Stan has become our go-to guy for improving our customer service and has forged the path to our schools becoming community-centered and aware."

Stan's presentation really resonated with our group, which was primarily comprised of engineers. So, much so that I received additional requests from members of the group to participate in our company's "Big Read" of "What's Your Purple Goldfish." Direct quotes I received from attendees include, "Stan was incredible!!! And, very inspiring." "Stan was a top notch presenter and I was thrilled to see MSA willing to go outside the norm for these sessions."

Thank you for being our keynote speaker in Nashville and your presentation was outstanding! We continue to receive notes from our customers and so many commented to us, on how your presentation made them think about their business and customer service.

We were very fortunate to have Stan present to our group. Stan is one of the most engaging speakers we have ever had. He immediately connected with our group and shared valuable insights and related to customer experience. After the event, our membership agreed that we all took away valuable lessons that we could apply to our business. I wish we could have him present every month!

"Stan Phelps owns the room when he speaks. His well-crafted and on-target messages, his own brand of humor, and his subject matter mastery captivate audiences and his speaking take-aways inspire action. He had our group 100% engaged and excited."

Stan attracted a near sellout crowd for AMA Triangle in 2017 + did not disappoint. In fact, 100% of those surveyed agreed he was an engaging speaker and it's easy to see why — he's whip smart, funny + presents content in a way that's easy to understand. I highly recommend him.

Stan captivates audiences and delivers valuable insight in the form of engaging stories making people feel connected. He has great presence and energy and the feedback we got from his presentation was formidable. Not only did he share interesting information but the audience left inspired with new ideas for their own businesses. Inspirational, motivational - Stan kickstarts creativity for business people who want to better their business and take things to a new level.

Stan is a terrific presenter, storyteller and speaker. Very engaging. Easy to follow. Always leaves you feeling inspired and motivated to do more. Most importantly to me, Stan is a really good THINKER. He thinks abstractly as well as concretely. He thinks different. He sees things that most people don't see and, because he is such a good writer and presenter, he then is able to help other people think different, too. Who could ask for more?

Thank you Stan. Everyone was engaged and really enjoyed the session.

Stan did a great job and I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from the team. It was insightful and we got some good takeaways from the workshop.

Stan is able to make the changes that are affecting every business understandable and pertinent. His road map for tackling the challenges of today's business climate is engaging and applicable.

Stan was the perfect speaker to kick off our new year of programming. He's a master in delivering the right mix of information sharing, teaching points, humor, entertainment, and engagement. Our attendees and staff had nothing but rave reviews for his keynote. We hope to secure him for a future keynote on another Goldfish topic. Thank you, Stan!

Stan was the keynote speaker at our annual customer success conference in August 2018. Stan's enlightening presentation, "Standing Out in a Sea of Sameness" motivated the customer success team to think about how they could take it to the next level in the way they serve their own customers. Everyone walked away rejuvenated and even more excited about their team and company. Stan was wonderful and easy to work with. He was very committed to our team and to me in helping to create an outstanding experience for all.

Stan delivered an incredible keynote at our 2019 Leadership Impact Summit for a large global audience. His presentation on Engagement and Recognition captivated our leaders as it was truly customized to our audience based on Stan's excellent preparation. Stan not only nailed the delivery of the material, he made the presentation interactive, engaging, humorous and upbeat. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to work with Stan and his Business Manager and will be looking to use Stan for future events.

We hired Stan in 2018 to keynote our annual North American Marketing Summit for Roche Diabetes. Our Marketing team covers multiple customer types, from patient (end-users) to Payers, from Healthcare Professionals to self-funded Employers. Add in the representation of two unique countries - Canada and the US, and you have a relatively complex and diverse set of challenges our team faces. Despite that, Stan was able to find very pertinent common ground for all the Marketers in the room, challenging them in the areas of loyalty and retention by driving differentiation. Would absolutely recommend Stan for those seeking a dynamic speaker who will help push their teams to higher levels!

Stan Phelps is a high energy, knowledgeable speaker who I would recommend to any group. Stan is very personable and engages the audience very well. His approach provides a forum for attendees to learn from him and each other.

Stan did an outstanding job presenting at our winter conference in front of 200 of our members. He was very polished and covered a very technical topic with relevant examples that made it easy for even the non-technical audience to understand. He was great to work with and we would definitely work with him again in the future events.

We have had Stan Phelps speak to our TSMC twice over the last few years. Each time he presents well and delivers engaging and relevant content to motivate and inspire our group of sales and marketing professionals. We look forward to a future return.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Stan on a speaking engagement at a national public relations conference, and later in my career, I was fortunate to have him speak to our employees at Guinness World Records.

Along with his impressive business acumen, Stan has a memorable and unique value proposition around employee engagement and customer service that allows his audience members to come way with actionable items once they return to the office.

Stan was a great choice as our keynote speaker for our annual event. He started the conference off with energy, enthusiasm, and strategically-placed comedic relief. Not only did he provide a nice little booklet to summarize his material, he handed out gifts for participation, and offered a free e-book to attendees.

