“I have never seen a speaker put so much energy and so much heart into the role. By the end of a two-day conference not only did we all know Keith but we also knew each other better because of his coaching and coaxing on personal relationship building while at the event.”

--Tom Kelley, President & CEO, IDEO

“After speaking at our HR retreat, I now realize why Keith has been heralded as a networking guru. To most of us, networking has a negative connation that conjures up an image of glad handlers exchanging business cards while holding a martini in their other hand. Keith is the exception to this rule and will change the way you forever see relationships. He was able to connect with the audience on a level intimacy which I never thought before was possible. You could literally see the change in the tone and the dynamic of the conference after he spoke. Not only was he inspirational, but his message was insightful and thought provoking.”

--Judy Cascapera, SVP Human Resources, Nestlé

"Thank you for your engaging and dynamic keynote presentation at our leadership conference. We have been getting rave reviews on both your message and delivery. Based on the stories and exercises you used to emphasize key points, the leaders I spoke with during the conference were able to see themselves a bit differently and identify ways to improve both their work and personal relationships going forward. It was a great how you were able to tie in comments from our breakfast meeting just prior to your presentation in order to customize content “in the moment” to establish an early sense of connection with our group. I also was personally impressed with the amount of energy you were able to demonstrate in your delivery so shortly after a major surgery.”
