"On behalf of the Yale University African American Affinity Group, I just wanted to thank Mr. John for taking time out of his busy schedule to serve as YAAA’s featured guest speaker for our YAAA Speaker Series event on March 21, 2013. The attendees truly enjoyed Mr. John’s presentation and I continue to receive rave reviews. It was thought provoking and he was absolutely phenomenal.

"As the founder and CEO of the Early Stage East Venture Capital Conference, one of the largest on the East Coast, I have had the opportunity to host several keynote speakers since its inception in 1998. Daymond John is clearly one of the best! Daymond has an innate ability and powerful presence that invites every attendee to turn off their cell phones, Blackberrys, iPhones and other devices because they don't want to miss a word. Each attendee feels Daymond is speaking to them one on one. He infuses lessons, humor, insight and experience into his keynotes unlike anyone else we have hosted. I strongly recommend Daymond when planning your next event. You won’t be sorry nor will your audience be disappointed. "

"The Babson College community is still buzzing about Daymond John! As the #1 school in entrepreneurship education, we expect guest speakers to give us practical and actionable advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur! Daymond John reset the bar! Not only was he smart, funny, warm and engaging, he also challenged the audience to take notes on the keys to his success: S H A R K. And Babson students, faculty and staff all took notes! He even gave the audience a call to action! And many have accepted the call! In short, Daymond John is an exceptional speaker who instantly captures an audience and leaves the audience wanting more. And perhaps most compelling is what happened after the standing ovation! Daymond John played Shark to 3 students with business ideas. These students competed among their peers to earn an opportunity to pitch to Daymond John! Daymond John was masterful in how he responded to each student’s idea and gave each very practical advice on how to move forward. The winning team will never be the same! I highly recommend Daymond John to be a guest speaker or guest lecturer in any academic institution. He is selfless, caring, intelligent and down-to-earth—a true role model for all students today!"

"Daymond John was a phenomenal speaker to have at the Women’s Conference hosted by California Governor Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver. Daymond’s keynote address on how to negotiate effectively at work and at home received overwhelming praise from conference attendees. Many people find it difficult to communicate clearly and speak up for themselves. Daymond’s speech addressed this critical area, giving women the appropriate tools to implement good communication in both their public and personal lives. Daymond captivated his audience with his positive outlook and engaging style of presentation. As a conference organizer managing the logistics for over 160 high level speakers including everyone from First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah, Jane Fonda, Deepak Chopra, Matt Lauer, and Diane Sawyer over three different days, I noted that Daymond and his entire team were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism and experience made my job easier; they were cooperative and responsible on every level. Daymond John is a fantastic speaker that will be an asset to any event. He is inspirational for those who hear him; he provides excellent tools that people can benefit from in their daily lives. Daymond is an especially good fit for a business or corporate team, enhancing important communication skills. I give my enthusiastic recommendation for Daymond’s participation in events like these. "

"I enjoyed getting to know Daymond when he spoke to our Marketing organization here at General Mills. His presentation was well received and I heard lots of positive feedback from our attendees. He is a great story teller and is engaging to listen to. He shared his expertise on how to build a business with no budget, how passion drives success, and how to create your own niche in a crowded market. "

"Please pass along our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Daymond for his session. It was truly fantastic and I received only tremendous positive feedback on the presentation. The only critique was that everyone wanted more and would have enjoyed having him stay longer. We had high expectations and he exceeded them all. "

"In all, this was an extremely successful program! Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE LOVED Daymond John. As well as his presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed his presentation—brought back some fond memories of my own with the music and the pictures. In fact, one of Board of Trustee members stated, he was one of the best lecturers, to date, because he captured and maintained everyone’s attention with his style of engagement. "

"When considering sponsorship opportunities, major companies like P&G must be sure the investment has a direct connection with our brands and business philosophy. Daymond John exceeded all expectations. Rarely does a speaker customize so much of their presentation to meet the customer's needs while keeping it informative, entertaining, and inspiring. Daymond invested significant time understanding the industry and what we wanted out of his presentation. He then incorporated those key messages in the keynote. He motivated the audience, met our business needs, and gave 100% to every activity. "

"Daymond John’s involvement with the Miller Lite Tap the Future program was key to our program’s success. Daymond provided sound and valuable advice to our contestants, and his high energy during the Live Pitch events was infectious. It was very impressive at how he openly extended himself to attendees, taking quality time to speak and engage with guests. Furthermore, Daymond and the Shark Branding team went above and beyond when supporting all promotional efforts and simply embraced the program as a whole. Not only was Daymond a great asset to secure media interviews, but he never failed to reinforce our brand messaging in every interview. His social media engagement in support of #TaptheFuture resulted in an increase of entries and a packed house at each event. It is clear that Daymond was a great fit for Miller Lite Tap the Future program delivering great value and results. We look forward to working on future campaigns. "
