Testimonials

"Thank you so much for being our guest speaker yesterday. At Thryv, we are committed to making sure our employees continue to learn, grow and feel like a part of something. The content was perfect and you left each attendee feeling positive and wanting more. I received more positive comments about your presentation than any other speaker we have had on this program. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your story as did everyone else on the session. You have absolutely found your calling as a speaker and motivator."

"In April 2023, Shawn Harper was our keynote speaker at our Lean Rocket Lab LOCAL Fundraising program. I had originally heard Shawn speak at another event that I had attended in 2019 and was amazed by his passion for winning and knew he was the right speaker for our event. The Lean Rocket Lab LOCAL program is geared toward growing and strengthening our community’s entrepreneurs and small businesses by helping owners gain access to capital in the form of a small business loan program and resources to help their businesses be successful. The audience at the event was remarkably diverse including representatives from small and large businesses, schools, community leaders, and more. Shawn held a special session for our program participants before his main presentation. This was a wonderful opportunity for our small business owners to hear Shawn’s story firsthand and to ask questions. Shawn was a powerful, amazing, and compassionate speaker. He connected with so many and sparked a drive and determination to not just be successful, but to win among the entire audience. Our team has been overwhelmed with the positive feedback we received from this event. American 1 Credit Union and Lean Rocket Lab of Jackson, Michigan, highly recommend Shawn Harper to speak at your event and make a powerful impact on your audience."

"The Fischer Homes BASECAMP training program is designed to develop our Co-Ops and Interns and immerse them in the company culture as they begin their career within the organization. Keynote addresses were a new addition to the program this year. As such, I was specifically looking for a speaker that would set the tone for what our collegiate scholars would experience over the course of the two-day program. The gift we received from Mr. Harper was truly phenomenal. If you are looking for a speaker that will inspire, motivate, challenge, empathize, encourage, engage, and ignite, then look no further. Shawn Harper took us on a journey. From the first sentence, the audience was drawn into his natural storytelling style. We laughed, we paused to reflect, we learned, and at times the room went completely silent as we were on the edge of our seats – hanging on to every word. The wisdom he imparted was priceless. His message will resonate with all – from early childhood to the C-Suite. I appreciate the time he took to ask questions to get to know our organization and our audience. I highly recommend Shawn Harper for your next event. Fischer Homes will be glad to have him again in the future."
