Gary was very down to earth and easy to work with. Our attendees enjoyed his use of his life experiences to highlight his topic of handling change and stress. Some of the exercises we were given made us dig deep inside and opened my eyes to my own thoughts and priorities. Gary was the most genuine keynote speaker we’ve ever had.

I hope you (finally) made it out of Hawaii and home safely. I just wanted to pass along my gratitude once again for coming out and addressing our group. The feedback has been tremendous, and everyone felt it was among the best keynotes we’ve ever had at our Convention. I shared with Larry’s wife some of your presentation comments and personal story and she was deeply touched by your message and how much Larry would have enjoyed listening to you (and sharing stories of watching your sons play hockey).
Again, thank you so much for your time and partnership in helping make this a fantastic event for our advisors and managers.
