I cannot say enough good things about Phil Keoghan. He took the time to customize his message for our audience, going WAY beyond the usual 'insert industry name here' approach. He delivered an inspiring & entertaining speech that obviously hit home, as we heard attendees talking afterwards about making their lists! Beyond being an excellent speaker with a meaningful message, Phil was simply a pleasure to deal with. He’s on my (very) short list of speakers to invite back for this event in the future. Thank you!
