"This speaker has used his life as an example and inspiration for others to follow. He offers wisdom and confidence on how to make the most out of your life and find happiness and fulfillment every step of the way. "What a life!” Good luck. You’re a good man and have a great message.”
“Your personal stories of growth and optimism struck a deep cord with those in attendance. If motivation was your only goal, you succeeded. However, if you were striving to inspire deep belly laughter, internal reflection, misty eyes, and a healthy dose of "open your eyes to the world that surrounds” as they say in Hollywood, you nailed it! Your engaging presentation left all conference-goers thinking about how to embrace and savour life. Conference evaluations only confirmed how I felt: ”Wow. Loved him as keynote speaker!!” “Such a motivated speaker. I will think of him and his life challenges when I am feeling down myself. I know I will not feel that way much longer.” “Wonderful presenter! Touching, funny, inspirational!” “He was excellent. I didn’t want the presentation to end. What a ‘Grand Finale’!” “Amazing!” Quality presenters are difficult to find, so I hope you don’t object to me recommending you to fellow colleagues."
"This speaker has taken on the biggest questions any of us can face (What do I want out of my life? How can I achieve it?) and described twelve specific, concrete steps that will lead each of us to the answers. These answers will, of course, be different for everyone, but he demonstrates that the process by which we arrive at them is not. HIs method requires each of us to be honest with ourselves – even uncomfortably so. This is the hard part, but he leads by example, sharing his own journey with a disarming frankness. As big as the issues are that he urges us to wrestle with, he makes them manageable and even fun with his down-to-earth style. You will get the sense that you are chatting with a wise friend, which makes the challenge he lays down for us seem all the more possible. Take notes; you will want to highlight the many nuggets of wisdom and return to them often as you work his method to conquer the world, or at least your corner of it.″
"I am just writing to tell you your talk has changed me, ...I came out of your talk a much stronger person...a much stronger caregiver....you are a great speaker ...with your positive attitude, and the great ability which you have to express your feelings, your opinions, and telling people your life story and your daughter, Katie's story, you could CHANGE lives.... I don't know how to express myself about the impact of your story on me ....I was listening, I remember I cried, I laughed, I felt sad, and then happy....but at the end BEING STRONG, a much stronger person....as you were taking I was reflecting on my own life, on my own challenges....I found myself coming out of that session being a much stronger person....I am writing, just to thank you for sharing your own story, and telling us how important it is to keep the positive attitude, but also take the time to rest and enjoy our lives and what we have. Your talk was fascinating, inspiring, relevant, practical...I was able to relate to what you were saying, even without having your challenges... I believe your talk would be good for everyone of us, for everybody regardless of the kinds of the problems and issues which we have......Being positive, being strong, enjoying life, helping others... I hope you continue telling people all about your life, and what has helped you to become who you are today.........
"Intended to inspire people with Parkinson Disease to move forward and forego the temptation to think their life is over, through humor, personal experience and touching revelation he presents a methodology for success in dealing with chronic disease. His common sense analysis of the steps necessary to turn tragedy into opportunity and the methods to implement those steps, applies to anyone who is in need of direction and focus. I wonder how much more successful all our lives would be had we developed these habits as young people? It is good to know there’s still time because ‘We ain’t dead yet!’”
"How do I thank you - let me count the ways .... you came, you thrilled, you brought people to tears, you brought people to laughter, but, most importantly, you inspired. Thank you."
