You did it! On short notice you filled a critical slot at our Business Development Conference and triumphed. Your opening keynote was right on. You did exactly what you promised by establishing an upbeat tone that greatly contributed to a very successful meeting. Your customization was strong. You were attentive to our issues during our preparatory discussions. Then, you delivered the material seamlessly in your presentation. You really connected with our franchisees. I know because many told me. Jim, you achieved the nearly impossible: You not only met but you exceeded my expectations. Thank you for an outstanding presentation. It is great dealing with a true professional.
Our conference attendees are demanding and come with high expectations; it becomes a challenge to impress them year-after-year. You "wowed" them with your colorful skydiving stories interwoven with your talk about taking calculated professional risks and facing fear to excel in today's various business environments. As Project Manager for the conference, I was most impressed with your thorough preparation and strong desire to meet my expectations as well as those of our attendees. I appreciate how closely you worked with me and our management team to customize your presentation for the purposes of our conference and the needs of our audience. Your arrival the evening before our event to oversee the AV requirements and room arrangements was extremely helpful and ensured that every detail was considered. Your meticulous planning and outstanding message provided all of us with a high point in our 3-day conference. Thanks Jim for a G-R-E-A-T job!
"Terrific! Amazing! Excellent times five!" These are words and phrases that have been used to describe your presentation. I took a risk getting your name off of the Internet, but it was a risk well worth it! In all honesty, I have heard horror stories about working with outside speakers. Your professionalism and organization made you a breeze to work with. You truly made the effort and took the time to learn about our company. You took your experience of risk-taking in sky diving and made it relevant to our supervisors. What a rare gift to find someone who knew our company like you did. This will motivate our supervisors to face change head-on and take risks for personal and professional success and growth. You were the icing on the cake ( an excellent ending to an already great conference.
Thank you so much for your excellent and delightful presentation to our sales force in New Orleans. You made an outstanding contribution to what was termed the best sales training event in years. It was most enjoyable to work with you in planning your role in the overall sales training program. You showed great interest in Hewlett-Packard and what we wanted to accomplish with the program. Your Pre-Program Questionnaire allowed members of our team to help you focus your presentation specifically for us. And you did not stop there. Your early arrival and active participation with the many of the attendees allowed you to get even closer to us. All of this added significant meaning to your presentation. Our people were especially excited to see you parachute from a plane wearing our event shirt and carrying the Hewlett-Packard flag. I am sure you sensed their enthusiasm after your presentation when many approached you for further discussion, photos and autographs. It is very difficult to find the right motivational speaker for a highly educated, very experienced technical computing sales force. You were a perfect fit for us. Your focus on taking risks to improve personal performance was just the right subject. Your ability to add sky diving to the venue allowed us to break from a tightly packed technical agenda and just get out and have a good time! Jim, it was a delight working with you. I would heartily recommend you to others
The response on your presentation was very positive ... in fact, yours was one of the most popular presentations during the entire conference! I know your message really hit home with many of the attendees, which is testimonial not only to your speaking talents, but also to your ability to customize the message to tailor-fit the audience. From a personal standpoint, I would also like to thank you for going "above and beyond the call of duty" to make this a successful presentation. We hit roadblock after roadblock in our plan to have you skydive into the conference, but you were consistently willing to go the extra mile to find a solution - and when, at the eleventh hour, we had to decide whether to scutte the jump due to high winds, you were frank about the options and even offered several positive suggestions to make the best of the situation. In short, it was a joy working with you. Again, thank you for a truly top-notch presentation.
On behalf of First Union National Bank and the Information Technology Division, I want to extend our warmest thanks and appreciation for your presentation to the IT management group. The presentation was very well received and fine-tuned to our specific group and level of management. I believe the up-front time you spent researching our institution and the interviews you conducted allowed the message to be particularly relevant to us. Also, the method used to get willing participation from a number of the management group - and this is a tough crowd - really drove the message home. The end result was that this turned out to be the highest rated Leadership Meeting we have had. Not only did it focus on the transitional and tumultuous time the group is facing but also it continues to be brought up as the standard for future meetings. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your message, and the energy you brought to us. More motivational speaking client responses >>
