Client reviews

  • I just want to express my gratitude and admiration for making our 2010 conference season so spectacular. We still can’t quite believe that 30 events could go so smoothly and that our keynote ratings could be so consistently off the charts. You are, without a doubt, the most memorable keynote speaker we’ve had in the past ten years — a span that covers more than 250 events. And equally important to us, you are the most professional speaker we’ve ever met. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you.

  • Your unforgettable segment was the perfect way to conclude our Forum. You challenged us to use our gifts, and to take action when we have the chance. On behalf of everyone who attended, and all 72,000 members of the Raytheon team, please accept my deepest thanks and very best wishes.

  • Dan was incredible!!!! The managers, staff and owner operators couldn’t stop talking about the session. I was looking for learning and motivation in an environment that would not be boring — Dan delivered exactly that. The juggling, unicycle, acrobatics, and the handstand on the podium were all tied to the learning.

  • I have had a number of attendees tell me that Dan was the best keynote speaker they have ever heard. They were so impressed with his unique delivery, and his presentation contained a great deal of content which spoke directly to their needs. He takes his audience through a wide range of emotional experiences including fear, happiness, sadness, and amazement. He motivates people to set high goals, seek challenges, and strive to be who they were meant to be. Truly inspirational!

  • We would like to convey our immense appreciation for your motivational performance. It was the highlight of our event!! Your extraordinary skill to inspire, entertain, and advance us all to the next level in life is simply incredible.
