Verified @nma1.orgTim is the consummate professional. Tim will do his homework, he'll reach out to you BEFORE you leave for the Conference, he will show up early, he will be prepared, and you will ask, "Why don't I use Tim EVERY year?" Tim topics are timely and updated, and he makes the audience laugh and he makes them think...often at the same time. You never have to worry that he might be inappropriate and you certainly never have to sweat how well he will be received. I recommend him highly. You will look like a genius for having found him.

Verified @abmda.com"Tim was our keynote speaker at a recent conference (Associated Building Materials Distributors of America). Tim did an exceptional job of communicating effectively on the topic "Transformation Thinking: How to Tap into the Great Wealth of Brain Power". Tim presented with enthusiasm, power and humor. The result was a remarkable transformation within our group. Business leaders were challenged and encouraged, while at the same time a long-time married couple in our group found Tim's principles applicable to their marriage, resulting in a very positive deep discussion - the first in many years! Our attendees have already requested that Tim be invited back again soon for another keynote address - we will definitely do so! I wholeheartedly recommend Tim as a keynote speaker!

Verified @deltacommunitycu.comWhat I found really great about working with Tim was his preparation to ensure that his message resonated with our audience. Perhaps I can best sum up the experience that Tim's keynote was the highest rated of our show. Also, Tim conducted a breakout session, and I've never heard of someone getting a standing ovation after conducting a breakout...but that's what happened! There are a million speakers out there, and it's really great to work with one who "gets it".
