The following testimonials are taken from recommendations that I've received from actual people who I have touched throughout my career:
“As a person charged with running a strategic training organization that is closely aligned with business operations, I can tell you that Neil has a unique way of balancing operations and talent with the strategic goals of any company. I've worked with him for several years and was constantly inspired by his motivational presentations, entertained by his approach and amazed at how connected he was to people at all levels. He has the ability to present clearly defined goals, motivate individuals towards those goals, with the right mix of execution, accountability and performance”
“In a previous position as a vice president at the American Institute of CPAs, we hired Neil as a speaker at national conferences a number of times. As an AICPA leader I was always confident in Neil's delivery - he WOW'd our audiences every time! Neil is such a high energy speaker and he really engages with the audience. Whether the audience was 150 or 500, he gets his message across in a way that is fun to listen to. He also has the confidence to verbalize what everyone is thinking which helps him connect so well with conference participants. People remember Neil, and take value from his lessons. He was also very easy to work with from my perspective. I recommend Neil and I know he will be successful.”
“Neil is by far the best supervisor and mentor I had in my 20 year search career. His positive attitude, motivation level, and conviction for our industry is an example for all senior executives. Neil was originally my Regional Vice President where he was responsible for among other things, training on client management and selling techniques. He is the most effective and charismatic trainer and mentor I have had. I highly recommend him to any organization in any industry with a sales force to develop. His results were outstanding.”
“I clicked with Neil immediately; I admired and respected him as a Leader. Neil always fascinated me with his powerful communication skills; he was one of the best public speakers and managers I had ever witnessed. I truly enjoyed listening to him and his encouraging, suggestive ideas were greatly appreciated. Till this day I will never forget how much Neil has impacted my career. After my 1st full year of transferring into a perm role for the Millennium division I had become the #1 Perm Recruiter in the country. At my first Superstars in 2000, I received the New Rookie reward. The first person I hugged and wanted to share my excitement with was Neil. His support and acknowledgment meant more to me then he even knew. Throughout my career at AOC/Ajilon Neil always made it a point to acknowledge my efforts and truly made me feel like a "Super Star". If you ever get the opportunity to work with Neil; consider yourself lucky. He has an enormous amount of positive influence that will greatly impact the results of any organization. I hope I get the opportunity to work with him again in the near future!!!!”

".. He has the rare ability to see the big picture of an organization but also truly understands what it takes to create and sustain a “winning culture” that will produce the revenue results. Neil is one of the most charismatic and knowledgeable motivational speakers and trainers that I have witnessed in my professional career. His intelligence, sales knowledge and enthusiasm for the staffing industry are infectious at all levels of an organization. I have never seen someone make such a positive and immediate impact on an organization and have the ability to engage and motivate employees to perform and produce at high levels. He was instrumental in creating an innovative and interactive sales training program that produced some of the top sales professionals in the staffing industry. He is a dynamic communicator on both an individual and group level and always challenges and encourages people to perform at a high level of excellence. Every time my colleagues and I participated in Neil’s training sessions, we came away with better sales tools, knowledge and enthusiasm to do our jobs better and saw immediate sales results. Not only does Neil have an innate ability to quickly access the strengths and weaknesses of an organization, he also has the skills necessary to provide and communicate the right solutions needed to take a company to the next level. I highly recommend Neil if you are looking to train and invest in your employees’ development and increase your organization’s profits, especially in these challenging economic times. He is truly exceptional!”
