Testimonials

Good morning, Gene, without a doubt, your presentation was the best closing session I have ever attended. I know you are doing the kickoff for Symposium and I’m sure I will be saying the same for the kickoff session. Somehow, you managed to make all the tough news entertaining. It was a master class on presenting.
– Lewis Linda Dodd, Learning Specialist, North Carolina Association of CPAs
In a word.... WOW! Gene absolutely delivered. He was spot on for our small business members. He packed a lot into 45 minutes and left everyone with something to take away. People were taking pictures of his slides during his presentation. The conversations about his keynote continued throughout the day. People said they emailed him right after he got off stage. Others mentioned that they were emailing their own accountants to find out if the advice he was giving could help them. They found out that they were entitled to tax relief or grants that would basically offset their price of attending our show. That is a tremendous value for our members. We could not be happier. He was fantastic.
– Mike Adamson, President & CEO The Aircraft Electronics Association
Gene, I would say in my 30 years of attending presentations, yours was THE MOST: valuable, relevant, properly paced, perfect amount of info; not too much, but enough, excellent humor, and perfectly executed presentation I have experienced.
– Jill Keim, VP Relationship Manager, First Merchants Bank
Gene was a huge hit again. We have never brought a speaker in back to back years. Gene certainly was worthy and delivered again!
– Kevin Gilbride, Executive Director, The Accredited Snow Contractors Association
