Testimonials

Dr. Breus was a huge hit at our recent speaker series, which was held at locations around the country. His presentations were consistently fun, informative and highly engaging. Although his topic was largely focused on sleep, our highly diversified audiences were wide awake and really captivated by every moment of his talks!
– FINANCIAL SERVICES
Sleep turned out to be the “HOT” topic at our global Edge conference this year, when the Fire Marshal required us to close the doors at Dr. Michael Breus’ lecture, as the audience was literally overflowing. Those who could stay awarded Dr. Brues with high ratings for engagement, humor, and education as he did anything but put us to sleep, with his topic. Dr. Breus’ passion was evident by all as he stayed afterwards and answered every single question for our members. Since his lecture, Dr. Breus has become an amazing resource for Young Presidents Organization (YPO) members worldwide.
– YPO/WPO/YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
The lecture was beyond our expectations. It was absolutely one of the most engaging events that we’ve had in our YPO chapter. My phone has been blowing up all morning with positive feedback. I look like the hero, although I didn’t deliver the talk. I just brought the best speaker in the world to our venue. I can’t wait to explore how we can bring Dr. Breus back.
– YPO/WPO/YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
Dr. Breus has transformed my ability to get results in my business. My whole life had been one long, tired story until I heard him speak and started working with him one on one. In just a few months’ time, I am now experiencing a level of restful sleep I had previously resigned myself to believing was impossible. I highly recommend Dr. Breus to anyone who wants to get the most out of their own performance.
