Sasha is animated, entertaining and seriously dedicated to his art and craft of branding as well as his commitment to give an incredible presentation. I wish more speakers put as much work, energy and interest in how they present their material. His flow is streamlined, and I wasn't bored once. I didn't reach for my iPhone to check in or "check out"... only at the end to tweet something he said. He is both dramatic and authentic, and a mix of serious and slightly inappropriate. Perfect combination!

Sasha is dynamic but also a very authentic and relatable speaker. He's funny but knows his subjects well. He strikes the right balance of information and entertainment for a business audeince. It's the 3rd time I've seen him speak and each time he did a great job (3 different talk topics).

You could tell that Sasha put his soul into the presentation- he worked hard, he had clearly thought through the ideas, had carefully honed the presentation... not in an overly slick way, but in the same way you carefully think about advice you would give to a dear friend- The end result was very authentic, compelling, and actionable.

Sasha is not only knowledgable about his subject, he has a special ability to deliver his message in a way that is fun and impactful. He has a tremendous energy that is quickly transferred into the audience. You will not only feel enrich with solid knowledge but actually motivated to take action.

I've seen Sasha enter a stage and breathe life into rooms that contain glazy eyed audiences that have just sat through hours of prior speakers. It does not matter who is speaking before or after Sasha, Sasha is always the one people are talking about when they leave the room.
Sasha is as skilled with his ideas and communication off the cuff as most are with scripted presentations. This allows him to be immensely adaptable to real time circumstances and to have a unique custom tailored relevancy. His speaking style and presence command attention on their own but it is his uniquely brilliant perspective and mastery of his topics that keeps everyone so dialed in to every word he speaks. I would never even take the time to write a review for anybody else. That's how good he is.

His ability to engage an audience is incredible, I have not found a speaker that could engage and captivate my attention for such a period. His style and knowledge base is something that you will gain from, I look forward to the next time I hear him speak.

Most speakers don't have the ability to capture an audience of business owners the way I have seen Sasha do it. Not only is the material interesting and engaging but the way Sasha delivers a speech is like nothing I have ever heard before. I have heard good speakers with OK material and I have heard OK speakers with good material but its rare to get both and each time it has been consistently refreshing while at the same time thought provoking. If you have not heard him speak, I would highly recommend it.

He is an interesting & intelligent person w/ a wealth of experience in Brand Creation. He is engaging w/ his use of multi-media & weaving the pertinent information of the presentation into a story that captures the audience.

Sasha is one of the most entertaining, insightful, likable speakers I have had the pleasure of watching and learning from. He is a great story teller and teacher... looking forward to learning from him again soon.

Sasha Strauss gave a riveting talk. He shares stunning facts about our world and how the system works pared with strategies to get you where you want to go. He has proven repeatedly the "how" to create in detail ones defining moments in their company or self. Alan Kay had said, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." After hearing Sasha's talk I now believe the best way to predict the future is to define it. Sasha speaks with passion, clarity and intellect. It is crystal clear why the leading companies in the world spend considerable sums for the strategical focus Sasha applies to Branding their companies.. The proof is always in the pudding as I am already booking my first meeting with Innovation Protocol.

Sasha is one of the most animated and passionate speakers that I have heard in a long time. I truly benefited from his insight and experience.

Sasha's presentation was extremely informative and enlightening. He made me think deeply about how I can be more effective in delivering a message in order to receive the desired recognition. Sasha's delivery of his message was energetic and captivating. Best of all, he knows how to get his points across effectively and in a short amount of time.

Sasha's presentation was the most convincing argument on the power of social media that I have heard. I enjoyed both the well presented content as well as Sasha's energetic and entertaining delivery. It was clear that Sasha may be in the minority of people who both understand the power of social media, as well as how social media can be effectively captured and utilized.

I enjoyed hearing Shasha describe how he discovered what it is that he is most passionate about. His energy and honesty made me want to take action in my own life. I'm glad I had the opportunity to hear him talk.

Sasha was very enthusiastic about his work, studies and life. He is a very genuine speaker, and implored the audience to do what is right for them (and not what anyone else expects). Very enjoyable.

Professor Strauss gave a high energy presentation that made me look at myself and life from another angle: who am I and what makes me unique? It was a pleasure to sit and listen to him speak for over two hours, which is more than I can say about many other professors and their lectures. Of course, this presentation was held on Halloween and Professor Strauss came dressed for the occasion as Hobbes, Calvin's imaginary, level-headed best friend (although it was really a tiger costume and not Hobbes, but I digress). His costume added an additional layer to the commitment to his own brand: the Sasha Strauss brand.
