“I couldn't be more pleased after having you as our guest speaker at RossWorld 2006 conference in Atlanta…I was amazed, even though I had watched your promotional DVD and mostly knew what to expect. I still watched your performance with excitement. It was so wonderful to watch how you handled the audience and how they responded to you. You are truly a star.
But what blew me away was your performance on a personal level. It is so rare to work wih a guest speaker or performer who is so approachable and such a joy to be around. When you agreed to also attend our evening function, you really seemed to be having a good time, and that positive energy transferred to our guests. It was apparent that the audience really connected with you, as people just ambled up and started conversations as if you were an old friend, not a stranger thay had just seen on the stage for an hour that morning.
'Excellent session…best keynote I have attended!' 'Wow, how did he do that?'
Thank you again for wowing my attendees, making me look great, and just being such a nice person to work with. I can't wait until next time (yes, there will be a next time)!”

A lot of people were hesitant about coming up to the front of the group, but he made them feel comfortable about it and never embarrassed anyone. We are still wondering how he does what he does. I've planned these events for this group for six years now, and have received more positive feedback from this one event than for all the others combined. ”
