We hired Bill to present to our Central IL Customer Service Association, October Keynote event, celebrating National Customer Service Week. As a board we are extremely particular when we choose our speakers as to give our members the best value for their dollars. Bill REALLY delivered! Our members were thanking us for bringing him in and had a fantastic time, while enjoying real, honest and workable takeaways they could implement the minute they walked out the door. Bill did more research on our organization, members and city than any other speaker we have had. This time and attention certainly showed in his interactive and engaging presentation. From the beginning to the end, our members were participating, laughing and learning. It was a FANTASTIC experience and we would recommend hiring Bill for your next event!

I am the Organizer of the Entrepreneurs International Network (“EIN”). On May 11, 2021 Mr. Bill Stainton spoke authentically, eloquently and enthusiastically to EIN’s members. The title of his presentation was “How to Turn Creativity into Money.” Bill totally engaged the audience with his stories and examples and the depth and breadth of his knowledge around all things related to innovation. He opened many eyes to the awesome potential of connecting dots to amplify our personal and professional lives. EIN’s members simply loved him. You will too.

I have hired guest speakers for many years for our organization! I was blown away by the way Bill connected instantly with our teams. His preparation and customization were tremendous. Over the course of just 15 minutes, I watched my team come up with dozens of good, actionable, innovative ideas to help us remain Game Changers in our industry for years to come! I highly recommend Bill to work with your team. He ranks in the top tier of speakers we have hired over the years and the feedback from the teams was fantastic!

Bill's keynote speech on Innovation was leaps and bounds ahead of all the other presenters. He was so good, the event peaked right off the bat and the remainder of the day was dull in comparison. His high-energy, engaging demeanor was well supported by his visual effects which are next level compared to the standard seen on Zoom. Bill took the time to customize his content to his audience, and he'd developed new methods of engagement and interaction with the audience, keeping people watching rather than checking email. Highly recommended!

Your absolutely unique combination of humor, insight, and experience was the perfect way to kick off our three-day event. People were referring back to your program throughout the entire conference! I saw lots of note-taking and heard lots of laughter. You delivered everything I could have asked for and more. And the standing ovation you received is a testament to how much the audience appreciated you!

What a huge success!! Many, many attendees (yes, LAWYERS) said it was the best, most productive, and most motivational firm meeting they had ever attended. TOP OF THE CHARTS!! Thank you Bill!!!!

Your presentation was stellar—not just because it was substantive and compelling in its appeal to intellect—but also because it was creative, fun, high energy, and tailored to our audience of elected and appointed county officials. You had the undivided attention of the audience from beginning to end, and feedback from our members was universally enthusiastic as evidenced by the rousing standing ovation they gave you!

You are the easiest speaker to work with that I've experienced in my 13 years of being a meeting planner. Both times I've hired you, you arrived early, did your sound check...and then helped us lug boxes around, set up centerpieces, distribute flyers, and then ask what else you could do to help. For a guy who's won 29 Emmy Awards, there is nothing prima donna-ish about you!

Your presentation was tailored to PERMA perfectly; I couldn't believe how personalized it was! I know that had a huge impact on our group and made them feel like the stars. We got a ton of positive feedback onsite and I know that more of it is coming via our survey. Really, seeing the whole group on their feet clapping at the end is survey enough for us; standing ovations are definitely reserved for remarkable presentations!

Having worked with you before, I knew I could count on you to deliver a great keynote program. But judging from the comments I received from our attendees, you surpassed even my high expectations! You really did your homework, dug deep, and got to know us! As one attendee said, "There were times when it felt like I was listening to an incredibly entertaining industry insider!"

Bill was educational, energetic, entertaining, and he got the audience excited. In addition, he provided some of the most creative presentations I have ever seen. He studied his audience prior to delivery, he used pop culture that was targeted to his audience, he was interactive throughout his presentation, and he provided knowledge that was interwoven with humor. In my role as the Senior Manager for a government agency for 26 years, I was responsible for providing education and training to thousands of bureaucrats, elected officials, and economic development practitioners—and Bill consistently scored the highest marks of any presenter.

