What Dan’s Clients Say About Him
“Dan, I was so impressed with your attention to detail, listening skills during our times together and final presentation. You hit a home run with us! I believe the reason you did such a fantastic job was your personal desire to get to know what we really wanted from you. Your ability to weave what you learned during our meetings and your trip with one of our consultants in the field really helped build up your credibility with our field staff. You had a perfect balance between entertainment and education.”
Mark G. Moraitakas
Chick-fil-a
“We have restaurants in 33 countries around the world and we host a Global Conference every two years. Our most recent conference was last October and Dan Thurmon presented a keynote to our group of over 300. I can’t tell you how incredible this gentleman is…I’ve been around a number of years and have heard presentations from some of the most noted speakers, experts and leaders in the country and I was overwhelmed by Dan’s keynote. He combined feats of physical daring while delivering the most incredible…on target message of how to manage what is really important in your business as well as personal life. His presentation was spot on the money and would have been outstanding even if he gave it without his “props”…I won’t give away his secrets but I personally guarantee he will have your team, audience, crowd etc on their feet and moved to action. If you want to motivate, inform, educate, entertain and deliver a presentation that your team will not forget and will talk about for many years…by all means pick Dan to “deliver the difference” for you. Our franchisees, vendors, company management and support teams still fondly recall his message and method.”
Ken Meyers, President
Romacorp, Inc.
“Dan was incredible!!!! The managers, staff and Owner Operators couldn’t stop talking the session. I was looking for learning and motivation in an environment that would not be boring .Dan delivered exactly that. The juggling, unicycle, acrobatics and the handstand on the podium were all tied to the learning. It was a home run!”
Jim Mulcahy, Training Director

What Our Clients Say About Us!
“SPEAK! made finding the perfect speaker for our annual Spring Meeting SO EASY! Katrina listened to what we wanted to accomplish and quickly presented us with the perfect options to choose from. I felt confident from the start that we would have a first-rate speaker to really support both our franchisees and our vendor partners. As a conference planner with so many details to manage, I loved SPEAK!’s proactive checklist and timeline — logistically, they were amazing to work with. The entire experience couldn’t have been easier nor produced better results and I’d recommend Katrina and her team at SPEAK! to any franchise company looking for outside talent!”
Karen Cady, Conference & Event Director

“We worked with SPEAK! to find the right keynote speakers for our recent franchise convention and loved how easy they made the process for us. I very much appreciate that the speakers they helped us secure understood franchising, were easy to work with and did their homework to genuinely connect with our franchisees. We look forward to working with Katrina and her team for our next event!”
Adam Stiles, Director of Operations & Support

“We love working with SPEAK! They made it all so easy and we really appreciate how they helped us manage the speaker process with their proactive systems. We have already started working with them to find another great speaker for 2015 and we just finished our 2014 event!”