Stan is fun and engaging as a speaker and truly takes the time to understand his audience. We have booked Stan a couple of times now, and I know our members would welcome him again. If you are looking for an outstanding speaker that can grab the audience's attention, then without hesitation, we recommend Stan.

Stan's Purple Goldfish workshop was compelling and high energy. My team left feeling jazzed and eager to put into practice what they learned and discussed. Because the concepts and stories were so relevant to our entire organization, we're bringing Stan back to keynote our annual North America Sales/Marketing/Customer Service meeting this summer.

Stan Phelps? Hmmm…. Let's see. Provocative , forward-looking insights? CHECK Practical ideas backed with real-world credibility? CHECK Engaging and entertaining presentation? CHECK It's easy to recommend a speaker who checks all the boxes, but the "little something extra" is that Stan is a true professional and extremely easy to work with.

Stan is a master presenter that I have had the pleasure of working with around the topic customer experience as a competitive differentiator and an essential element of business success. He quickly captures the attention of an audience and drives their passion through stories that we all can readily relate to.

Stan Phelps have visited the Kingdom of Bahrain the first time in 2015 when we engage him to speak with The Bahrain Telecommunications Company (Batelco) Senior Management Team. Since then he has visited Bahrain every year to speak to variety of our Clients. Stan has a unique way of engaging with his audience by giving real life examples and interacting in a fun engaging and a value adding way. It is such a pleasure working with Stan and I definitely recommend him to organizations who look for an inspirational, motivational and engaging Speaker with an International Exposure.

Stan presented at our annual INTERACT user's conference in 2018. When you have over 300 people in attendance, it's hard to deliver a message that will resonate with everyone there in a dynamic, interactive way. But Stan Phelps did just that. We received rave reviews from our customers—many customers were asking Stan about how to get his Goldfish book and coming to him for advice on some of their business initiatives and challenges. Now, we're just looking for other events so we can have Stan back!

Stan Phelps was a great addition to our line up of speaker at our 2019 National Dealer Meeting. He was very engaging and went out of his way to be a part of our festivities. He inspired and energize the crowd and made a huge impact on our dealers. Stan - I have had several dealers share with me how you inspired them to be different in their local markets. I also had several dealers share with me their Lagniappe ideas they have implemented. Thank you for challenging us to think differently and help them make a memorable difference with their customers. Thank you!

I booked Stan to give a keynote to my global demand generation team about the value of building a quality customer experience. Stan was phenomenal.

He tailored the content of his presentation to the challenges of our organization and our team walked away energized and excited to apply the techniques he covered. I'd book him again in a heartbeat.

Stan gave a very engaging keynote address to our customers and it was the perfect way to kick-off our inMomentum conference. Stan uses his experience to communicate the impact of embracing what makes us, our brands and organizations unique and how we can leverage that uniqueness to stand out in a loud and cluttered world. He creates such a positive energy within his audience and takes the time to chat with them and make their experience memorable. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Stan at a future inMotionNow event.

Your message fit perfectly with Dave's team's message on customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Everyone at our training today was very impressed with your dynamic, engaging presentation and ability to generate interest and thought-provoking activities around our business.

Stan Phelps is a a whip-smart, trivia-spouting, game-playing knowledge machine who gets to the core sensibility and psychology of what it means to be different, weird, and flat-out better. Book Stan if you want your organization to learn, laugh and leave with a better sense of who they are and how they can be better communicators, marketers and people. He was no doubt the best speaker our organization has had in years.

AMA Wichita always looks forward to Stan's presentations and workshops, which are as informative as they are entertaining.

I have heard from many of the attendees giving the day very positive reviews. Especially appreciated was the interactive methods Stan used to make the message "real".

Stan was captivating speaker and knew how to connect with his audience in our session. Stan delivered an amazing all-day session for us on building differentiation through customer experience design.

He is a great storyteller and can balance how his content can become action to drive business outcomes.

Stan was absolutely amazing! He had everyone so engaged throughout his presentation and used real-life stories to keep it interesting. We were presenting to dental offices, so he even tailored his presentation to focus on the patient experience specifically in healthcare. I would recommend him to everyone!

He also practices his own message and has a knack for having everyone think he's speaking directly to them. Really personable and sincere. As a keynote speaker, he'd be a great choice for kicking off the conference day.

This past June, Stan donated his time to come and give his Pink Goldfish presentation at our HOBY NC West youth leadership conference in Winston-Salem, NC. He truly helped to inspire North Carolina's next generation of young leaders and gave them excellent advice, perspective, and guidance for moving forward with their lives and their leadership.

In the presentation there was plenty of participant participation and it was as if he knew people in the room before the meeting took place. The meeting ended by Stan pulling together three themes and stories that exactly targeted what each person in the room needed to hear. His knowledge and repertoire is wide but his delivery is all inclusive and powerful.

Stan has been a phenomenal supporter of our AZ Growth Advisors Community! We work with over 100 company executive leadership teams in the Phoenix area.

