I’ll tell you this, I’m glad we used Brad. He was terrific. He interjected humor and levity into a presentation that was inspirational and fun and really had our people engaged.

Hi my name is Lara Cassidy and I work for Northrup Grumman. And we just had Brad Montgomery at one of our leadership events and he did a fabulous job. We are definitely going to bring him back to our next program in October. We, I was a little hesitant. I told him before he went on stage that hey Brad my job is on the line. If this is not going to work out then I’m going to be walking out the door and I’m probably going to lose my job because I’ve never seen you live in person. And he did well, he did a great job. He had my audience laughing hysterical. He customized a lot of his jokes to some of the challenges and the issues that we’re facing in our organization which was key which really got our audience to believe in him, believe in, you know laugh at his jokes. He was more of a credible speaker because of that and we just think he did a fabulous job. Thanks Brad. We’ll bring you back in a couple months.

Brad got the group energized. And I have to tell you that of all of the speakers that we’ve had over the last three or four conferences since we’ve renewed this process, Brad just blew them all out of the water. He was absolutely the best, the funniest, the most engaging, the most entertaining. And as a result the message gets across real easy.

And I have to tell you, it was so impactful. And what was very special about his presentation was that he took the time to understand the issues and our culture and so he customized the approach and put the emphasis on the primary issues that were what our meeting was all about. And it was just so meaningful to have a key note speaker bring people into laughter, but also make it a meaningful quality presentation.
Bill King:
I’ll tell you one of the best things about it was the great connection he made with our people. I mean he was able to weave his message and all of his comedy and his magic and so on into our industry into our specific corporate culture which was absolutely critical. I mean everybody got his message and made a very specific connection for it.

Hi, I’m Jim Wilson. I’m the President of Craneware. 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 of the people who are out in the room. You know you reach a point during a conference where everything gets a little flat and people are tired of looking at power points and all those types of things to bring in somebody that can lift the spirits of that team, get everybody excited about what we’re doing and get them ready for the next thing they do that’s probably going to be boring is just, it was perfect. The tone was right, the message was exactly right. He took a little bit of time to learn about who we are, how we fit into our industry, who some of our competition was. And it was; I couldn’t say enough about the job that he did for us in the very short period of time that he was with us. So, thank you again very much Brad and you’re welcome to call me if you’d like a recommendation.

Hi, I’m Ann Marie Brown; I’m the Vice-President of Marketing for Craneware. And Brad just finished his presentation for us and it was really fabulous. I know I looked at lots of, lots of different people to come speak at our conference and finding Brad was the best thing we could’ve done. He really took the time to learn about our organization and incorporate that into the presentation. He was right on in his messaging. Everyone left with a great attitude and had a great time. And so we are so thankful that he was with us today. Thanks.