We are all still talking about the perfect keynote you offered at my Decision Sciences Institute annual meeting. You took the near impossible task I gave you and parlayed it into the best program my group has seen. I knew this could be a hard crowd to please, but you had them at hello! It was a resounding success, as evidenced by the enthusiastic standing ovation at the conclusion!

Bill had our audience fully engaged, and howling with laughter throughout the presentation. The reviews from our event attendees overwhelmingly found his presentation to exceed their expectations, and offered exceptional take away lessons to apply to both their personal and professional life.

I hired Bill to MC and present at a very important client conference. He exceeded all of our expectations. He made our event world-class and furthered our relationships with our clients.

I have found Bill to be a remarkable presenter to work with. Not only is his presentation/performance engaging, but his pre- and post-presentation demeanor is absolutely top notch. He spends a great deal of time getting to know my organization so he can customize the presentation to make certain it is relatable to my audience. He has a lot of contact with me prior to the event, and he arrives early so there is no last-minute scrambling to set up. And here's the part that blew me away the first time I worked with him: after ensuring his own setup was complete, he came to where I was opening boxes and assembling centerpieces and said, "What can I do?" In summary, I give high praise to Bill Stainton as a presenter, a businessman, and for something that can seem in short supply today: being an all-around good guy!

It only took a minute before I could tell Bill had the audience hooked! He gave the audience energy, they laughed out loud, and they were engaged. Prior to the event Bill took the time to really understand what we were looking for and spent a lot of time preparing with our staff to ensure that his talk was not only inspirational but also on topic. He is a consummate professional, full of amazing energy, a great sense of humor, and is full of very relevant and inspirational stories to share. If leadership and innovation is your topic, Bill is your person!

Right from the gate, the amount of effort Bill put into his proposal for our convention was over the top and we knew this was someone that we wanted to work with; amazing from the start is an understatement! He did his homework by researching our association and industry and put together a stellar presentation that was custom made for us. It was obvious to everyone in the audience that he put the time into tailoring his material to our group and his message was awesome. He did a fantastic job keeping the audience engaged and eager for more. We could not be more pleased with Bill and hope to work with him in the future!

We just hired Bill to speak to 250 healthcare and business professionals, and to say that he knocked it out of the ballpark is a grave understatement! He received not one, but TWO standing ovations. Hire him. NOW!

Bill is the most energetic, dynamic speaker you will ever encounter. He was a hit at my event and hope to have opportunity to call on him again. Bill totally rocks!!

When you walked off the stage after your closing keynote for the Credit Union Association of the Dakotas Annual Summit, I said four words to you: "Out of the park!" That is truly what you delivered—an out-of-the-park presentation that was infectiously energetic, laugh-out-loud hilarious, and spot-on relevant to our audience of Credit Union Leaders!

Bill Stainton brings great energy and enthusiasm to the stage. His message is relevant and impactful, leaving a lasting impression on every attendee in the room. He carefully crafted his presentation to include industry-specific references to further engage our group. The bonus—he's hilarious!

Thank you for an AMAZING innovation presentation! I loved your slides, your energy, and your professionalism. And I especially like that you got our attendees to start innovating right then and there, during the program. They were totally engaged—and on a virtual event, no less! The fact that so many of them stayed on past the end time with questions and comments is a great indication of the value of your program!

Your presentation was amazing! I am so glad you were able to be our keynote speaker. You made it very interactive at a time when people are unenamored with our virtual tools, and it was so relevant. You even wove in a piece that related to the presentation the day before about a diverse workforce. Your style and substance were perfect!

I have hired guest speakers for many years for our organization! I was blown away by the way Bill connected instantly with our teams. His preparation and customization were tremendous. Over the course of just 15 minutes, I watched my team come up with dozens of good, actionable, innovative ideas to help us remain Game Changers in our industry for years to come! I highly recommend Bill to work with your team. He ranks in the top tier of speakers we have hired over the years and the feedback from the teams was fantastic!
