. . . most noticeable for the audience was the professional care and attention to detail that you put into the front end planning for the presentations and the customization of the slide program to reflect our business focus and needs.

. . . we hold this meeting twice a year, and it is rare for a speaker to receive a standing ovation. You had every one of our 300 operators on their feet at the end of your presentation, w/c is a testament to you and your subject matter.
MacGregor Read, Co-CEO - Grocery Outlet Inc.
Your speech was very inspiring and beneficial for our operation. I immediately encouraged my people to adopt the briefing/debriefing process in our daily operation more seriously.

Thanks for presenting and spending time with the team at dinner. Your speech was a hit and we plan to use briefing and debriefing to move the needle.

Guest speaker hit it out of the park.

I have gotten nothing but positive feedback--you made quite an impression! I can also tell you that people referred to your presentation throughout the remainder of the sessions, and people are starting to adapt the briefing and debriefing mentality.

AB was very engaging when he showed up at our dinner and met our owner and CEO. And then he joined us for breakfast the day of his presentation to get to know some of the other attendees. His presentation was spot on for our sales meeting content of accountability and execution of a plan.
AB continued to follow up after our debriefing by helping me with my company debriefing situation.
Bryan Huston, VP Sales & Marketing - Acme-Hardesty Co.
AB, we have contracted many consultants and dynamic presenters over the years, but let me say, your work, with the "mission objective" assigned, was the best I've ever personally experienced. While I could go on and an, let me close by simply saying "great job," and we are looking forward to pursuing some additional special project work with you shortly, in some of our more challenging markets.

You were a huge hit at OPCON! Very applicable and timely. I had countless people come up to me throughout the day Wednesday and compliment on your presentation. It was really fantastic.
Tony Thompson, President - Papa John's Food Service
Once again, please accept my thanks for participating in the ADT National Account Sales Kickoff Meeting. As you know we tend to be a high-energy group and it's not often a speaker or a program really lights a fire under us but you did just that last week in Las Vegas. Your high energy, fact filled program resonated in a very positive way with the ADT National Account sales organization.
Bob Dale, Senior Vice President - ADT
I was blown away by the excellent presentation. As we are combing through the evaluations, I am not alone in saying that the experience was awesome.
Elizabeth Dahlgren, Vice President - Charles Schwab
Thanks again for providing us a World Class Speech at our PCS Annual Conference. Your message was a perfect fit for our group and our theme. Most importantly the term "Debrief" is the new buzzword at Russell as we continue to "Come Together" and focus on always doing the right thing for our clients, our associates and our investors. I commend you on your hard work up front, learning our business and our language. You seamlessly wove our themes and verbiage into your presentation and this was noted by all who attended.
Michael Winnick, Managing Director - Russell Investments
You were the highest rated speaker at our conference!
Bob Wenzinger, Director - PPG Industries
Thank you for your work over the last several months. Finally seeing your session come to fruition was terrific. The early anecdotal feedback is very positive, as is the feedback for the overall meeting. So, my immediate reaction is SUCCESS!
Lori Fouche, President - Prudential Group Insurance
Thanks again for all of your great work this past week. I have gotten nothing but incredible positive feedback - you made quite an impression! I can also tell you that people referred to your presentation throughout the remainder of the sessions, and people are starting to adapt the briefing and de-briefing mentality.
Paul P. Robinson, Senior Product Manager - Brother International
Interactive presentations are the top educational events and AB's was one of the best I have seen - a "10" definitely! His experience as a fighter pilot and the ability to transfer the same skills to leaders is fantastic! They came away understanding the importance of making the right split second decisions as a leader and the resulting impact on their teams. Chapters should sign AB up now for an exciting and dynamic flight lesson!
Yvonne Warner, Chapter Administrator - Young Presidents' Organization
AB, your speech and brief/debrief were extremely well received by the Partner team and fitted in perfectly with our conference theme. I'm hoping many Partners adopt this approach with their teams so that they become more engaged, aligned and continue to learn and develop.
