“Dean Lindsay was asked to speak at our sales leadership conference to support our theme of “a new day for new thinking”. Dean took the quality time up front to understand the deliverables we needed for our specific audience and he delivered as promised. His style, material and overall delivery and facilitation hit the mark for our group. Many participants later commented about enjoying the 4 hour session but also benefiting from it by getting new ideas to bring back to their territories to go after additional sales. I would certainly work with Dean again and recommend others to as well.” – Larry O’Toole, President, DORMA Americas

“For any company or organization looking for a key note speaker, I would like to offer my highest recommendation for Dean Lindsay. Our company engaged Dean to speak at our annual conference on October 5 of this year. I must say in a word, that he was outstanding! He did his homework on our company, understood his audience and fully connected with our attendees. His message was spot on! Dean was entertaining, informative, and motivating, with the right mix of humor. Actually he was very funny. But most importantly, his message resonated with everyone in our audience, as evidenced by the long standing ovation at the end of his speech. We look forward to having Dean speak again at future events for our company. If your company is looking for a key note speaker, kook no further, Dean Lindsay is your guy! You will not be disappointed.” – Steven C. Strickland, Chief Executive Officer. Co-Founder, Workout Anytime Franchising Systems, LLC
