Thank you for your presentation to our group yesterday. I have had tremendous feedback. Several distributors commented that your talk was the perfect way to end our meeting.

Your presentation at the Professional Futures Conference in September was a great success Mike. Students at the School of Accounting and Finance have put your words into action and are delivering impactful co-op job applications and interviews this term. As you know, we conducted feedback with the students who attended the conference. Overwhelmingly, the attendees said that you were very effective in inspiring them to think differently, your topic focus was relevant and they would recommend that their peers attend a talk by you. Top marks!

The feedback from the group on your presentation was terrific! They all were thoroughly engaged and took lots of good messages to think and keep in mind as they left the meeting. I certainly would not hesitate to invite you back if we have another such meeting.

Mike – you were an absolute highlight at our event. Your energy is contagious and your message inspiring. Thank you!

To say that they loved you is seriously under-stating it. Holy CROW!! I mean, when you run a Conference for a bunch of auditors – people who MAKE THEIR LIVING CRITICIZING PEOPLE -- you just stay ready for lots of “helpful suggestions.” The only thing any of us heard about your talk was “Oh my gosh it was just wonderful!” Seriously – they loved you, and so did I! You were just exactly the perfect opening-day speaker for us; you had us up and running all week, and quoting you the whole time! You were a HUGE HIT with a very difficult audience!

I want to thank you again for giving such a fabulous presentation! The conference evaluations were outstanding – out of a 5 point scale, our attendees ranked your presentation ability a perfect 5 (phew!) and the content a 4.8. Great reviews from all involved!

Mike, as always, YOU were AWESOME! I could sense the intensity in the room and know that you delivered 100% effort.

I want to say thank you once again! Your 'conversation' with our team today was a perfect fit for our event. The comments from all I spoke with were extremely positive. We were especially impressed with the relevance of your messages for our team and our journey. You did a great job at incorporating the key themes from the morning sessions - very appropriate and well done!

Just a quick note to thank you for a fantastic presentation at our 2010 Customer Development Summit. I couldn’t think of a better way to send everyone home from this week that was ham-packed with training, sharing ideas and fostering a team commitment to growth- both personal and for the company.

The entire group was motivated and energized by your insight, wit and inspiration to bring out our best in everything we do. And your messages fit so well with our corporate direction which asked individuals to be bold and passionate, and to 'act as if this were their company, because it is'.

You were awesome. I loved the way you always exceed our high expectations. You inspired the sales force and you left them focused and fascinated.

I wanted to personally thank you for making our day yesterday FANTASTIC!! Your energy, enthusiasm and awesome sense of humour resonated with everyone -- I honestly have never seen so many smiles on their faces at the same time. I will definitely keep you on the top of my list for referrals in the future.

I want to say how much we enjoyed your presentation at our meeting in New Brunswick. Everyone, and I mean everyone, thought you were fantastic; entertaining AND inspirational. As a group we get along pretty well and our meetings are usually a very positive event, but I’ve had more comments suggesting that this one will be hard to top, thanks to you.

Mike, thank you again for your fabulous presentation! The third annual Abilities First employer awards event was a great success!

Mike – just wanted to let you know that the B.C. government just released the 08/09 workforce engagement survey results (measures employee satisfaction), ILMB had the largest increase in government, a 10 point increase from 61 to 71 which is remarkable (the next largest increase for a Ministry was 6 points in MEMPR). Your work with us on the ILMB vision and the Supervisors session (along with my tour of all offices with video clips in hand) made a substantial contribution to ILMB’s improved employee engagement. THANKS!

Thank you for your exceptional contribution to the TSAE’s Annual Conference. The feedback has been tremendous. You delivered all that we asked to and more. A number of delegates told me that they would be recommending you to their organizations.

Thanks again for your uplifting spirit and all that you give. I cannot say enough about your contribution to our event.

Thank-you for delivering a truly pre-eminent performance yesterday with our team in Denver. While we had high expectations, you were able to exceed those expectations, and put gasoline, and even dynamite on the fire.

What I most appreciated was the time you took in preparing to better understand our company, our situation and what we needed you to deliver.

What a great night at Vaughan Estates the other evening! We've had amazing feedback on the evening and you certainly took it to the next level.

Thank you again for a very enriching session last week! I don’t believe that there was a single person not touched in some way by what you brought to us.

Just wanted to say thank you for a great presentation in Quebec. I am still hearing positive feedback from participants and their owners.

Thank you for your contributions for the SGI's all-management meeting this year. Many of those in attendance have commented to me that your icebreaker session in the morning and keynote address in the afternoon were excellent.

I personally enjoyed meeting you, Mike. I'm also impressed that your chose to spend the day with us to get o know SGI a little better prior to delivering your address.
You helped make the day a great success.

"This was the first time I had seen Mike Lipkin live and he did not disappoint! Mike had our group of 400+ sales and marketing team on the edge of our seats and waiting for his next brilliant and funny Lipkinism! Not only did he motivate and enlighten our group, he was also very accessible for a one on one discussion after his sessions were complete. Truly an inspiring individual! Well done! Here is the line (low line visual) and this is where we play (way above that line)!"

"Mike, thanks for doing such an amazing job for us. The day became everything I hoped for and I think we actually managed to turn a few heads. I can honestly say I haven’t had so many “thank you’s” in a long time."

“The Texas Society of Association Executives (TSAE) consistently identifies and delivers the best speakers. You rise above all that I have seen at their event.

They really enjoyed your presentation and felt motivated to go back to their team and apply the learnings. Your presentation scored highest of any we have ever had, coming in at 4.71 out of 5 on our follow up survey. Direct verbatims from our survey included; "excellent, fantastic, engaging and enjoyable, amazing speaker, motivational, involved the audience"

"The best decision I made was to say no to 3 other speakers before your name was presented. You were the right guy. I very much appreciate your strong contribution to the success of the conference. Your input, flexibility, ability to rise to the occasion, honesty, energy, humour - both as a giver and receiver -Ron`s imitation and your ability to laugh about it went over very well, and key messages all hit the right notes.

"Your presentation is insightful and entertaining - as it always was. I love reading your books and listening to you. You are better than many of the motivational speaker icons. Not just a bunch of platitudes, but real ideas to think about and to challenge ourselves. You inspire me to think about how my brilliance can be best used to mentor others. Thanks again!"

Look forward to seeing you at the 2008 PCMA Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington!"

"Just a quick note to say thanks again for the outstanding and inspirational messages you provided our Team yesterday. After you left, many people came and thanked me for bringing you in to speak to us - both first and second timers. You will be gratified to know that several people that saw, and enjoyed, your presentation last year, stated that they thought you were even better this year, and that they took away more value and insight on how to become the growth generator we are counting on them to be."

It is a pleasure working with you, and looking downstream, I look forward to future opportunities to work together to master the new realities."

"Mike provided numerous truisms in a thought provoking fashion and many Lipkinisms have already infiltrated the Abbott vocabulary! Mike is excellent at what he does. Feedback from participants was that this was one of the best sessions ever and left extremely motivated!"
