Nick Hardwick graciously accepted the invitation to speak at our annual Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) Commercial Real Estate event. Without question, Nick was one of the best speakers we have had in the past 10 years. Most people who live in or close to San Diego are aware of Nick’s successful career in the NFL with the San Diego Chargers so I was excited to attend the event and listen to his speech. Within the first 2 minutes, he had the entire audience completely locked in, engaged and falling out of their seat with laughter. Throughout the balance of his speech, Nick’s message was the perfect blend of humorous stories and genuine takeaways absorbed from overcoming challenging obstacles during his career as a professional athlete. Nick is dynamic in an audience. If you want a speaker with enthusiasm, passion and the ability to engage your listeners, Nick can deliver.
