What people are saying...
"Jeff is an excellent speaker. He keeps his audience involved and engaged. He uses real world - real time examples to share his message. His energy and enthusiasm is contagious! You feel comfortable when Jeff presents. He does a wonderful job of relating his thoughts, ideas and information to all audience members. He always has a smile on. I think this is one of the best traits he has. You know when someone has "It" and Jeff does."
Clint Golisch, Human Resources Manager, Interflex Group
"Your session was by far my favorite. A lot of what you said stuck with me. Thank you for passing on your wisdom."
Marshall Boll, Account Manager, Landmark Landscapes
"Jeff's style is uniquely welcoming and meaningful dialog is a direct result of his approach. Each month, guests leave his presentations with new knowledge to take back to their personal lives and workplaces alike. The entire team at the Chamber of Commerce are very grateful to have his leadership for our members."
Heidi LeHew, Executive Director, Lodi & Lake WI Chamber of Commerce
"This session was an insightful dive into the science of persuasion and how small, ethical changes can have a big impact on influencing others. Jeff did a great job explaining practical strategies, backed by research, that can be easily applied in both personal and professional life. I walked away with actionable ideas that I’m excited to try, especially for improving engagement and communication within teams and with customers. It was a really engaging and informative session!"
