"I really enjoyed Bryan's presentation. As an individual with ADHD, I truly appreciated his style. Even though I'm from the Baby Boomer generation, it is often difficult for me to sit through seminars (my hyperactivity plays a huge role in this) and I avoid them at all costs. In this day and age, I tend to rely on online webinars to stay current with continuing education. Bryan had my full attention throughout. The information presented was fascinating and his speaking style held my interest. I look forward to his next visit."
Great Lakes Academy, TX
"An urgency for changing teaching behaviors due to changing student learning styles was communicated wittily and effectively. There were plenty of audience participation opportunities to keep them engaged and involved in the session. I sat in the back so I could monitor some of our worst offenders at staff development sessions and the level of engagement was outstanding!"
Comanche ISD

Kingsville ISD
"I provided Bryan with my list of expected outcomes and he hit the nail on the head. This was the first of a six session event called "Developing The Leader In You". The entire session was modeled after one of Bryan's topic areas. This also was the kick-off session for a brand new professional learning initiative for Georgia Career, Technical and Agricultural Educators "Teachers As Leaders And Learners". I look forward to working with Bryan as we prepare some of our other sessions; he truly is a Power Presenter. At the completion of the workshop I screened the participants on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest. Every participant scored the event at 9.5-10. That is what I call hitting a homerun when your audience is teachers who are used to workshops and training events."
Georgia Department of Education
"Great speaker! Some motivational speakers try to motivate but don't give people the knowledge or skills to go back and actually use the information. Bryan's information was very useful in both our professional and business lives. His personal stories and powerful techniques made for a great day."

"I would like to thank you for the hugely successful presentation you offered ATPE members. We received a resounding roar from members to bring you back for future events, and certainly hope to do so. Many participants commented on the usefulness of the information you provided and stated that they felt they could benefit from your message in both their personal and professional lives. As the coordinator of the professional development program, what I most enjoyed about you was your flexibility. You catered your message to fit the needs of the group and handled an overfull-house with grace and ease. You are an excellent speaker, and we look forward to working with you again."
Association of Texas Professional Educators
"I appreciate the fact Bryan took to heart what I detailed in our pre-presentation list and was able to cater towards our needs-tie it in to what we were currently doing in our district. Bryan helped our district drive the message home to our teachers - that we're headed in the right direction despite the obstacles that we're currently facing; he helped us support the cause. .... Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Bryan Fiese's presentation. He kept my complete attention throughout the six hours. That 1950's film was very real to me. I am a true "Veteran", sitting amongst the "Y" generation. I got tickled over some of their conversations regarding the cooking and the male. I learned a lot today. I certainly got out of my comfort zone (preschool) ! I loved every minute of it."
"It was the best we have had. Bryan was perfect. I received comments like" awesome, he could speak all weekend," " he was life changing for me" and "just great, great, great". I am already thinking about how we could get him back here next year. So pencil in the first weekend in November for us, please. I enjoyed meeting him and he was like an old friend."

He also paid attention to the issues we wanted covered for the benefit of the students and kept the students' attention throughout his presentation.

Bev N. - FBLA
"As the State Director, it is a challenge to find speakers that will hold the interest of high school aged members. It is yet another challenge to present instructional material to students about development of leadership skills in a way that will keep the students awake! In October of this year Bryan Fiese was the keynote speaker for our Leadership Conference. Prior to the speaking engagement, Bryan spoke with me at length to find out what information I would like to have the students retain from his presentation. Bryan's staff has been very prompt and professional in making all of the needed arrangements. Both Bryan and his staff were excellent communicators, and there were never any unexpected surprises or last minute negotiations. Bryan was able to present the information in a fresh and exciting way. For two hours he as able to maintain the full attention of 550+ students and advisors. He encouraged the group to interact with each other and to participate in various exercises which fit the theme of our conference. The students were literally jumping out of their seats!!!"

"I want to thank your for wonderful presentation at our officer training event. Your high energy, fast-paced presentation coupled with activities in which the students broke into groups was perfect. The most important aspect of a workshop is that the students got a lot out of your 2 day session and evaluations were excellent. These are comments made on the evaluation forms: "Experienced informed presenter with a wealth of information", "Great!! Awesome!" "Outstanding program". I recommend The Leader in You to any group."

You made that part of planning the conference easy. Consider me a happy customer. You have a wonderful product with a great presentation package."

I recommend this workshop to other school districts and groups. Everyone can benefit from your positive message."

"I was fortunate to be able to see and hear Mr. Fiese this past August at my school. He entertained and educated me on how to deal with the behaviors of not only students but adults as well. Our staff has been using techniques and we have noticed that students are more respective to our desired behaviors. The techniques also helped by giving students ownership and responsibility of their actions. I walked away from his presentation with something that can be used immediately. I would highly recommend Mr. Fiese to any other school district that requests his presentation."

"I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for the great presentation that your gave to our teachers and staff at Cinco Ranch ISD. We have an exemplary faculty and staff, but everyone can improve. In our quest to get kids authentically engaged in their academic work we realize that the presentation of knowledge and ideas is of the utmost importance. Your teacher-training program on EDUTAINMENT fit the bill. Your presentation on how important the teacher's ability is to motivate students and maintain interest was right on target. The topic of the power of the pause was also a great value to many of our teachers. Your presentation was wonderful example of someone who practiced what they preach. All of the techniques you were giving to out teachers to use in their classroom were present in your training. You truly, walk the talk. Thanks again for inspiring and motivating our teachers. I would recommend your presentation to any school or principle looking to take things up a notch in the classroom when it comes to doing quality presentations and motivating students."

Your presentation "Motivations Role in Effective Leadership" provided useful information for our group. Your presentation style was motivating, easy to listen to and learn from. The group interaction was very effective as well as fun. We really appreciate you working with our group's needs in preparing the program. It was very helpful to meet with you and provide our expectations of what we needed to gain from the program. The program agenda, handout material and presentation fulfilled the expectations that we had wanted to achieve. I would also like to add an additional word about your "Power Presenting" program I heard over the summer. The program was very informative and provided great training for giving presentations. You made it fun, entertaining and provided the audience with knowledge and skills to enhance their presentation style."
Clair Bellot - Environmental Health - President
"My name is Gwen Wilson and I have served as the Vice President for three years and president for one year for the Physicians Manager's Association at Presbyterian Hospital. On behalf of the organization I have had Bryan Fiese speak to our members twice and the house has been full both times as managers and administration bring their office staff for his presentation. He is entertaining, comical and the material stays with you mentally in an upbeat way. Talk among the managers has been positive as they speak of how effective he has been within their healthcare practices. His audience participation make his presentations memorable and exciting. He has definitely been a favorite presenter. Often members of the organization have requested that he return in the future as our motivational speaker. The effort that Bryan outs into his presentations shows and is a must for future speaking events. Being an effective motivational speaker, we have asked him to come back regular and plan to do so in the future."
