Steven Ballmer, CEO, Microsoft "Thanks for your insight, candor, ideas, inspiration, enthusiasm and sheer presence at our annual conference. You made a real contribution to our program and helped elevate our thinking." "Your thoughts on how to create an opportunity for change through a customer focus is the excellence our team is striving for. The framework you provided on innovation, creativity and customer value will be instituted as a management practice to enable the technology infrastructure group to take Wells Fargo to the next stage." "You were fabulous! You received rave reviews from our participants for the relevancy, insight and expertise of your presentation material and style. I am convinced the extraordinary success of your contribution was due in no small part to the enormous amount of time you spent with us learning about our audience and personalizing your message." "I don't know any other speaker that could present after Bill Gates and 'wow' an audience of CEOs like you did! You were the perfect choice." "This is the third time you've addressed this conference and each presentation has been better than the last ... and I wouldn't hesitate inviting you back to a future conference!" "An audience of over 1,000 leading cable telecommunications engineers is certainly a challenging one. You not only kept their rapt attention, but also expanded their horizons. The positive feedback we have received has been nothing short of phenomenal!" "It came as no surprise that you were rated the top speaker in our audience evaluations. Your unique blend of wit and insight awakened all of us to the need to develop the knowledge network necessary to move to a 21st century mind set." "Yours was not a speech - it was an opportunity to create change. Not many presenters have the talent to make that happen." "Our people, without exception, felt that your ideas were provocative, original, and timely. Your entertaining style captured the audience and compelled them to listen, think, and apply your thoughts to their own professional and personal lives. You truly made a memorable impression on the audience." "I particularly want to thank you for the obvious time and effort you put into customizing your talk to our culture and needs instead of delivering a 'canned' speech. It will be difficult to find a speaker of your caliber next year!" "Your preparation in developing your topic around the meeting theme was remarkable. It seemed as though you had worked in our industry and knew of its concerns." "Terrific, Inspirational, dynamic -- these are the words that come to mind when I think about your presentation as our keynote speaker. There is a reason why the New York Times referred to you as "one of the top three business gurus". You demonstrated that at our Annual Meeting and for that we thank you." "By applying what I have learned from hearing Daniel Burrus speak I have been able to save two companies tens of millions of dollars while multiplying my salary six times in the process." "We are extremely grateful for your outstanding presentation about which we've received nothing but 'glowing' reviews--both about your message and your engaging delivery of it! Your willingness to spend time prior to the event understanding our special requirements and then tailoring your presentation really distinguished you from many of today's well-know speakers. You were, Dan, an absolute runaway hit! Thank you!" "Having 350 of the best life insurance people in the world...as defined by projection and earnings...people who claim that they have heard it all...to be so impressed with your presentation...is by no means an easy job. You did it...you impressed...you entertained...and you informed them, and you did it in a nice easy style." "Dan insightfully weaved his area of expertise with our audiences' need for information on the assessment industry. Overall, we found Dan's presentation to be focused and of sincere interest to our audience. I would personally recommend Dan to other meeting planners and would use him again in upcoming years." "I cannot thank you enough for the time and care that you took in preparing yourself for your presentation. I have been responsible for bringing hundreds of speakers to this campus in my thirty years here. I recall no one who was more careful to find out about his audience, more concerned that his presentation mesh with our program, or more genuinely interested in who we are and what we are doing. Your real interest in us was apparent in everything that you did. You bowled them over with the information that they needed and inspiration that they required." "Rave reviews are the best way to describe the powerful message you delivered. It was perhaps the most timely speech with the most on-target and useful information this group could have received. I appreciate the hard work and effort you put into detailing and customizing your speech for our organization." "You have a knack for making a potentially formidable topic accessible, interesting, and entertaining. In the best show business (and educational) tradition, you left them wanting more. You aroused their curiosity in an area many of them had given little thought to. In short, you met and exceeded my rather high expectations. I could not have chosen a better speaker to lead off the program." "The results of our survey are finally in and your keynote address was the most highly rated in the thirteen years this association has been in existence." "We will be using the momentum of your efforts to drive forward and rework the business strategies of all our business units, and for once there is an enthusiastic response to do this from the business units! For that alone, I thank you for your assistance and thoughts in putting together a most successful "strategic thinking" program for the company's executives. At the conclusion of the day you had commented that it looked as if big things were happening and you were right! Only, the magnitude of how big it really was didn't become obvious until the next day. The outcome was, to borrow one of your phrases, a 'flash point' for these people." "Your presentation helped our International Executives to learn concepts, specific tools and means by which to understand and profit from scientific and technological change and creatively apply both to our benefit...for the Communications Sector of Motorola." "Being able to deliver knowledge in a meaningful, entertaining format is an art. Daniel Burrus combines the two in his presentations." "Daniel Burrus' preview of our future was stimulating and thought-provoking. The audience was fascinated with his analysis of all of the futuristic topics so recently considered to be exotic but which are rapidly becoming an integral part of American business." "Mr. Burrus' comments about future technology -- and how we must all reinvent our thinking -- were right on the money." "Daniel Burrus' insightful look to the future is of extreme value to any manager whose function involves long range strategic planning. His firm grasp on technological advances combined with the ability to bring those advances to practical application makes his presentation a must for every manager." "Daniel Burrus' message was the ideal mix of technical and general information. He got the conference started off on a positive note, which many speakers say they do, but don't really. Mr. Burrus made good on his promise, and it made all the difference." The feedback we received from the attendees' surveys was overwhelming with regard to your keynote address. I'm convinced we could not have found a more appropriate or powerful keynote speaker" "I received comments from delegates that this was 'the best Opening Session yet' - which is quite a compliment, since we've had some terrific openers in the past. Your presentation was extremely informative and provocative, and challenged the audience to use technology in a different way to be unique in their field." "I can tell you that the effort you took to understand our organization helped in both enhancing our pre-meeting confidence that we made the correct selection of speaker as well as the credibility and applicability of your comments to our organization and the challenges that we face. References were made to your comments throughout the rest of our Annual Meeting as both support and inspiration." "I commend Daniel Burrus on providing our board with an enlightening and entertaining review of the impact of the technology revolution on our future. His warm, engaging style captivated members and guests."
