Thoughtful, thorough, and totally inspiring. One of the best speakers we've had in years! Alden’s keynote was recognized as one of the top highlights of our conference. He was that good.
“Authentic and engaging – one of the best speakers we’ve ever had at USAA.”
Alden is a winner and an energizer. He presented to a packed auditorium, and he proved to be one of the most engaging speakers I have ever seen. His message and stories were real, entertaining, and enlightening; it prompted many side conversations afterward here – including lots of discussion about how effective he was in conveying the key issues that matter the most to our audience. We hope we can take these messages to our teams with new energy.
“In a word: he’s MESMERIZING – HEAD and SHOULDERS better than any speaker we’ve ever hired.”
"An unforgettable presentation. Alden, you read the room just right and delivered the perfect closing keynote to our people. Your remarkable ability to tell stories that made the audience feel like they were experiencing it first-hand, plus your frameworks for success, made this the best keynote I've witnessed in years. So many came up afterward to say they were changed by what just happened on stage. You helped make our conference a tremendous success and I'm grateful for it."
“Outstanding! Alden spoke to our leadership team at a time when inspiration and drive were imperative. His ability to transfer the discipline of being a Seal and that of the entrepreneur was AMAZING!

I would highly recommend Alden to anyone who is looking to take their business to the next level!”

“Event planners are always on the lookout for speakers who bring it all—a deep level of focus on the audience, frameworks that connect with people, and a ‘fired up!’ attitude. Alden Mills has the whole package. Whether he’s applying lessons learned from his Navy SEAL days to the business world, or sharing stories of personal transformation, Alden has an undeniable knack for moving attendees into a place where their full leadership potential is possible. During the precall, I learned why: Alden applies his own work to his life, every day, looking for continuous improvement as a speaker and workshop facilitator. His energy is infectious, his teachings spot-on, and his empathy for the audience endless as far as I can tell. Alden models “unstoppable” leadership. I will book him again soon.”

After more than a month I still hear students talking about the speech Alden gave to our 2,500 total students. Just last week, my daughter started sharing Alden’s story about Sargent Boston with my wife and son; by the time she was done we were all laughing—but we were also talking about overcoming obstacles to get what we want. One of my teachers has since said repeatedly, ‘Alden is one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard!!!’ Thank you, Alden.
