Testimonials

Dan’s expertise in the subject matter was evident, as he seamlessly connected his content to the industry. The feedback we received from participants was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting Dan’s ability to engage, educate, and leave a lasting impression. Dan’s professionalism and commitment to delivering a memorable experience truly elevated our conference.

We hired Dan to speak at our inaugural user conference at Forethought. Dan not only delivered, but he exceeded my wildest expectations. Dan’s stories around real-world, shareable customer experiences, meant actionable insights for our customers (and for me personally!). They made me rethink my own experiences, both as a customer and a service provider. Dan is a masterful storyteller, great human, and a treat to get to meet in person! Highly recommend!

We have had the great fortune of working with Dan on two events this year. The first, a keynote at our annual awards meeting. He was such a hit that we brought him back to facilitate an interactive Experience Maker [workshop] session with our teams. The feedback for both events was nothing but positive with many rave reviews. The additional content available with his books, podcast, blog, Experience Maker Challenge have enabled us to create a robust initiative for the year that our teams are excited about. Highly recommend whether you’re looking for keynote, workshops, or consulting.
