Many people remarked that Jim's message was so well delivered it didn't matter if you were a hockey fan or not--his message resonated with everyone in the audience in different ways. People keep telling me how awesome it was to listen to him speak.

To say that you contributed to their 'education' would not properly state the case. I feel that you got through to them on a level which I will never be able to reach. I must say that I loved the way you challenged them.

You were a huge hit and stole the show. Look at the ratings and the comments section. Nice work. You should feel proud. You nailed it!

What a terrific job you did at our meeting this week. We had unbelievable positive feedback from our management team on how upbeat and entertaining you were, as well as your ability to weave the MD&A leadership & teamwork message into your theme.

We adopted the tag line "Success is a Team Sport" and Jim's delivery was right on the mark! Jim did a superb job of weaving the Sunkist story seamlessly into his Olympic experience. Our senior executives are not easy to please and they were pleased!

I had a number of people throughout the meeting saying, 'I can't wait to get back and get going . . . We are going to kick the crap out of our enemy.' One person (a major 'rain cloud') came into my office, shook my hand and said, 'That was awesome!'

Your message, and the way you wove in John's leadership philosophy and our team's vernacular, was just incredible. We sincerely appreciate your time - you and your team certainly "prepare to win" - and the impact you've made on OneNA. To say the team is fired up is an understatement!

Working with Jim and his team is an absolute pleasure! We consistently have an amazing experience and Jim always gets outstanding feedback from our clients. We highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a phenomenal speaker!

Jim's speech was everything I hoped for and more. It is one thing to impart the right messages, but a true motivator inspires action and that Is what Jim accomplished. Having Jim as the keynote speaker for our team was a great decision with overwhelmingly positive results. I would strongly suggest to any company looking for a motivational speaker to make the same choice.

Jim nailed the virtual presentation and his focus on "training to win" and what it takes to win was extremely motivating. One of my favorite quotes was, "taking the harder right over taking the easier wrong". It is so easy not
to have the hard conversations in leadership and to not do the uncomfortable work or fooling yourself into thinking you are taking the harder right. This message hit home with our team and we have discussed it quite a bit. We are
a tighter group because of it and I thank Jim for it! He taught us there is a certain grit and grind it out attitude you must have to win! In a challenging environment, like we are experiencing today, this message was perfectly timed. We are on our way now and know what it means to train to win not just to train to compete.

The leadership from our organization has been working with Jim Craig and Gold Medal Strategies in various ways for many years...Jim and his team are experts at developing materials that are relevant to our leaders. Jim has a natural talent for pulling out greatness! He challenges you to think differently, push harder and develop exceptional work through these calls. Jim will push you and challenge your team. He has helped me grow my leadership exponentially and is an amazing performance coach! I highly recommend Jim & Gold Medal Strategies!

If you are looking for someone who delivers at the highest level of motivation and professionalism, look no further than Jim Craig. Jim personalized his presentation to our audience while at the same time, touching on the key elements that have impacted his life, as well as the amazing events that have shaped who he is. I have been involved in securing and working with speakers for over 37 years and I can say, hands down, Jim is one of the finest people whom you will ever work with.

Working with Jim and his team is an absolute pleasure! We consistently have an amazing experience and Jim always gets outstanding feedback from our clients. We highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a phenomenal speaker!

Our virtual keynote with Jim Craig was a huge success. I was personally very impressed with the Gold Medal Strategies team from the beginning, where they took the time to truly prepare and get to know our organization's aims and strategic objectives, ensuring Jim's message would perfectly align. On the day of the event, Jim was very well spoken and natural behind the camera, and I believe his message was empowering for everyone tuned in. Jim did an excellent job at bringing everyone together during a time of great uncertainty. After speaking with passion about motivation and inspiration for about half an hour, Jim then engaged the team in a Q and A session, answering in an open and thoughtful way. I have received nothing but positive feedback and can't recommend Jim and the Gold Medal Strategies team enough to bring your team together when the world is currently keeping them apart.

The Gold Medal Strategies team was inviting, very professional, easy to work with, and committed to understanding our business and objectives specific to our event. Their willingness to spend time with us in preparation and to truly share our vision resulted in a uniquely personalized and special event that delivered the exact message we were looking to deliver.
