Scott Friedman

Testimonials

"You have the ability to make humor a key to influencing people's opinions and actions. I even took the opportunity to observe you mingling amongst my guests at our welcome reception the day before our session began. You make complete strangers feel as if they've known you for years. You brought that comfort and ease to your presentation and folks were mimicking your 'message' days after you left."

"I set about to make the 2011 Spring Conference the 'best of the best; from 30 conferences in the past 10 years. Scott was the conference opening speaker and was the first on on my list. Need I say more? He is always a "safe bet" in that he has very clean humor, along with a message that resonates with all age groups."

"We recently had the privilege of having Scott speak at our NECA EXPO. He was a huge hit with the inspiring message he gave the attendees. Scott's words hit home with our audience and we received feedback that they truly appreciated him making them think about what it means to create their future instead of waiting for it to happen."

"We recently had Scott provide an all staff training on humor. His ability to go with the flow was amazing. The first day of our conference it poured rain, and we were in an event tent ... outdoors! He references rain songs, and used the situation completely to his advantage, which helped ease the staff into a positive frame of mind so they could appreciate the training. His interest and support of our programs and the depth of his understanding was commendable.

The staff enjoyed hearing the messages of humor, and all of the evaluations were positive, with regard to Scott's presentation. He helped them reframe the work they do and tackle difficult issues with humor and humility. Here are a few words our staff had to say:
