"I work with a lot of speakers who have the sort of domain experience John has (talent acquisition experience at all levels, consulting with cutting edge clients, knows the space inside and out), but they rarely get the types of responses that we get after he has spoken. Commonly, attendees will tell me or write in their reviews that John was the best speaker we brought in for the event."
