Testimonials
“This will in fact be the fifth consecutive year that we have invited you to be a principal speaker at our flagship “Growing the Company” conference, and I have no doubt that you will once again achieve the highest ratings and attract the largest audiences. And of course, your articles in the magazine have always been very well received.”
William C. Taylor“Your keynote address kicked off the conference setting an excellent tone and generating just the right energy for the two day conference that followed. “We wanted to “start a revolution” at our conference and help revolutionize the way our members look at their own businesses. You nailed it.”
Charlie Touchette“Marty was mesmerizing. He speaks directly and clearly. You can understand what he just said to the point that you could go repeat it. That’s probably the mark of a brilliant speaker, not just a great speaker. I felt confident walking away that I could take that material and run with it instantly. That was profound for me. Almost every single thing he said impacted me. It was one of those profound moments where you go, I met someone who actually gets it.”
Joey Dalessio“His presentation, experiential exercises and content were excellent. As a matter of fact it was the first time a speaker for my Vistage group earned perfect scores of 5’s on both of the key metrics of content and delivery. He also left my group with more actionable take-a-way ideas than any other speaker. I have also had great feedback on the follow-on work he did for some of my members. Thank you for providing such resources.”
Bill LaRosa“Mark Twain said, ‘Thunder is good, Thunder is impressive, but it is lightning that does the work.” In Marty Jacknis, we have a lightning rod. But as always the only measure worth the accounting is what the audience said.”
