Dan Thurman was an exceptional speaker – a powerful choice to kick off our conference. He took the time to understand our business and frame his message for maximum impact. Dan’s presentation was high-energy and engaging, and the feedback has been outstanding. From franchise owners to coaches and sales associates, our global audience left empowered to initiate positive change in their personal and professional lives.

Dan Thurmon did an outstanding job as our keynote speaker for this year’s annual franchise convention. He was the perfect choice for a late afternoon spot – a time that can be tricky to really engage and inspire franchisees – and he was able to hit a solid home run for our group! Our franchisees responded with a roaring standing ovation and we heard snippets of Dan’s message being repeated in the hallways following his session. Dan was exceptionally well prepared, understood our brand, our culture, and our desired outcomes. Logistically he was extremely easy to work with and very ‘low-maintenance’ all the way around. I have booked a lot of speakers over the years and Dan ranks as one the best!

Dan was incredible!!!! The managers, staff and Owner Operators couldn’t stop talking about 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!

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.

After hiring you three times, I manage to still find tremendous nuggets of wisdom to take away from your exhilarating presentations.

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.

The power behind your motivating speech helped our field force to make sure about the importance of attitude, take commitment with action and how looking up is superior to looking down!

Dan Thurmon has, for more than ten years, worked with our teams, executives and clients to help them become more successful and productive on the job while continuing to grow personally. His approach to “life balance” is reality-based and extraordinarily effective. In addition to offering great ideas and a fresh perspective, Dan presents himself as an inspirational model – someone with a deep appreciation for what it takes to nurture all aspects of life and a talent for making it irresistible. He truly is a force of nature imparting energy and insight to all he touches.

Just a note of appreciation for the outstanding job you did keynoting our Nebraska Career Education Conference. The teachers and administrators loved the presentation. It received the highest marks on the conference evaluation of any speaker we had. Your combination of entertainment, humor and a powerful message was the perfect blend for our audience. We have had entertaining speakers in the past, but none with a message as powerful as yours. Living off-balance on purpose was exactly what they needed to hear. The depth of content supported by examples you shared and your athletic ability related well to the audience. Again, thanks for the opportunity to work with you. We look forward to future engagements.

I have heard attendees say that you are the BEST presenter they have ever seen, and I have to agree! Your energy and enthusiasm are evident from the moment you take the stage, and it's infectious.

Dan not only made the presentation fun and engaging for our attendees, he seamlessly wove our company messaging into his performance. This was voted the best keynote we have ever had at this conference.

The valuable strategies you were able to visually convey through your presentation gave our participants a strong image and affiliation with our goals and objectives.

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.

We couldn't stop talking about the session. The entertainment elements were all tied to the learning. It was a home run!
