Corporate Event Marketing Association (CEMA) Annual Conference “Wow! I was amazed by the impact that Keith had on our group at our annual meeting. He was able to take a group of already tight-knit individuals and help them to better the relationships that they have with one another. I have already seen our members start to apply Keith’s principles in with their teams and clients.” - Executive Director, Erika Brunke International Advertising Association (IAA) Global Marketing Conference "Keith was the perfect opening keynote speaker at our conference. His energy woke up the room and got the Summit off to a sizzling start. You could see the audience perk up and hang on Keith's every word. His anecdotes from his years as chief marketing officer really resonated with this particular audience. People were inspired and energized by Keith's presentation. In fact, I had several attendees ask for Keith's contact information to secure him for their future sales and marketing meetings. In a day which also featured keynotes from Mark Cuban and CNN's Anderson Cooper, Keith was the conference's most talked about speaker." - Chairman of the Board/Senior Vice President, Marty Shapiro, CNN International Society of Consumer Affairs Professionals (SOCAP) Annual Conference "Keith's message was extremely empowering and insightful. His ability to clearly communicate the strategies and practices critical for building deeper, more personal relationships provided our members a roadmap that will allow them to develop meaningful relationships long after the conference. His messages on personal branding and individual currency helped our members shift their current perceptions about their profession on both a micro and macro level." - President, Matthew D'Uva Meeting Professionals International (MPI) "Your (Keith)'s speech was by and large the most discussed event at our conference! Your zeal and your enthusiasm was not only seen but felt throughout the entire audience. Your insight on how to turn an ordinary conference, a meeting, or any other type of corporate event into an opportunity to foster deep personal relationships provided our members with a refreshing new outlook that will forever change the way they conduct business. Your concepts of transparency and vulnerability allowed our members to immediately connect and interact with one another a level I thought was never possible. I still am receiving emails to this day recognizing the impact Keith’s message has had on both their professional and personal lives!” - President & CEO, Bruce Macmillan Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association Annual Leadership Conference We could not have chose a better way to kick off our conference than opening with Keith.

He began his presentation off stage, down in the middle aisle near the audience, speaking directly to the attendees. Keith was engaging, candid and inspiring.

Keith challenged attendees to go beyond networking, stop focusing on themselves and get out there and create meaningful relationships that will help take their business and personal life to the next level." -Chief Operations Officer, Tammy J.

His message was perfect for our ERA brand and pertinent to all." - Vice President of Operations, Stephanie Reyna Coldwell Banker Annual Elite Retreat “The speech [Keith] delivered was one of the best I’ve heard in years at this conference.

You do a great job.” - President & CEO, Jim Gillespie CB Richard Ellis Brokerage, The Americas "I am pleased to have worked with Keith Ferrazzi.

The methodology has enabled us to be more transparent with one another and helped our senior people focus on what they need to get done to drive our business." - President, Christopher Ludeman Colliers International "We had Keith for about an hour and a half this morning and I have to say I think it's the best keynote I've seen in the last five years of these conferences. It was amazingly engaging. There were 450 brokers in that room and they had no intention of leaving. The great thing about it: I booked Keith, I didn't really know much about him, but he made me look good today. The feedback has been phenomenal. The Board of Directors spent a lot of time with Keith after the session which says a lot to me. Wally Pinkard, the Chairman, was amazingly impressed along with a lot of the other Board of Directors. He really energized the crowd. What I heard, from both what is going on in the market and at Colliers USA, this was the message, Keith hit on the points that were so important. It's all about relationships. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for our partnership with independently owned firms. These brokers have to work together. Keith really made them think and I think it's going to make a huge impact on the conference today, tomorrow and people are going to take that back to their office and hopefully it's going to make a difference in their business." - Director of Events, Laura Cuddihy CB Richard Ellis Brokerage, The Americas "I am pleased to have worked with Keith Ferrazzi.

The methodology has enabled us to be more transparent with one another and helped our senior people focus on what they need to get done to drive our business." - President, Christopher Ludeman   Prudential Fox & Roach Annual Sales Meeting “Keith’s message came at a much needed time. While many of our realtors have adapted and outperformed the current market, their future long term success remains questionable in an industry of constant flux. We are in the business of relationships. Our success hinges on our ability to develop, nurture, and expand meaningful relationships both internally and externally with out clients. Keith has helped us bridge a gap to understanding the added value proposition of building genuine relationships that transcend the current transactional mindset indicative of this industry.” - President & CEO, Larry Flick Irving Hughes Private Client Event "I hope you benefitted as much from the event as much as our team and clients did. You brought us closer to our clients and we have seen a dramatic shift in the way we do business and create relationships with our clients and prospects." - Founder & President, Craig Irving Sales Mastery & The Duncan Group “There are few people that understand the power of building relationships the way Keith Ferrazzi does. His ability to get the crowd to interact and build such intimate relationships during his talk is some of the most powerful skills I’ve seen in a speaker in my many years as a speaker, myself. [You] really hit this one out of the park!” - Founder & President, Todd Duncan
