Disney “...thank you for a job well done. Everyone seemed to be quite impressed with the amount of research you did on the company and the way you integrated Parker into your presentation...it really set the stage for the rest of the meeting…” "Not only did our audience benefit from Jim's keynote - but his insight and presentation bode well for us in press coverage after the event.....Jim is a good speaker, lots of energy and his information is fresh because he lives the future life...not just talks about it." " Our team found your presentation timely, educational and, most of all, relevant for our professional and personal lives. Your address back in July aided immeasurably in helping the team think about the future in a different way and I wanted to personally thank you for that contribution." "I have been working with Jim for the past four years, and, without question, he is one of the most dynamic speakers and professional partners I've ever come across. Our audiences (internal and external) love him, and he works wonderfully with our customers. ....I'm willing to bet your first experience will lead to many, many more, as it has with SAP. I wish you the best with him....book him before someone else does!" “...the ‘What’s Your Tin Can?’ session was highly interactive, thought provoking, humorous and provided a springboard for changes in our organization. I also appreciated the way you tailored the session so that our industry was discussed and, therefore, the participants were engaged.” “...our intention was to wake up the conference attendees and to give them a glimpse of the future, and you succeeded on both counts. Your energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and your insights were informative.” “I can think of no greater keynote speaker presentation through which I've sat, and I am confident that we will be looking to use him again at future conferences. The thought leadership and action provoking sentiments that he evokes are truly remarkable. Without question, his insights are what many companies need as numerous organizations begin their climb out of some of the troubling days of late and into the revitalized times ahead.” “I knew from the moment you used a ketchup bottle to effectively illustrate how change impacts all of us that your presentation would be anything but typical. You were spectacular! ..... Feedback on you and your presentation were phenomenally positive. Our attendees were particularly impressed with how you demonstrated ways in which they could immediately apply what they had learned." "One of Jim's strengths as a speaker is the preparation he does in advance of the event, to customize his message so that it truly resonates with a particular audience. Our members started the day with Jim ...and were still talking about what they heard at the reception late into the night. 300 grey haired folks waking up to change and innovation... great job! ( this is quoted from our evaluation form ) Jim took the time to study our organization in advance of the conference, and our members appreciated that his message reflected the reality of the changes in their profession." “..it was amazing that you hit the target so precisely….your presentation was unforgettable and will be long talked about at future meetings.” "All the feedback I have received has been positive. Both on the message and humor of your presentation....Most of the crowd and management agreed that you were the best speaker we've had in the last few years. " "Jim really walks his talk! His commitment to preparatory research for our presentation was most impressive. Jim's material is powerfully relevant, practical and actionable. He engages the audience with humor, sharing of personal experiences and unfailing courtesy and respect for his audience." "....it was obvious that your research and commitment to the task were noted as you presented to the group and tied the conference theme to your overall goals." “...the preparation you did about the market prior to us engaging you and then the research for your talk were strong. You walked the talk…” “...your keynote was exceptional. I was approached by dozens of people who felt your speech was thought provoking, informative and entertaining....." "I received terrific feedback from my fellow YPO'ers about the time we spent with you last night. You really opened up some interesting and thought-provoking areas for each of them and did so in a 'no-nonsense'...straight-goods approach. Thanks for doing such a great job reading these people ….Great job!" "I have never had the pleasure of hearing someone speak to a crowd the way you do. You have an exceptional way of bringing together the old with the new, the reality of today with what is in store for our future." "Evaluations consistently rated your presentation 5 out of 5!" “I just wanted to pass on again my personal thanks for the excellent talk….there's no doubt your talk will provoke on going discussions at all levels in the BBC for months to come.” "Everyone thought that you completely underscored the importance of creativity and innovation with a presentation full of energy and compelling information." “Several registrants mentioned that your vision of the future helped to stimulate their ‘creative thinking.’ They especially liked your sense of humor.” “Your presentation was up-to-the-minute timely, possible only because of your ability to work with conference organizers in advance to determine our needs. This is a rare gift among keynote speakers, and greatly appreciated!” International Newspaper Marketing Association "…. your speech won, by far, the vote for best speaker/best speech/hot topic/most fun." "In the ten years that I have been organizing conferences I have not run across a more pertinent and energizing keynote presentation." “Your use of anecdotal information backed up by research validated your thoughts and helped create a platform for future thinking. We really appreciated your cooperative nature and your willingness to work with us to tailor a presentation to meet our specific needs….A friendly and down to earth presentation style is obviously your strong suit. All of our attendees were made to feel comfortable and part of the discussion.” "Jim, I enjoyed your presentation for the insurance industry. Actually I REALLY enjoyed your presentation. I found the statistics/quotes specific and as always amazing. Why more people don't wake up....is beyond me. I particularly enjoyed how you punched and poked at the senior executives in the room to get off their butts or be left behind. Well done!" "Energetic, refreshing, meaningful ...you definitively set the stage for the next day." "...you have an incredible talent of combining humor with well researched fact." "Your use of humor throughout your speech was very enlightening. Not everyone has the ability to blend it in and make it work! Well done!" "It was excellent Jim, all around, the talk, the faculty workshop, the panel! You served us extremely well, you were the buzz of the conference, set the tone and the pace, very informative, energizing, and dynamic. Well done!"
