MeetingReviewed on January 4, 2024From Archbold, OH

Chad was great- He met with the team before the event to go over our expectations and to understand the audience. He worked the room and met the people before the event to further know his attendees. He was energetic and personable. Highly recommend. thanks Chad

Corporate FunctionReviewed on December 7, 2023From Cleveland, OH

Thoroughly enjoyed Chad! He was the first to respond after receiving our interest in a speaker for our company. He was flexible to our evolving needs, as our meeting went from in-person to virtual. Met with us to further discuss our wants/needs in preparation of the speaking engagement. Lots of great feedback about Chad from our team. Thank you!
