– D.M., VP, Sales, IBM

I have had the privilege of watching Scott perform numerous times with different organizations. I am always amazed at how he remembers every winner’s name, all the acronyms within the organization, and more importantly how it ties into the overall &mission statement that your management team wants to send with a “comedic” touch. I highly recommend Scott as a speaker.

– .C., SVP, HSBC

Scott, you were a major hit at our national sales conference - you were awesome! Pat and Marsh kept saying how great you are - you blew us away. Ok, here is the best compliment I can give you. Our hard-nosed finance guy came into my office this morning - you know, the type of guy who always questions everything we do in Sales - he says, "Scott Bloom was so great - why doesn't AT&T get him for other big meetings?" So you got to everyone, including the Finance Guy! Thank you. People are still buzzing about you.

– C.C., Global Marketing Officer, AT&T

Fantastic! Funny! Quick! Smart! Creative! Witty! Professional! Those were the adjectives used by our customers to describe your performance. Thank you for the outstanding job you did as our master of ceremonies.

– J.B., SVP, Verizon

I’m a Hall of Fame keynote speaker and a New York Times best selling Author. I have can honestly say in full confidence that Seth Dechtman and his team at Keynote Curator is the best agency I have been honored to work with.
I’ve witnessed Seth’s client focused relationship skills On multiple occasions. His clients love him and he’s detail oriented and has great communication skillls.
But most importantly, I’ve been on the receiving side of his servant, focused leadership style. He treats me like a valued partner and emulates everything a wingman is.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A Treasure Trove for Anyone Involved in Speaker Selection!

As someone deeply involved in the intersection of marketing and technology at AImpact, I find the process of selecting the right keynote speaker to be a critical part of any successful event. Seth Dechtman's "The Keynote Curators" podcast is nothing short of a godsend for anyone facing the challenges and opportunities that come with this task.

Seth brings an almost poetic understanding to the power of words, acknowledging that a speech isn't just a scheduled event but a transformative experience that can change the dynamics of an entire room. His enthusiasm for the craft is contagious, making each episode a joy to listen to.
