John Amatt: Testimonials / Client List

“Our attendees walked away with renewed belief that they can push beyond their limitations and be more personally accountable for their own actions.”  
USF&G Century Club

  “Our guests were uniform in their high praise for your performance … Through the skillful use of powerful visual images and an eloquent description of your central theme, you instilled in all of us a sense of what is possible and what it takes to achieve great things. You were terrific!”  
Balboa Life & Casualty

  “The tone that you set was inspirational and pertinent. Many of our attendees commented that they could directly apply your message to their everyday operations.” 
American Management Systems, Inc.

   “John was an outstanding speaker – prompt, sharp, personable and highly accommodating. Combined with his stunning photos, John’s message riveted everyone’s attention to the stage. I can’t remember any previous audience following a speaker as intently as on this occasion.”  
MetLife

   “One veteran senior executive described your presentation was the best he had ever heard. Other senior executives have suggested that everyone in our organization should have had the opportunity to participate in your dynamic presentations.”
American Express Financial Advisors Inc.

  “The dimension you brought was emphasizing that risk is an intrinsic part of life and should be transformed into business in order to progress. The way in which you brought out the effect of teamwork and employing cultural differences to best advantage was most impressive, particularly the way you emphasized that change is an essential part of life.”  
Libbey Owens Ford

  "Your message is clear and compelling.  Your presentation is strong, yet compassionate.  Most of all, your integrity shines..."
Famous 5 Foundation

  "You were FANTASTIC, POSITIVE, and MOTIVATIONAL. You were everything we expected you to be. The audience loved you and admired you and received you with great pride as evidenced by the thunderous standing ovation."
Million Dollar Round Table

  "I particularly appreciated your insight into the important contribution a team member makes towards the accomplishment of a goal. Your enthusiasm and joy for being part of the process vs. needing to be the one (or two) who were to climb the final steps, was sincere and contagious . . . a lesson for us all. Sometimes in our personal pursuit of excellence and attainment of individual goals, we lose sight of the 'bigger picture' - that of the common goal. Thanks for reminding us. John, the demands of your travel must be great, and the compromises many, but you must know that your message touches lives. It reaches into places that some choose to ignore or are too hurried to consider. I am convinced that you, too, are touched each time you share it-you and Everest are of one spirit. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of it and of ourselves."
Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Kansas City

  "Without qualification I can say that your presentation to the attendees at the American Optometric Association's Meeting was the most dynamic even given to an AOA group. Your artful integration of the principles of leadership into your narration of your dramatic mountain climb was superb."
American Optometric Association

  "You have left us with a clear vision of what will be required of our managers, present and future: Commitment, resourcefulness, endurance, flexibility to meet the challenge of change, and above all, the courage to keep a clear perspective of the goals in spite of any adversities."
