Johnny spoke at our annual leadership meeting this year and was a wonderful addition to our schedule. This was the first year we invited a keynote presentation from outside our industry to speak at our conference so we were unsure how it would be received, but Johnny was the perfect speaker to motivate and inspire our leaders. Johnny's message of resiliency and adapting to change was a perfect complement to our program. Johnny was easy to work with and very accommodating to our last minute schedule changes, I would highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for a keynote or guest speaker and have no doubt that he will be able to tailor his message for any audience just the way he did for us. Many thanks Johnny!
