“Rick Barrera was both a general session and breakout speaker for our annual conference. Not only was it a pleasure working with SpeakersOffice, the Society was extremely pleased with Rick’s presentation, the value of his message, his professionalism and great warmth that he brought to the program.”
“When you hire a keynote speaker who is touted as an expert in ‘Over Delivering,’ that raises the bar on expectations of the speaker. Rick Barrera was all that was advertised and thoroughly connected with our group by personalizing his message to an audience of over 2,100 professionals. He helped elevate our conference as the audience was enlightened, entertained, and motivated to excel in the future.”
“Rick has presented twice for our association. Both times he hit a home run with timely, relevant content as well as being highly energized. We review 40 to 50 speakers a year to find 3 – 5 speakers. He made the cut easily both times.”
