Scott Tillema was our featured speaker at Break The Mold Conference, 2023. The passion, energy and experience Scott brought to the stage was infectious. With ease, he was able to translate his work in hostage negotiation to concepts our audience could immediately put into practice to find success in their businesses. He was interactive and captured the attention of everyone in the room. Audience feedback was overwhelmingly positive and I’ve already re-booked Scott for our next corporate event!

Impactful with thought provoking content that is relatable and I am excited to take the content back to my team!

When we invited Scott Tillema to speak at our event, we were confident he would deliver a great session. Even with elevated expectations, Scott exceeded anything we could have expected. He was masterful, both in his content and delivery. He had the audience laughing right off the bat, while making local references, so clearly he had done his homework and was delivering a customized presentation for our conference, which everyone could appreciate. We are proud to highly recommend Scott Tillema as the keynote speaker to any CIT conference across America. For any event that touches on communication, conflict, negotiation or influence, and you want your keynote to be memorable, Scott is your speaker!

“Meaningful and Engaging. Scott had our audience’s attention within the first minute. The positive impact of his keynote was seen through the remainder of the conference as people referenced his key points during the breaks and evening events.”

We booked Scott to do a talk to my global network of recruitment entrepreneurs. I expected great stories which I got. What I hadn't quite anticipated was Scott's ability to translate his wealth of expertise, experience and insight into negotiation strategies into really practical, applicable and valuable models and approaches we can all use in business and in life. Articulate, passionate, funny - thank you Scott. Everybody should listen to you.

Absolutely amazing. So much of his talk spoke directly to me and my daily workload. Thank you!

I was able to book Scott Tillema to speak at a public safety event in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Scott captured the attention of a room filled with law enforcement, fire department, and energy dispatch personnel. Having worked in sales for decades, I know Scott’s life-saving processes that work under the gun also work in boardrooms, car lots and classrooms. Scott brings real world processes and techniques that produce results.

Scott Tillema is one of the absolute best speakers I have worked with in my many years of event planning for my organization! From the very first contact he was helpful and kind, always going above and beyond our expectations and just such a professional at what he does. He was wonderful to communicate with throughout the planning process, and always responsive to our needs and requests. Beyond all the event planning details, Scott Tillema’s virtual talk was engaging and interesting, delivering content that was helpful and immediately actionable for our staff. He has a way translating evidence-based concepts in communication and human connection into easily understandable and relatable tidbits of information. Scott Tillema was a pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend him and his content highly enough!
