Dean was a great fit for our global team meeting because his message about Progress Leadership was perfect for our company at this time. We are in the process of merging two companies together and we needed inspiration and attitude to make the needed progress quickly. Dean message was timely, energizing and funny but most importantly right on point.

Dean Lindsay was the perfect choice to keynote the Meineke Dealers Association Convention. His combination of contagious wit and sales and service insights inspired us to face the challenge of improving our operations, while providing us the template to make it happen.
Chris Schmitz, President - Meineke Dealers Association
We had Dean present the opening keynote at our leadership conference in Greensboro, North Carolina to our 500+ attendees and he did an outstanding job even when I sprung on him at the last minute that we had to change his presentation time from 60 minutes to 45 minutes. Dean was fantastic to work with, we had a call prior to discuss our business focus so he could incorporate some of our initiatives into his session which he did. He also watched our company President and CEO speak just before him and was able to "on the fly" incorporate some of their comments into his speech. A great partner.
Christine Gilmore, Vice President of Training - Bell Partners Inc.
Hi Dean, I really enjoyed your presentation at our recent Company Store Managers Meeting in Baltimore. I heard many positive comments from the managers as well. You brought great energy to the meeting, a very positive, up-beat attitude and pragmatic information for the attendees. I appreciate the fact that you spent time getting to know about our company before the meeting. That made your presentation that much more believable to our Managers. Use me as a reference whenever you want as I am a big Dean Lindsay fan!

Dean Lindsay provided a great keynote presentation to kick off our first 'live and in person' event in two years. His high energy, sense of humor, and real life stories blended perfectly together into a phenomenal start to our event. Our members could not have been happier with Dean and all of them raved about him over the entire conference. We would highly recommend him to return to our annual conference as well as to anyone else who needs a great speaker.
