Key Takeaways:
“Simon was a phenomenal speaker! He knocked the opening general session out of the park. His high, contagious energy was captivating from the start but his personal stories and relatable presentation made for an unforgettable session! Attendees were engaged until the very end which isn’t always easy to do – especially virtually. The session has
received glowing feedback. I also appreciated that his team helped to pull questions and comments from the chat window which made the presentation even more personalized.
We would have been thrilled with his presentation alone but he took it to the next level in the way he prepared and planned for the presentation. We had our two conference calls with Simon and he kept asking what else he could do to serve us and that he would have as many calls with
us as we needed, even beyond what we contracted. In fact, he took time to speak with several members, separately and customized the presentation to include those conversations. He is absolutely, positively brilliant! And he has set the bar very high for future speakers.”
“I would highly recommend him. His message was right on and easy to work with.”

He has a strong message supported by his experiences and strong stage presence. He is really a funny guy on stage as well. 98% of attendees rated him as excellent!”

The feedback from our members was over the top for Simon! Thank you Simon!”

He went above and beyond by greeting our attendees the night before his presentation – and as they walked into his session. The conference evaluation comments indicate that Simon knocked it out of the park!”
