Testimonials

Here's what event planners and audiences have to say about Brian's keynotes.

"Phenomenal speaker. Personable, informative and downright entertaining. I'd hire him back in a second."


NBC-Universal

"I'm so glad you were our keynote. You were the perfect choice."


Microsoft

"Your keynote-workshop was perfect. Our association members loved it. The way you get the audience talking helps some people accept new ideas faster. We're facing a lot of challenges. Other speakers just get up there and say 'you have to do this or that' and the audience is like, "Oh, yeah? Nu-uh!" Your approach is outstanding. More groups should experience it."


Stormont Vail Hospital System

"Outstanding presentation! Has our business owners thinking differently. Easy executable steps made everyone there comfortable and intrigued. A simple plan that can help any size business become a gorilla in their marketplace."

MD Revolution

"Brian recently spoke at our annual conference of industry leaders. In addition to his delivery and engaging style, the content he provided was invaluable to attendees and received high marks on our post conference survey. His preparation was amazing as he reached out to attendees prior to the event to ensure he knew the audience and delivered meaningful and actionable content. Additionally, Brian and his team were professional, timely and highly organized which can be rare. I would recommend Brian to anyone seeking a professional, entertaining, dedicated and highly engaged speaker."


International Housewares Association

"Brian has a masterful method of blending intel with practical, relevant business advice. He spoke to a diverse crowd ranging from Millennials to Baby Boomers. He left neither in the dark. Brian took the audience on a journey of discovery and enlightenment, while using stand-up style comedy in perfect alignment. Brian's business stories were profound and his entertainment provided the opportunity to absorb the strategic points before moving on. Brian Carter could command an audience talking business OR making people laugh. Fortunately for us, he did both."

Client

"Our meeting planner and President loved it. We had Brian present a challenging message to our audience about knowing and retaining their employees, and he got it across very effectively. His keynote framed our workshop the next day and go everyone got engaged. We were able to surface some real issues and create a clear plan to resolve them."


Client

"Wow, Brian. That was really, really, really, really good. I had no idea AI could do some of those things. You got our attendees engaged and some of them now say they're going to really look at AI in their business for the first time. Probably the most engaging workshop I've experienced. And by the way, you're not just funny, you were extremely quick improvising during the workshop. Thanks for everything, and guess what, we're having you back next year!"