I collaborated with Stan to customize video content from Diamond Goldfish for our National Sales Meeting. We worked together to tie key learnings from the book to a Sales Rep's world to make the messaging more familiar and impactful. Stan was so easy to work with and jumped right in. He was eager to know more so we even set time up for him to talk to a few of our Sales Reps to hear their challenges.

Stan was a highlight among the speakers I invited this year. Keeping a group of knowledgeable students engaged can be challenging—not for Stan! With his range of stories and examples, everyone left the session with a new perspective on branding and strategic differentiation (and pink!).

We welcomed back Stan for the Wellness and Productivity Workshop after taking the Presentation Skills Workshop a year ago. Stan utilizes an engaging speaking style with hands-on activities to reinforce workshop learning. His material again was relevant to our entire organization, regardless of level, making both workshops impactful for our annual brand-building organization training.

If you want energy and knowledge, hire Stan! After going to countless conferences and seminars Stan is one of the few speakers that I have seen that entertains, energizes, but still provides tangible takeaways. He was one of our best-rated events for our AMA Chapter and we can't wait to bring him back!

Stan presented his 'Effective Communications and Presentation Skills' workshop to me and approximately 25 of my colleagues.

Stan joined our team of marketers for a development opportunity on effective communication and presentation skills. He was engaging, insightful, and clearly an expert on the topics we explored together.

Stan has amazing speaking skills and listening to him is itself a learning experience. We will continue to use Stan in other areas of training and looking forward to the next events.

Stan did a great job of communicating concepts, ideas and tools to help my members be more effective CEOs. I highly recommend him to speak to your group.

Stan spoke for us at the American Marketing Association Summit on May 1, 2020. We were so excited to have the opportunity to have Stan address the audience of leading marketers from across the country. Stan's enthusiasm, content, and presentation were by far the best we've ever seen. Over the years, we have had a number of high-profile presenters but no-one comes close to the engaging and thought-provoking presentation that Stan hand-crafted for the AMA. We were so pleased as an international organization, that we will continue to use him (if available) moving forward. As a co-chair for the event, I can confirm that we received emails for weeks after Stan's presentation thanking us for bringing him in. If you want to elevate your event, Stan Phelps is your guy.

"I co-lead a large professional association regional chapter and invited Stan in twice to talk to our group. Both times his talk not only held our attention, but he captivated us and the team's engagement with him was off the charts. Stan knows how to communicate with busy professionals in ways that cut through the noise, get his points understood to ultimately drive action and results. He doesn't just explain when he speaks, but rather he inspires.

I thought you were genius with your creative marketing techniques.

A true testament to Stan, our program was originally scheduled for an hour but the program lasted nearly an hour and 30 minutes due to attendees request. We will have Stan back again soon.

Stan came to speak at a meeting for a group that I volunteer for that helps people in career transition.

I noticed that there was quite a bit of follow up conversation afterward and I also received glowing feedback from attendees during the weeks following the presentation.

We were very fortunate to book Stan for the closing keynote presentation of our Annual Conference in 2018. Customer experience is crucial to winning in the marketplace today. Stan helped our audience of marketers realize actionable ways to improve customer experience by doing little things that drive value or reduce customer effort. He illustrated several relevant examples which made for a dynamic presentation!

When we heard that Stan would be in town for a conference, we jumped at the chance to book him for a speaking engagement with our chapter of marketers. He was a joy to work with and gave a fun, quirky and interactive presentation that literally got the audience up on its feet. Our event with Stan sold out weeks in advance…so next time we'll need to book a bigger venue!

I wanted to thank you again for coming to our annual conference, sharing some energy and interest stories to inspire us to be a little weird and market how we're different.

I would highly recommend Stan for any speaking engagement!

We usually don't have events in the summer for our American Marketing Association chapter, due to historically low turnouts. When we learned Stan was on a book tour, we couldn't pass him up.

Stan was at once enthusiastic, engaging and entertaining in his presentation, never mind informative and insightful.

During the past year, our member electric cooperatives experienced an unprecedented level of disruption due to circumstances related to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Stan's presentation style is energetic, personal and engaging. He is indeed a master of his craft and subject matter.

Stan Phelps gave a rousing Ted-like talk at our nonprofit social enterprise. His audience included members of our at-risk workforce, including those re-entering society.

This talk resonated more deeply and powerfully than I think even Stan expected.

Stan spoke to a group that consisted of roughly the top fifty leaders in our largest company. These meetings can be challenging as there are multiple areas of focus for the varied team members in the audience but Stan knocked it out of the park. Stan discussed the importance of standing out in a sea of sameness and his talk was not only relatable, but actionable. It's been over six weeks since our meeting and I continue hearing many of our team members using one of Stan's talking points when discussing their new idea.

Goldfish Tank exceeded my expectations. Our normally reserved team was fully engaged and the activities gave them a platform to work together in formulating ideas and sharing with the larger group.

Many thanks to you and Dave for showing our group how our weaknesses can be our strengths.
