Heath’s presentation was phenomenal. He kept everyone engaged and involved, attentive and participating all the way through. And many had been there for at least four days. It was fabulous! I sure looked very good having selected you as one (if not the best) of keynote speakers at our event – at the beginning of my new career with this group, this was a boost I could certainly use!

Heath’s presentation went great. His message aligned perfectly to what we were trying to convey to our audience and he kept their attention during the hour right before lunch. That’s not an easy thing to do! I was truly impressed with his dedication to getting to know our firm and our business model. He did his homework and even reached out to a few of our branch offices in Canada and the US.
