If you are looking to make your team meeting a truly fun event, Tim Conniff is your man! Tim kicked off our USCS North Regional Meeting on the perfect note. His focus for our crew was getting out of their comfort zones and embracing feedback as positive and not negative. Two powerful topics delivered alongside clean comedy. I appreciate that he took the time to understand who USCS is and its Cold Crew. This combination engaged our crew to where the material is still being talked about days later! - United States Cold Storage

Tim was a gem to work with. We met a few times ahead of our conference to add some nuances to his presentation to our sales team and he incorporated all of our requests. We did a lot of activities during our 3 day long event for our National Sales meeting, but our sales team is still talking about the ideas that Tim presented and how funny he was even a week later! Tim incorporated really funny and relevant jokes along with getting people out of their comfort zones at work and in the selling environment. Tim was very organized and engaged with our team throughout the day. I'd highly recommend Tim for any corporate event! - Hanna Instruments

We had Tim as a speaker for our company Annual event. Cannot recommend him enough. His professionalism coupled with his responsiveness really shines. Not to mention he’s actually funny. Our team loved him and his positivity. Tim genuinely cares and that clearly shows. He was able to get our message across in a very interactive way while working with us and staying adaptable. He even stepped in when we needed some time to kill time as our caterers were running behind schedule. 5 stars for Tim! - BluPax Pharma
