Kent Julian's keynote really hit home with me and was one of the best presentations that I've ever been able to participate in! His ability to engage with the audience, to connect with all the different people represented in the room, and to get us laughing really broke down barriers. And in the end, his message forced me to take a hard look at myself and consider how to put the principle shared into practice in my life and work.

"Thank you, Kent. We couldn’t have asked for a better closing speaker or a better addition to our association family! Your dedication to the team-culture strategies you shared is outstanding. And your caring for our association member went above and beyond.

All our attendees loved you and your engaging keynote. The only thing we would have changed is to make you the opening keynoter instead of our closing keynoter because of the way you would have set the tone for the conference. We look forward to a great future relationship with you in so many ways!"

Your message was definitely embraced by our attendees. As you mentioned, our members are committed to growing in leadership, personal development, and professional development and that’s why the strategies you presented were so well received. And how you presented them made a big difference as well... as a 'gift' instead of as Pigeon Leadership (that was hilarious).

I’ve been in leadership with CMAA for quite a while and it’s refreshing to hear new insights that help me learn more about myself and how to be better. That’s exactly what your E+R=O message did for me. Thank you!

Kent is an energetic and upbeat speaker who definitely keeps the audience engaged. And He brings his presentations to life with real-world examples and interactive experiences that are fun, insightful, and captivating (the "Child of What Decade" exercise was a hilarious trip down memory lane). 

I have always been an advocate of E+R=O and Kent's explanation and examples were fresh and gave each attendee an opportunity to grow in their leadership. 

My only complaint is I wish his keynote would have been longer. So many things that were incredibly insightful were packed into too short of a presentation.

"Your keynote at our Annual Management Conference was EXCEPTIONAL! In our business, we spend a lot of time focusing on how little things make the biggest difference. Your Big is Little and Little is Big message was SPOT ON with the company culture we are trying to build! You helped our team see, in a new light, that service is our product.”

"Kent Julian is a true gift! When he speaks at your conference, he is there to serve, not to be served.

"His E+R=O message was perfect for our association. It not only helped our members grow professionally, but it’s a message that they can apply to their personal lives as well. 

"I shared feedback with Kent from our conference attendees (I cannot always do that with speakers because the feedback isn't always positive) and words like awesome, amazing, and loved it were used over and over to describe both his keynote and breakout presentations."

"Kent Julian knocked it out of the park with our team, which isn’t always easy to do. He was really funny, his stories were extremely engaging, and he was motivational without being corny. But most of all, as a keynote speaker, Kent was real and what he had to say about employee engagement and resiliency really hit home with our team. We had so many great comments!"

"A leadership speaker who speaks on how to create a show-up-and-shine work culture better show up and shine himself. If fact, as an employee engagement expert, he needs to definitely be an engaging speaker with an engaging message that engages your staff. That’s exactly who Kent was and what he did for our IT team at Nationwide Children’s Hospital! His message wasn’t canned. Instead, he customized his main points to the strategic objectives we wanted to communicate during our annual meeting. He even connected with 3 of our employees a month before he arrived to make sure he understood our culture and the unique challenges we faced in the upcoming year. What other keynote speaker does that?!"

"Kent’s 1% Advantage keynote was perfect for our association members. In fact, it was so good that I’ve already been approached by two other leaders that want to book Kent. I told them that not only is Kent’s message excellent (which they saw for themselves), but his positivity and enthusiasm is unparalleled. The same confidence and strength of character he exudes on stage are the same qualities you see when you work with him behind-the-scenes. He’s professional, reliable, and exhibits a can-do attitude at all times. He's simply amazing to work with!"

"Kent is one of the most amazing speakers I've had the opportunity to work with, and I've worked with a lot of speakers from all across the country. I've never worked with someone so down to earth, friendly, easy and accommodating. While his presentations were amazing, which can honestly be said for a lot of excellent professional speakers, it was the fact that he was the same off-stage as he was on the stage that impressed me the most. When you hire Kent, you won’t regret it!

"Kent Julian is a dynamic, engaging speaker who we have used multiple times to keynote at our 48 Days Leadership and Entrepreneurial Events. His ability to take his audience on a journey of laughter and learning is second to none. He’s funny, he’s genuine, he's moving, and his content on personal development and performance is outstanding. Do what I’ve done multiple times… if you want your team members to be engaged at work, boost their productivity, and stay focused on what matters most, book Kent Julian for your next event!"

"Thank you for being so incredibly talented onstage and super easy to work with. For a Meeting Professional like me, you are truly one of the rare jewels out there as a speaker!”
