What people are saying about Mark Thompson.

Just wanted to thank you for delivering an excellent keynote. Great delivery and great content. Hope to visit you on your Island some day.

Bruce Klein, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Partner Organization, Cisco

You were awesome. Thanks. The reaction was outstanding. Thanks for the great preparation and really connecting your messages to Cisco and our partners. Made it personal and special.

Edison Peres, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Channels, Cisco

Mark just spoke to a room full of our top performers. He brought in the concepts for long term success from many global business leaders, put the ideas into real world context - how each person interacts with our brokers and agents--he wove it all together beautifully. You could see in everyone's faces that it was a great event, something that they will remember.

Matthew Kirk, SVP Sales and Distribution, The Hartford

Recently, I was booked to speak for 500 clients of a top businessman. He introduced me by saying that he took a $40,000 Harvard 6-week executive MBA last summer. He then held up ([i]Now, Build a Great Business[/i]!) and said that he learned more from this book than he learned at Harvard. He handed out 500 copies to his clients after my talk. Neat!

We were thrilled to have Mark present out our inaugural conference at our NIKE World Headquarters. His key note presentation received overwhelming high marks/feedback from all participants. Thanks for your support and follow-up.

Suzanne Hilton-Esaki, Director of Transition Management, Nike

Thank YOU for the time last week. I have poured over my notes of your presentation and have been regaling some of my folks with your insights...so much so that I think we may just need to see if we can get you up here again into Canada for a session with us at LifeLabs! Your ideas and approach to innovation are spot on! Thank you for lifting us all up on Monday. I hope the rest of your week was manageable. All the best and please let me know if you are ever coming up to BC or to Toronto again.

Sue Paish, President & CEO, LifeLabs

Thanks very much! You did a fabulous job! Thanks so much for adding so much! Let's keep in touch!

Blake Hutcheson, President & CEO, Oxford Properties Group

Thanks for a great presentation in Phoenix last week. The energy and message was at a perfect level for the occasion.

Bryan Fry, President & Chief Executive Officer, Pernod-Ricard

I took several things away from your presentation. In fact, I walked away with about 5 pages of notes! The most applicable to where I am at the moment, was your seven tests discussion and whether my team has the mojo to lead change. I have sometimes looked at some of those attributes as a negative. I hear my employees carrying on about certain job functions to the point where it's boring people and I've never thought about that as being a true sign of passion. I am definitely going to key in on those attributes in my employees to really understand what drives them. Truthfully, I could probably write a novel about the impact that your presentation had on me, but I'll stop short of that. I greatly appreciate you taking the time out of your schedule to attend our symposium and I will definitely let you know if I'm in SF or NYC.

Roland Harmon, Vice President, Walmart

Your presentation has created such a buzz with our Leadership Participants. I have heard NOTHING but rave reviews and Kudos on your presentation as well as others at the event. The group was specifically impressed with your ability to speak/relate to our industry challenges, as it pertains to your content. Once again Mark, thank you so much for sharing your valuable insights and time with us this past week! I sincerely appreciate it.
