Select Testimonials

I have never in my 20-year career in association management (and conventions) heard such positive feedback from attendees for any other speaker. I mean that. You were phenomenal.

Angela Cain, CEO, CoreNet Global

Garrett is an incredibly gifted speaker. Clearly an expert on his subject, he delivers in a personable, engaging, and humorous manner. Our audience was hanging on every word, eagerly waiting for the next story. Garrett is very relatable and makes the audience feel that they are experiencing what he experienced. Our reviews were unanimous - Garrett was by far the best speaker we have had in the 15 years of our annual Migrations where over 400 of our members attend a 3-day seminar and tradeshow. COPA cannot recommend Garrett enough and will be asking him back.

Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association

At the risk of sounding cliche, you are truly "out of this world." I have been personally running our Major Gifts event for 10 years now and in the last 24 hours I have had more than one donor say you were the best speaker we ever had. Your presentation was simply perfect. It was informative, heartwarming, funny, inspirational, and simply cool! You were so gracious to all our donors. The event was a success, in no small part, to you. In these very challenging days of division, rising hate, and overall animosity, hearing your message of perseverance and hopefulness was just what our audience needed to hear. Thank you so much for a wonderful night.

Ida Novack, Vice President - Campaign, Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County

In our 20 plus years of holding fundraising events, this year was by far the best one we have ever held. A major reason for this success was your presence as our keynote speaker. I received numerous unsolicited emails from our parents and event attendees commenting on how much they enjoyed the evening and were particularly impressed with your role in the event.

Judy Gordon, President, Westview School

I wanted to express our gratitude as well as everyone in attendance at our client event for your wonderful talks and the graciousness you extended with all the photos taken. It must have been a long night for you, but you were energetic and funny as well as a fabulous speaker. Everyone who was in attendance expressed their appreciation for your top notch presence. It truly added to the "magic" of the evening for them.

Lori A. Mora, Firmwide Events Manager, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP

Both of my kids attended your talk last night and the energy and excitement they had in the ride home was incredible. They couldn't stop retelling your stories to my wife when they finally got back. Contrast that with the complaining that I heard on the way to the talk (how long is this, how long do we have to stay, can I go home...) and I must say that you hit it out of the park. Your presentation was so well done, resonated with both of them, and I hope it will inspire them to push through adversity, take risks, and set goals. You have definitely made a lasting impression on them and I don't think they will ever forget your message.
