Bill provided our team with “down-to-earth” solutions in dealing with the challenges of balancing work and life in the fast paced software industry. He did it with humor and easy to remember principles that kept the group engaged throughout the session.

– Microsoft

Your presentation was a big success! The entire management team stated how much they enjoyed it and how appropriate the subject of work-life balance was for the organization. We look forward to hearing you again.

We were impressed with his presentation style, content, and his ability to connect with the audience. The response we received from our convention attendees was overwhelmingly positive so we have asked Bill to return again this year. He is an outstanding communicator, versatile in his approach and content.

Your remarks were challenging and the audience was very responsive. In a hard charging business environment it is difficult to maintain perspective and your talk on “balance” was very appropriate in this regard. We look forward to a repeat opportunity in the future.

Judging from the audience response as well as the feedback we have heard, you hit a 'Home Run!' Your mix of humor and message was just what we had hoped for.

– Bank of America

Thank you for making this the best meeting we’ve had! You were terrific on “Work/Life Balance.” You were able to bring joy and laughter to a group of senior executives. I would recommend your presentations to any group seeking to improve morale or simply develop key member’s leadership skills.

– DaimlerChrysler

Your contributions in delivering the keynote address at our opening session helped kick the entire conference into high gear! In fact, you were the highest rated speaker of the entire conference posting a 4.80 overall rating on a 5.0 scale. . .a smashing success!

Bill’s presentations are dynamite! He has the rare ability to relax his audience with humor, followed by a powerful, riveting message driven home forcefully.
