Next Speaker:    So I’ve seen Brad perform at ISTE technology training ( for educators and education) in Texas.  And then he came all the way out to California for us to do a presentation at a motivational session for all of our staff, approximately 200 staff.  And it has been fantastic both times.  Brad brought energy, he brought little common sense and wisdom for us to use.  What I told Brad earlier is he inspired me to do things a little bit differently in the region that I manage and just try to keep things light and have a good time and inspire others to do the same.  My name (Continue Reading…)

Female Speaker: Now, more than ever, what we need in this tough economy is we need to energize people and bring energy to their work, their lives, etc. and they’re more productive as a result, I’m very confident.

Male Speaker: And I’m on a team out in the field with M and I just

Motivational Speaker Testimonial

Massachusetts Speaker Brad Montgomery

Note:   Terry was kind enough to record this kind testimonial about me as a motivational speaker.  We haven’t got the video edited, and thought this transcript would be the next best thing.

Terry Pellorin:    Hello everyone.  My name is Terry Pellorin.  I’m the Associate Director of Facilities here at WPI in Worcester, Massachusetts.  I took a chance.  I got on the internet and I found this website of this gentleman, Brad Montgomery.  It seemed like a cool website and he seemed like a cool guy so I took a chance and I invited him today to our **** meeting.  Southern New England Chapter of APA.  Well I must say, he blew us away.  He was the coolest guy you would ever want to meet.  So I highly recommend him and if you don’t hire him you’re really stupid.  Good bye.  All right, I’m back on again because I forgot to tell you, not only did we have a wonderful time here but Brad’s relevance to a business, facilities, any type of work environment is unbelievable.  He ties in humor to the workplace, how to (Continue Reading…)

Testimonial about Brad Montgomery

Funny Health Care Speaker

Note from Brad:   Tim and Lucy represent Haven Hospice and were kind enough during a recent motivational keynote to record this testimonial into my video camera.  While we’re waiting for the editor to get the film done, here’s the transcription:

Lucy Lurs:    I’m Lucy Lurs and I’m Director of Human Resources for Haven Hospice.  And we just got done our annual employee day together and we had Brad Montgomery as our speaker and he was fabulous.  I can’t tell you enough.  Did research on several speakers and he did his homework.  He weaved in the company, what is happening with the company and he also weaved in what employees don’t like about their jobs and made humor out of it.  And the whole audience really enjoyed everything that Brad spoke about.  They really related and I can’t thank Brad enough for uplifting our employees spirits.  And he just did an excellent job.

Tim ****:    Hey, I’m Tim **** and I’m President of Haven Hospice (Florida) and want to enthusiastically endorse Brad Montgomery in his effort for (Continue Reading…)

Joy Davis:    Hi.  I’m Joy Davis and I work for Garfield County Human Services.  And we had Brad come today and do a presentation for our small group of about 80 or 90 employees and he talked a lot about bringing humor and magic back into the workplace.  And we have a really stressful with dealing with child welfare issues and child support and always mean to people and doing things that are just not very well appreciated.  So we needed to have some humor back into our lives to deal with all the stress and issues that we deal with and also with each (Continue Reading…)

Insurance Speaker | Testimonial about Motivational Speaker Brad Montgomery

Note from Brad:   I recently worked for a wonderful group of insurance folks in Georgia.   My contact, Mary, wrote the kindest note and gave me permission to post it.  Thanks Mary!

We had Brad Montgomery as our keynote speaker for a group of 350 people for our company Southern Farm Bureau Insurance Company on May 4, 2009 at Savannah, Georgia.

Brad was an awesome speaker.  The value, substance, and above all laughs that he added to our meeting were fabulous business investment. Not only was his program an asset to the quality of our business meeting, it also paid off in positive terms for our people.  The morale and optimism about our work and goals were heightened as a result of what he had to say.  Coming away from a business meeting with increased energy and hopefulness about work and job satisfaction says a lot especially in today’s economic climate.

We highly recommend that you consider Brad Montgomery for your next corporate or association event.  His keynote speech hit on a topic that cannot be ignored in the current business downturn, namely that (Continue Reading…)

You know this is like our 10th, 11th, 12th summer conference that we’ve done and you know we have had speakers from across the nation come in and talk to our teachers and by far this exceeded every other speaker we’ve ever had.  He gave immediate tools for the teachers to be able to use to add value to their own personal lives, to the lives of the children that they teach.  And it was just a win-win situation, it was just an absolutely amazing, magical day and the teachers were pumped.  We’re ready to go.

I spoke in Phoenix, Arizone for Craneware.   Check out the kind things they had to say about my motivational keynote speech:   Aw shucks.

Joe Wilson:    Hi, I’m Joe Wilson.  I’m the President of Crane Wear and we just got finished with a session where we used Brad Montgomery as our motivational speaker and it was absolutely the right tone.

The fun that he brought to the group, the attitude that he created with all the people around the room.  You reach a point during a conference where everything gets a little flat and people are tired of looking at PowerPoints and all those types of things.  To bring in somebody that can lift the spirits of that team, get everybody excited about what they are doing and get them ready for the next thing they do that is probably going to be boring, it was just perfect.

The tone was right, the message was exactly right.  He took a little bit of time to learn about who we are, how do we fit into our industry, who some of our competition was and it was – I couldn’t say (Continue Reading…)

Health Care Speaker Brad Montgomery – A Testimonial

“Hi, my name is Pam Delaney, I’m Senior Vice President of Operations for a major health care company in this country.  We are spending a lot of money to bring in our medical directors and the staff from our field as well as our corporate executives and we are going through a lot of change right now; health care is going through a lot of change.

It’s a very important conference for us, we are bringing groups together that have never been together before and one of the things we wanted to do was make this conference very relevant to them.  We have a lot of business activities going on but one of the things we wanted to do was also make them taking care of themselves, having some humor in their lives relevant to them.  And we worked with Brad, he brought it down to our level, he helped even the medical providers understand how they can bring humor, relaxation to the work site and how that would help everybody in our company.

The feedback was phenomenal.  I was afraid people would say here we are at a business conference and you have us (Continue Reading…)

When Brad Montgomery graduated with a political science degree in 1988, he had the same plan as many fellow classmates: take a year off before heading to law school. But sixteen years later, that day still hasn’t come. Instead, Montgomery has taken a childhood hobby–magic–and turned it into a successful career as a corporate speaker and entertainer.

Brad’s History

Growing up in Denver, Montgomery did magic tricks in high school and during summers off from college. His venues ranged from children’s birthday parties to street performances to the Colorado Renaissance Festival, where he performed as a jester. “Looking back now, I was pretty bad,” he says with a characteristic laugh.

During that fateful year off after college, Montgomery entered a contest and won a booking at the renowned Magic Castle in Los Angeles. It was on the drive back to Colorado that he realized he wasn’t going to law school. He was having too much fun. Instead, Montgomery eventually entertained students at about 250 colleges across the country. He also performed on cruise ships and at nightclubs. As a magician and comedian, though, his act did not revolve around traditional sawing-a-box-in-half tricks; instead he performed less (Continue Reading…)
