Northern Virginia Building Industry Association
One of the goals of our meeting was to create a sense of teamwork, breaking down any walls and creating a relaxed, fun environment where people could get to know one another better. I believe your program solidified these objectives and also fostered a more friendly environment in subsequent meeting days. We will definitely keep you in mind for future meetings.

Travelers Express/MoneyGram
I have had the pleasure of working with Tim and Kris O'Shea on two separate occasions. Their onstage performance and comedic timing are flawless. They completely engaged members of our staff. Comments from the staff included 'no one ever stays for the breakfast and The O'Sheas kept us in the room and engaged.' Some members of the Aims audience had tears flowing as they giggled uncontrollably while watching The O'Sheas work the room with their fellow co-workers. It was clear to everyone in the room that their humor and insight into the organization was right on target, resulting in a standing ovation at the end of their presentation. Tim and Kris have contributed to the beginning of a positive cultural transformation at Aims.

Aims Community College
After days of intense training and meetings, your outrageously funny comedic portrayals of ACS brought gales of laughter and a sense of camaraderie to the entire group. The variety of talent you both possess made us feel like we were at a Saturday Night Live performance with our organization as the star. You left us all feeling connected to one another and committed to bringing more laughter to our workplace.

American Cancer Society
Tim and Kris O'Shea are true professionals and delightful to work with, responding to every request with a smile and an on-time delivery. They were able to synthesize lots of detailed information about our industry and our organization and insert relevant tidbits into their presentation which was tailored for our audience. It would be my great pleasure to work with Kris and Tim again, and I heartily recommend them to any group looking for a fun, engaging presentation that offers something a little out of the ordinary. You won't be disappointed!

Professional Convention Management Association
The O'Sheas were a huge asset to the success of the American Payroll Association's 25th Annual Congress in Las Vegas. Your TV style corporate humor news updates were hilarious while also delivering useful information in a very creative format. We have had funny motivational speaker and entertainers at Congress before to recap and provide conference information, but nothing as entertaining as the two of you!

American Payroll Association
Your creativity and stage presence would leave any audience happy, but what truly made an impact was your customization for our audience.

Colas North America
Tim and Kris were the perfect addition to our Quarterly Meeting in Charlotte. I had many employees tell me that the "Change 180" theme was good-natured business comedy and great corporate humor with a message especially appropriate for the changes we are all facing due to the recent economic conditions. The skits were even funnier because of the kernel of truth of their business comedy underlying each one, leaving us with lots of whispered conversations saying, "That reminds me of when..." There's nothing healthier for an organization than to laugh together. Thanks Tim and Kris for being our funny motivational speakers!!!

Energy Solutions
I hired Tim & Kris as our funny motivational speaker to present a keynote address and to MC the awards banquet at our conference. They did a spectacular job on both events. Tim and Kris took the time to talk to our members to customize their presentation - in fact, they developed an audio clip that was such a hit at the keynote, we repeated it by popular demand at the banquet. Tim and Kris were professional, detail oriented, humorous motivational speakers and were tuned in to what they could do to help us improve our event. I fully intend to work with The O'Shea Report in the future for additional clients.
