I was lucky enough to be in the audience a couple weeks ago when you spoke at my company. I wanted to tell you how fantastic it was. At one point my heart was racing, hands were shaking and palms were sweating. I’ve never felt more motivated. Thank you!

In 25 years we have never had a more dynamic and captivating speaker, who certainly provided a message that resonated with all the first responders and hazardous materials technicians in the room

Scott Sweet

Almost three weeks since you spoke to us at the IMPACT Conference and I still have a fire in my belly! My performance has improved at work and I have defined my role in a way to lead and not micromanage. My own accountability is priority one. Thanks again!

Hart Keeble

Thank you Brent. Everyone couldn’t say enough how much they enjoyed your talk and candor! So much so that you held their attention better than any speaker they’ve seen. Our Customer Service lead was there and she already wants to have you speak to her team!

John Keaveney

Fantastic presentation! You hit the messaging perfectly. It was both entertaining and prescriptive. We will definitely be inviting you back!

Gerard McGraw

That was the best and most authentic presentation on values-based leadership and culture I’ve ever seen. So many speakers just tell stories, but you actually taught us how to improve!
