Jeff absolutely knocked it out of the park. Everybody walked away as a closer team. All of us walked away with skills that we didn’t have before and Jeff helped us maximize our team performance and individual performance. I couldn’t recommend Jeff more highly. He really, really provides a unique and valuable perspective.

Jeff is a ‘can’t miss’ speaker. Jeff powerfully addresses the fascinating topic of managing counter-productive stress and more, drawing from his experience as a top professional tennis player and also from some quite difficult life challenges. He integrates the best of the most current research into a very interesting, motivational, and easy to grasp presentation.

Jeff exemplifies grit, has a process, and has a really positive outlook on what it takes to push through hard times. If you get an opportunity, have him come out and do a keynote or spend time with you and your team.

We asked Jeff to speak with our leadership team about resilience during uncertain times, and when things don’t go as planned. With his advanced preparation, Jeff was able to connect with our leaders and provide tools to help each of us address the challenges we are experiencing.

I have been a Vistage Member and Chair for a combined total of 25 years, during which time I have heard hundreds of keynotes at Vistage and other venues. The two hours we spent with him were moving, vulnerable and had very high "take home value". Perhaps the most valuable part was the absolute simplicity of the "Pro Tips" that anyone can implement without delay or complexity.
