This year’s conference was the best we have ever created together. We blew through last year’s audience ratings, and were one of the highest rated sessions at the entire 15,000 person Microsoft Global Briefing.

The Mark of a Leader was tremendous. High energy, unique, inspiring. All I can say is “Thanks. See you next year”.

Michael O’Hara – GM & Marketing Manager, Communications Sector, Microsoft

By all accounts this was a HUGE success!! The overall participant satisfaction rating for the two days received a 3.9 out of 4. Doesn’t get much better than that! Needless to say the clients’ expectations were dramatically surpassed.

Bryan Benjamin – Consultant, Knightsbridge

Doug Keeley and his inspiring modules on Leadership helped make our recent conference a huge success and were amongst the highest rated elements of the event. His ability to connect with our audience by motivating, illuminating, inspiring, and entertaining really helped illustrate what sets great leaders and great brands apart.

Derek Estabrook – Marketing Manager, Gatorade

The Mark of a Leader helped turn our Mexico sales conference into an extraordinary event. The diversity of the stories, the amazing multimedia, and the energy and interaction you created over the entire 3 days was exceptional.

Lisa Hartley – Director of Marketing Communications

From the initial meeting, the preparatory sessions, the rehearsals in Mexico, the delivery of each session through to the grand finale, you were polished and energetic. Many people in the audience told me how important a role you played and how your messages touched them personally and professionally. Thanks again for your significant contribution to our success.

Paul Leblanc – Sr. VP Sales, Global Transaction Banking

The Mark of a Leader was the highest ranked item at our mid year conference, with over 90% of our attendees writing in great comments about you and the stories. Overall, the conference was the highest rated we have ever held, in no small part because of you and your team.

James Peters – Director, Business Alliances, Starbucks Coffee Company

I've seen 25 years of presentations on every management and/or leadership skill under the sun - and have actually been "entertained" enough to remember the material by 3 or 4. Yours was one, and I am enthusiastically recommending you throughout Starbucks. Thank you.

John Mayer – Director, Equipment and Account Services – Foodservice Division, Starbucks Coffee Company

Thanks Doug. Great job. You exceeded my expectations. I’m looking forward to the rollout of The Mark of a Leader communication program through the rest of 2006 and beyond.
