us for securing "the best speaker ever". Keni did a great job! "I appreciate the ease of working with Premiere Speakers Bureau. Your professional staff worked quickly and efficiently finding the right speaker within my budget for my event. Keni Thomas was riveting, keeping everyone on the edge of their seat. Great Job!" "I felt it was imperative to let Premiere Speakers know how delighted we were with Keni Thomas' message of inspiration and leadership at our recent National Sales Meeting in San Antonio, Tx. Keni exceeded my expectations." "It takes an energetic and inspiring speaker to gain the complete attention of 3,500 attendees in a luncheon session. But that is exactly what Keni Thomas did at our recent convention in San Diego. Members of the audience that had left the room came back to listen once he began his story and message of leadership and teamwork. Thanks to Keni, our attendees went home inspired to lead by example, to appreciate the people to their left and right and to be prepared in their support of our military forces." "Keni Thomas delivered a home run message at our event. His personality, demeanor, and all around presence connected well with officers, enlisted, cadets, and civilians. Comments about Keni ranged from one of the best three speakers I have ever heard to the best I have ever heard at the academy. Keni has an ability to connect with people, and is gifted in balancing a serious message with light animated humor. He has a powerful message to deliver in a poweful manner. Many of the senior leadership at the academy suggested that we invite him back to speak to more cadets. He not only met expectations but he exceeded them. Those who meet and hear Keni will be moved and changed. A must hear! An incredible, humble, gracious speaker." "Keni, I can not begin to express my gratitude to you for today’s presentation in Columbia-Brazoria Independent School District. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt in January ’07 that you were absolutely the right person for this wonderful back-to-school day. Then, administrative folks began to toss around ideas, but I knew that you were supposed to be in our district today. I truly believed that the message that you would bring to our team would make a difference in each individual’s life while gearing them up for another challenging year. I sat and marveled at you delivering the reality of the soldiers who tirelessly dedicate their lives to our country, and the way that you were able to weave this storyline into our professional challenges was right on target. You are truly a using your God-given talents, and you have been given a beautiful voice and musical abilities to open many windows of opportunity.
I truly feel blessed that our steps were so ordered and your path crossed momentarily with each of us. I am going to add you to my prayer list that you may continue this “good work” and also that you will take care of your physical, emotional and spiritual man. You have filled our lives with great joy and the spirit of leadership. Breathe, live, laugh and dance as you continue to embark on the mission that you have been called to complete." Your presentation "Fight While You Train- Train While You Fight", was an integral and vital part of our program and generated enthusiastic comments from our participants. Your participation went a long way towards enduring the total succes of the Conference. We could not have planned for a better speaker! Keni was beyond amazing...In almost 20 years of planning events, this was the best by far. I can’t tell you how powerful Keni’s visit was, the buzz generated by our small group of 150 in the audience was resonating through thousands the next day. It was even more of an awesome experience for me, as I was fortunate enough to get to know Keni on a more personal level. He is an amazing human being, and my life has been permanently changed for the better. “He stayed after and met with every student who wanted to be with him,” Grelle said. “He didn’t just sign autographs; he asked their names, what their goals were. ... He really made a difference in the kids.” "...we had Keni Thomas at our event at Coldwater Schools. I was very reluctant to contract with Keni,as I did not see how a soldier and country music singer would be able to relate to our Middle School students and community. I certainly have egg on my face!

WOW! Not only did he relate to our Middle School students,but also our High School students. I really did not expect him to be so in tune with kids, and the teachers could not believe how much time he would take with each student,and really made them feel special.

His message of "You are not Ordinary" really penetrated the students. Keni was at school in the afternoon, and was absolutely swarmed with kids,and he did not complain or make any attempts to get away from them. He made every single one of those kids feel special,and did not miss a single kid.

We have a high school student that was in a recent car accident,and was left paralyzed from the waist down. I had mentioned to Keni what this boy was going through emotionally,and Keni not only made an effort to spend time with him during the day,he dedicated a song to him at the evening performance. If that wasn't enough......Keni met with this student and his family afterwards. They were overwhelmed with all the attention, Keni really went out of his way. I think that this students Grandmother is still crying over what Keni did for him. ;-)

The bottom line,our school and community are still buzzing about Keni,and without a doubt, Keni is THE BEST speaker we have ever had speak to our students and community. If you ever have a school interested in contracting with Keni,have them call me directly. They need to hear first hand what Keni did for our students and community." What a fabulous conference! Keni was awesome!! Please make sure to thank him for me and send him another hug! Thank you for recommending him. After watching several of your suggestions, I knew he was the one and he proved it. The teachers left inspired and stayed to chat with him. It was beyond my expectations. I even took him out for Mexican food and one of our educational sponsors paid for his dinner, he was so happy. Our only complaint was that you didn’t make his outgoing flight later, he wanted more MEXICAN FOOD! "It was an honor to hear Keni’s presentation and sing for us at the Success Academy expo in Las Vegas last week! You are so moving in so many ways. Our entire Management Team from Thompson Plumbing, Heating and Cooling was there and without a doubt Keni was the best part of the week! Thank you for taking the time to be at our event and for all that you have and continue to do for our country!" "I just wanted to pass on my praise for one of the most riveting talks that I’ve had the honor of hearing in a long time. Throughout his speech I looked around the crowd and he had everyone eating out of his hand. What a fabulous story! His energy is so contagious! Please pass on to Keni how much we all enjoyed listening to him and for his courageous service to this country." "I cannot express how much I enjoyed the speaker, Keni Thomas. It was such a wonderful speech! I would definitely attend events again with him as the speaker. The best speaker ever! THIS GUY WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOWWOWWOWWOW! " Keni, We really enjoyed your talk! Your ability to wrap faith, patriotism and real life experiences with a message of inspiration and leadership is amazing. My prayers out to you to keep the message going strong. Keni's appearance was unique and engaging. He did a superb job of storytelling while always weaving a message of teamwork, duty and training. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. I repeatedly heard that he was the best, most interesting and most inspiring speaker they had ever heard. I wholeheartedly agree. Thanks for your assistance with our event and thanks to Keni for making it unforgettable. You were awesome! I must say that the consensus among all the attendees at our off-site meeting last week was that you were the best speaker we’ve ever had. In fact, many of our management team started their presentations this year by referencing you and the positive message you conveyed. Your story about the importance of training, being prepared for the unexpected, and the fact that each of us can make a difference was inspirational and thought-provoking. Your incredible energy was infectious and really got us off on the right track. I would like to thank you and your staff at Premier Speakers for all of your help in making our Armed Services YMCA Fundraiser go so well. Keni Thomas was AWESOME! We are still getting rave reviews about him. He was perfect for the Event. So easy to work with. He really cared. Friendly and down to earth. He took all of the time in the world to visit with everyone. No one felt rushed. Pictures, Book signings, everything. "In all sincerity, I heard comments about it all week, and many said you were the best speaker they have heard at any of our meetings (and we do this every year!). There were also a number of comments from the attendees on how inspired they were to do more in their communities and to make stronger efforts to support our military."
