Joe applied sports concepts to our daily jobs and was able to draw similarities between both, keeping in mind the "Individual", the "Team", and the "Competition".  Informative, entertaining, and inspirational.

...not the same old thing.  A great way to jump start internal discussions regarding corporate culture, as well as personal introspection of your role.  Plenty of food for thought.

Indispensable!  His ability to apply his real life experiences with the NFL and business truly brings the value added to his seminar.  His "Playbook" enables anyone to easily access and define their role in the organization and how it dovetails into the overall goals.  It also helps to define what you as a "player" should expect from the "team".  Regular self assessment, open communication channels and clearly defined objectives and goals are important to the success of any team.  The material covered not only practices what should be used in any business organization, but they can be and should be used in anyone's personal life!

On behalf of all the employees of Group Benefits On-Line, Inc. and Group Benefits Financial, Inc., I wanted to express or sincere thanks for such a valuable presentation. Your ability to connect the world of football to the world of business was quite insightful. We found your presentation exciting, challenging and very informational. We have had the opportunity to put into practice many of the ideas and tools that you shared with us. You have provided us with an amazing platform to take our business to the next level. We felt that you truly understood and addressed the problems of our business. The solutions and suggestions that you provided to us will prove to be most beneficial.  Thank you again for such a rewarding experience.

Thanks so much for speaking before us in Savannah (Georgia).  Teamwork is essential to business success and your presentation really drove the point home or at least into the endzone!  I heard an awful lot of "I didn't know that" after your talk, which means that by the most important standard of all, you were a rousing success.  I hope you enjoyed your time in Savannah and your ASFE experience at least as much as we enjoyed having you with us.

Our members responded enthusiastically to Joe's talk. Their comments were highly favorable noting that Joe is a 'regular guy' and his ideas 'make sense'. Joe's style is informal and his presentation is sprinkled with humorous personal stories to drive home his point that the lessons he learned as a player are just as applicable in business as on the football field."

I was initially skeptical on how your NFL experience and team-building principles would translate to an international audience from over 25 countries.  However, you tailored your Gridiron experiences and message in a truly universal fashion.  Our delegates left the meeting with ample "food-for-thought" that will assist the Worldwide Broker Network achieving our goal of being the world's best network.  Joe, thanks for a terrific job!!
