Kevin Brown was a fantastic speaker and left our group with a wonderful message that held value for work and home. He was extremely engaging and the content was rich with humor. All 500 employees, who attended the banquet, fully enjoyed his talk and I would recommend him for any event. He is also very easy to work with and will help you make your meeting and/or event a huge success.

I wanted to express my appreciation for you coming and sharing your stories with us. While the concepts you touch on are complicated, they are extremely powerful. I work with several of our dealers and have already started to change my approach to each interaction. Understanding the power and impact we can have if we truly focus on the moment and do what we can to help take those dealers to the next level.
