Jeff Wolf: Testimonials / Client List

“From start to finish, working with Jeff Wolf was a great experience. Booking speakers for my association’s events has its challenges, as we have members at all stages of their careers, plus supplier members. Hiring a speaker who can captivate my diverse audience often proves difficult. This time, I hit the nail on the head by selecting Jeff’s carefully crafted leadership program for my event. Based on the evaluations, our attendees felt the program delivered state-of-the-art information and noteworthy leadership reminders. I always ask my presenters to provide a list of take-aways so attendees can immediately begin to use what they’ve learned, but some never follow through. In contrast, Jeff’s bullet-pointed action steps were outstanding!

I would recommend Jeff to any group looking for an informative, energetic presenter—no matter the audience. Thanks, Jeff, for making me look like a rock star!”
Katie K. Voorhest, Marketing & Education Coordinator
Indiana Society of Association Executives

"Jeff Wolf's leadership presentation at our annual corporate retreat was inspirational and educational to our company's management team. For the last couple years, we have been extremely focused on improving our systems, procedures and homebuyer experiences trusting that this would also result in an even better work environment for our employees. Unquestionably, Jeff took our efforts one step further showing us that as leaders it is our responsibility to take an active role in managing our employees' work experience that spans beyond processes and procedures. His presentation made clear that we can all improve, provided us with some ideas on how to improve, and gave credibility to how these actions will benefit everyone involved."

"Your motivational keynote presentation was a perfect way to kick off our “Business Planning Retreat”. From the moment I began working with you I could tell that you were the perfect addition to our program. You were always approachable and very interested in learning as much as you could about your audience, to tailor your presentation to our industry. Your passion, energy and inspirational stories helped us walk away motivated and inspired to carry on with our retreat objectives. A job well done!"

"I want to thank you for delivering the Consultative Approach to Business Development and Overcoming and Handling Objections workshops at Caremark's annual sales training conferences the past two years. The feedback from our sales team has been tremendous!

The programs were informative, entertaining and the hands-on exercises made it easy to incorporate the information into our sales process. Sales people can be a tough audience, but you did a terrific job of motivating and educating them and the survey feedback validated that everyone came away with great ideas they can immediately take back and implement.

Your ability to customize each workshop was a key to your success as you were able to use our terminology and real life examples which really resonated with the attendees. Lastly, you brought together a wealth of information and put it into a format that was easy to understand and follow.

Jeff, thanks so much for the excellent programs you presented and we look forward to having you back for many more!"

"Thank you for customizing your presentation, “Delivering Exceptional Customer Satisfaction” for the Los Angeles chapter of Community Association Institute. Your approach to Customer Satisfaction captivated the audience by engaging them to participate in the presentation and providing a refreshing delivery. Every attendee was all ears and taking notes during the entire presentation. Taping the presentation to share with everyone in the CAI chapter with the sponsors’ testimonials was a major success. Jeff, you left the room vibrating with enthusiasm! We look forward to working with you in the future."
Linda Cardoza, Program Director,
Community Association Institute, Los Angeles Chapter

"Jeff Wolf received rave reviews for his session, The Essence of Effective Leadership, presented at our Women’s Leadership Summit. His session attendees described him as, “an engaging speaker passionate about imparting knowledge; extremely motivational and inspirational; an excellent session presenter~ the best I attended.” In addition to his outstanding speaking skills he also shared some terrific ideas for enhancing our next conference. I highly recommend Jeff Wolf!"

"I asked Jeff, who is one of The Sporting Club members, to give a broad presentation on customer service and satisfaction. The Club Managers all attended and later we had a short breakout session on the presentation.

We all found Jeff to be very engaging, he kept our attention the entire 2.5 hours (and with this group that's not easy!!) The material was interesting and tailored specifically for the fitness industry. Because Jeff took the time to make sure his presentation was geared to our club, the Managers were able to relate to everything he discussed. We left feeling re-energized and re-motivated with the common goal being that we give our members the best customer service possible. We are currently brainstorming on how to do that and how to make our club the best health and fitness club in San Diego. We all look forward to having Jeff back!"
Teri Pickett, General Manager,
The Sporting Club

"Thanks so much Jeff, for helping to make California Staffing Professional's Owners Only Retreat, to be the greatest one yet. As usual, you were dynamic, energetic and had a great message to deliver to our attendees. I know that everyone went away inspired, enthused and ready to reach for those new heights. You've proven yourself once again to be a Key Note speaker that everybody wants to hear again and again. Some of the comments that were made by our attendees tell us that you were definitely one of the highlights of our two day event."
Judy Lawton, Event Director,
California Staffing Professionals

"Thank you for providing such a strong keynote presentation for our annual conference! Your insights and enthusiasm gave our membership great ways to effectively lead by example. Both our senior, more tenured members and our more junior folks were inspired to do great things! Just days later I've looked to employ many of the ideas presented at my firm."
Adam Severson,

"Your presentation was great! We had a very diverse audience; everyone from middle management to upper management and you reached out to everyone and had something to say about all levels of leadership. It was information everyone could grasp and take away!"
Sarah Bruckner, Community Relations Specialist,

"Jeff, we found you to be very energizing and uplifting. Your speaking style and voice inflection was a perfect match for our sales team and you provided some basic yet very important skills that we have applied and put to use the minute the conference ended. Sometimes as managers we forget to use common sense in dealing with our employees and as we kick off the new year with motivating our sales staff, it couldn't have been said better!"
Elaine Ramirez, Director of HR,
EMC Captiva Software

“Jeff offered helpful insights on new approaches and effective execution of cross-selling and business development in general. It was good to have the importance of marketing reinforced. Jeff's telling of real-life stories was also a good teaching method.”

"As secretary of Legal Marketing Association Southern California I would like to personally thank you for your very communicative speech. The fact that you engage the audience while giving your presentation is priceless. The part I really could relate to was when you said that writing a personal note is a lost art -- you are right and that is why I devised a letterhead cardstock notecard that fits into a number 10 envelope used for just that purpose. Thanks again for making our luncheon a success; your stories were very poignant and on-point."
Patee Barta, Secretary,
LMA Southern California

"Thanks very much for presenting The Essence of Effective Leadership to my CEO Effectiveness Group. We have a top rated business speaker to our group every month so our members are accustomed to ‘the best’ and they are also very weary of speakers with a so-called list of successful techniques to transform them all into highly effective leaders.

On every account, your presentation hit a homerun out of the park. Virtually every person had high praise about our meeting and about your excellent presentation. Several labeled it ‘the best meeting of the year’ which says a lot because we have had many very good meetings. Not only are you an interesting/entertaining speaker, but your talk is crammed full of easy to understand and apply approaches that each person can take back to their company and put into practice. I know of several who have already started applying some of your ‘Coaching’ ideas.

Jeff, you are a reason CEOs join my group and it’s speakers like you who give them the kinds of skills that make them more effective leaders and more successful business managers. Thanks so much, we are already planning your return to the group."
