  • Shawn is one of the most charismatic and energetic speakers that I have ever seen. His presentation is fast-paced, entertaining and informative.

  • Shawn was great!! Very engaging and energetic. He was also amazing to work with!

  • I have had the pleasure of seeing Shawn speak twice now (and follow him on Facebook). He has this unbelievable ability to engage with the audience and make complicated topics sound simple. He is a rockstar!

  • Our Summit went very well, and Shawn’s presentation was a major contributing factor. He was simply fantastic and we’re so glad that he was able to make time for us. He connected really well with the audience.

  • Arisa did a FANTASTIC job! She was so warm and charismatic. We received a lot of really great feedback from the audience about how engaging she was throughout the night — especially the personal touches she weaved into her speaking notes.

    We also really appreciated her sticking around afterwards to meet people and take pictures — we had a lot of Big Brother fans in the room so that was the icing on the cake!
