Thank you for the excellent presentation you delivered at our Leadership Council meeting. I received a lot of positive feedback from the group about your session -- they found your presentation to be "engaging," "thought provoking" and "inspiring." I also appreciate your thoughtful participation in the panel discussion that followed.

Jim spoke at a partner event for Interlogix on future trends impacting home automation and other issues. He rocked! It was so much fun and his insight was very cooi. The live text message polling was pretty amazing. And all that in just the 35 minutes he had!

Jim Carroll was an excellent speaker. He was very enthusiastic, and it was obvious that he loves talking about his subject matter. He covered a wide range of trends and topics, including the current and coming explosion in mobile access, the speed at which consumers move , and the huge generational displacement to come from the text message generation - Review of keynote @ Multi Unit Franchise 2011 in Las Vegas

Your use of anecdotal information backed up by research validated your thoughts and helped create a platform for future thinking. We really appreciated your cooperative nature and your willingness to work with us to tailor a presentation to meet our specific needs….A friendly and down to earth presentation style is obviously your strong suit. All of our attendees were made to feel comfortable and part of the discussion!

Jim drew quite a crowd on the last day of our conference. We were pleasantly surprised at the turnout and how engaged the audience was at the end of this four day event. The information shared was really helpful in terms of informing our work and Jim shared it with passion, humour and an incredible amount of insight!

wanted to drop you a quick line and thank you for a great morning this past Wednesday when you spoke at theTechsolve/Magnet Ohio simulcast.
Your presentation was outstanding and really validated much of what I am trying to do at my company. I am the General Manager at a company that has been very out of touch with innovation and has been a sleeping giant. Our new team is driving significant change. I needed a dose of motivation and your presentation certainly provided it to me!
Thanks for taking the time to share your exciting views and vision with us, Ohio companies certainly need it!

While we have not seen our post meeting survey results yet I am anticipating that you will be getting one of the highest ratings. I think you hit the mark and it was a great way to kickoff the meeting. It was obviously very thought provoking and you had people’s attention as when we had other speakers people would incorporate some of what you talked about – “Yesterday we heard from a speaker that talked about big not beating small but fast beating slow†or “A concept was presented the other day that $1 talking stick in a market of 4 billion people……†Always a good sign that you hit the mark if people are talking about it the two days after. I also appreciated you hitting on the fact that we are all innovators that was the key I wanted them to hear and I think they got it.
I think the biggest indicator that you hit the mark was that two of my colleagues have requested your contact information. I think they would like to submit you name to be considered for speakers at various industry sponsored events so don’t be surprised if in a few months you hear from other colleagues.

All the feedback I have received has been positive. Both on the message and humour of your presentation....Most of the crowd and management agreed that you were the best speaker we've had in the last few years - National Rural Telephone Association / National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association

One of Jim's strengths as a speaker is the preparation he does in advance of the event, to customize his message so that it truly resonates with a particular audience. Our members started the day with Jim ...and were still talking about what they heard at the reception late into the night. 300 grey haired folks waking up to change and innovation... great job! ( this is quoted from our evaluation form ) Jim took the time to study our organization in advance of the conference, and our members appreciated that his message reflected the reality of the changes in their profession."Â Appraisal Institute of Canada

...our intention was to wake up the conference attendees and to give them a glimpse of the future, and you succeeded on both counts. Your energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and your insights were informative.

Not only did our audience benefit from Jim's keynote - but his insight and presentation bode well for us in press coverage after the event. In addition, another industry association executive in the audience had him speak at their convention less than 4 months after hours. She felt is was so good that she was willing to risk any cross-over audience for their group.
So, all I can say is that it worked very well for us. Jim is a good speaker, lots of energy and his information is fresh because he lives the future life...not just talks about it.

Jim really walks his talk! His commitment to preparatory research
for our presentation was most impressive. Jim's material is powerfully
relevant, practical and actionable. He engages the audience with humour,
sharing of personal experiences and unfailing courtesy and respect for his
audience.

Wow! That was great! And fun -- Jim took us out of the debate about 'health care reform' and helped us think about what is really going to happen in the next ten years. More people need this type of out of the box insight!
