Tim Gard was the perfect choice for the culmination of our customer event. We thought we were taking a slight risk by switching gears from previous years and having a more light-hearted closing session, rather than a recap of business topics discussed, blah-blah, etc. It turned out to not be a risk at all, because Tim did so much more than just "perform his act". Our pre-event prep calls demonstrated Tim's interest in wanting to get to know our business, our customers, our goals… I was very impressed with that. He wasn't simply trying to find buzz words or catch phrases to work into his "show", in an artificial attempt to make connections… he does truly get-it… that business conference attendees are people - people who have experiences, frustrations, stories of their own and senses of humor. I would whole-heartedly endorse Tim for any company looking to infuse a dose of intelligent humor into any event where people are gathered for a common cause.

At our Global meeting in Denver Tim far exceeded our expectations. Not only was it appropriate for our Christian based company, it fit our theme, had us laughing out loud and motivated us. Tim has a message that can be applied long after the presentation.

As the host for our company's annual Leadership Conference for the past twenty years, I'm constantly searching for talented individuals who can add that spark that makes each year better than the one before; and when I find an individual who has been able to accomplish this not once but twice, I want to tell the world about it. Tim Gard is super-talented, funny enough to make you cry, smart enough to include a worthy message behind the humor, and on top of that truly a nice person. We "discovered" Tim's talents in 2001 and he was a huge hit with our audience. He made me look very wise for booking him. In 2015, for our 50th Anniversary, we brought Tim back for an encore performance—and wouldn't you know it—he wowed everyone once again. Tim's so talented, that my own career has benefitted from booking him. If you are planning a meeting and need someone who can bowl your audience over with laughter, while delivering a message, consider Tim Gard: He will make you look like you know exactly what you're doing!

You were one of the top speakers of the conference and your message that taking life too seriously can be bad for our health and well-being. You provided everyone with a different perspective that many of us can truly appreciate.

Tim Gard spoke at our event in December 2013. Our audience spans the globe with eight US-based locations and four international, yet somehow, Tim's message resonated with all. In our follow-up survey, many participants (both domestic and international), remarked that Tim's presentation was their favorite portion of the day, which included many additional events.

We loved him! Our audience loved him! His message and delivery was top shelf and very closely meshed with our theme. We even had retailers calling us today saying "what did you do to our people?" I was also told that he had a few of our grown men in tears during the session!
