What Clients Say...
"Over the years we have had many keynote speakers present their ideas at our conferences. We have always asked that
their presentations be relevant to our group of public sector managers and have gone to great pains to explain our organization
to them... Unfortunately, until you, not one speaker was able to or cared enough to do this. Bob, you took the time to really listen
to us and to understand our organization and then craft a presentation that truly met our needs and exceeded our expectations."
Paige Beville
Chief Operating Officer
Federal Occupational Health
"Thank you very much for your motivating, educational, and thought provoking
keynote address, "The Art of Anticipating Trends." The presentation was absolutely
a Gold Medal Performance!"
Education Manager
International Association of Exhibition Management
"Thank you for the outstanding session you conducted for our Division Presidents.
The unique way you adapted the possibilities of tomorrow with the problems and
opportunities that face us today caused everyone to leave
that meeting with something tangible to apply to their companies.
Bob, I have been selecting conference
speakers for the last twenty years and I rate you among the best."
President & COO
Scott Fetzer (division of Berkshire Hathaway)

evaluations and comments, showed that your presentation was outstanding! It was really
excellent and I have received numerous requests for more information on you. (Do we get
a volume discount on Treadway bookings??)"
Director, Education & Meeting Planning
Delta Dental
"I’ve used speakers ranging from Naisbitt to Robert Reich and Tom Peters to

value-for-price."
Jim Prusa, Director, Educational Services
Specialty Equipment Market Association
"Thanks so much for your inspiration, insight, and counsel during NRTC's
InfoComm. Your opening set a great tone and your summary put a beautiful bow on a
great package."
Jeff Almen, Senior VP,
National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative

needed!"
V.A. Robbins, Jr.,
Coordinator, Quality Management, Worldwide Sales Division
Eastman Chemical Company
"Thank you for an outstanding address at the recent OHA Joint Educational Summit
in Columbus. Your remarks were both sobering and enlightening. You reminded us how
important it is to monitor our business and personal surroundings to prepare for a
rapidly approaching future. Your remarks about the ever-shortening windows of opportunity
were particularly cogent to me."
R. Reed Fraley, Chairman of the Board
OHA - The Association for Hospitals and Health Systems
"Regarding Bob's presentation, I don't know where to begin. I wish that I were as eloquent
as others must be in their feedback, but suffice it to say that his remarks were universally
applicable, and universally received with such impact that every survey received ranked Bob's
presentation among the top two most useful for them. This is particularly significant since
many of the other presenters gave very specialized, very applicable material to defined audience
segments. It guaranteed the Conference success in the first 60 minutes. It was the obvious talk of
all of the industry leaders for the proceeding three days.
I had the pleasure to hear Bob last November. However, I found that he had done a tremendous amount of
work to tailor his presentation to meet the needs of the audience. That attention to detail did not go
unnoticed. Further, his work in masterfully weaving the key points I had requested into the presentation
resulted in expanding the minds of these captains of Caribbean industry to actually move in the direction
he gave."
Kent Nelson, Director-Caribbean Region
American Soybean Association
"Your presentation, 'The Art of Anticipating Trends,' was extremely
well-presented, and provided for some thought-provoking trend projection techniques
that can help make the future less of a mystery. Your PowerPoint presentation was
excellent as well, keeping the interest of the audience and providing visual and audible
stimuli for the attendees. I hope to have the opportunity to bring you back for a future
Conference."
Mary Connor, Executive Director
Fluid Power Distributors Association
"I have received numerous very positive comments about your presentation.
You did a superb job of relating to the audience."
Warren Froelich, Coordinator
National Hard Spring Wheat Conference
"Your presentation was well received and your
delivery was extraordinary. You left no doubt that the industry has many challenges
ahead, but encouraged distributors to look into the future as one of new adventures,
exciting opportunities and prosperity."
Sheila Douglas, Conference Coordinator
Heart of America Wholesale Beer Distributors Association
"You had the highest energy presentation of any I’ve seen or heard in a long
time. If one let their mind wander for even 15 seconds, valuable information
was lost or at least an entertaining element was missed."
Cynthia Huheey, Senior V.P.
American Resort Development Association
"It was evident by your presentation that you did your homework and tailored
your presentation to meet the needs of the audience. You are a joy to work
with and I’m sure we’ll be working together again in the future."
Ken Gordon, External Communications
Syngenta Crop Protection
"We've received rave reviews...A first class keynote speaker! It was your high
quality presentation that made our 62nd Convention and Exposition a success!"

Your preparation work is much appreciated."
Linda Raynes, President & CEO

ahead for our audience in the new millennium. The reviews from our 700+ economic
developers in attendance are excellent. Thanks so much for a super job last week."
