Minnesota Mutual One of the reasons you were at the top of my list is my respect for you individually and professionally. INSTEAD OF THE WASHED UP LINEMAN
Mass Mutual To tell the truth, I didn't know what to expect of you as a speaker. I remember that I had quoted you extensively for the presentation I gave our General Agents back in 1986 when you were still playing for the Patriots. Seeing you in person, however, was a world of difference. What a pleasant surprise! Instead of the washed up lineman who couldn't put three words together in a sentence, I saw a warm, genuine, thoughtful, responsive human being with a real story to tell. I heard someone who is comfortable with himself and what he represents - a life dedicated to helping others gain the courage to face their own barriers in life. SIGNING ALL THOSE AUTOGRAPHS FOR PEOPLE
Mass Mutual Everyone I've talked to about the seminar has commented on what an excellent speaker you are. From the minute you showed up early to the time you finished signing all those autographs for people, I felt like Mass Mutual's money was well spent. OUR GUESTS COME TO CANYON RANCH TO HEAL
Canyon Ranch Thank you for your lecture, "Transcending Competition: Completing the Past, Competing to Win!" The feedback from the guests was fantastic. Our guests come to Canyon Ranch to heal, renew themselves and start over. "RE-BUILDING CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS"

The Franklin Life Insurance Company Thanks again for delivering such a powerful message to our field force. You received many, many compliments! YOU HAVE CREATED A DEEP SENSE OF MOTIVATION
MapInfo Because MapInfo is experiencing such rapid growth, it is important that all of us are motivated by an internal force rather than just by a manager, a boss, or a supervisor. It is this sense of motivation that will hopefully promote individuals to take initiative, become leaders with the organization or to innovate positive change in our company. You have created a deep sense of this internal motivation in all of us. We will WAIT FOR NOTHING. CAPTIVATED THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE ADULTS
Nationwide Insurance Companies I want to thank you again for your outstanding presentation at our Annual Marketing Conference at the Sagamore Resort on Lake George. The feedback from our agents and managers was excellent. The feedback from the spouses and children was overwhelming! We have never had a speaker who so captivated the young people and the adults, the men and the women, the business minded and the non-business oriented all at the same time. MY SINCERE THANKS

Farm Bureau I have never met an individual in your position, a public speaker that seems to be as caring as you. You take your job and your position to a new degree when it comes to defining service. We don't take that for granted. DEVELOPING & MAINTAINING A WINNING TEAM
International Association of Convention & Visitor Bureaus A very belated note to thank you for your significant contribution to the success of IACVB's Mid-Winter Management and Education Conference.

APS Inc. I personally want to take this opportunity to thank you for the time spent with our employees here at the APS Warehouse. Shifting Corporate Culture And Raising Productivity
Among A Work Force Is Brian's Strong Suit I have volunteered to write this letter of recommendation for Brian Holloway. For close to a decade, I have been involved in a number of activities with Brian, including the Stanford Athletic Board, as well as a number of consulting assignments. Enclosed is my personal profile such that you may better gauge the value of my viewpoint. Brian has an ability to translate his championship character from the football field to business enterprises. I believe that too many of today's "business consultants" lack the ability. Shifting corporate culture and raising productivity among a work force is Brian's strong suit. His ability to take a mission statement and assist in translating it into sustainable action is the hallmark of his success. As I am sure you are aware, Brian is also an excellent keynote speaker and is able to reach people through his thoughtful delivery and careful preparation. Brian is Thoughtful About His Recommendations
Peter D.Goodson
Industrialist, Billionaire I would also recommend Brian as a "manager's coach". He is low key and thoughtful about his recommendations and delivers them in such a way that enables an executive to feel comfortable and still get the point.
