"As the keynote speaker, you surpassed our expectations. You inspired, enlightened, and challenged the audience with your stories on your life experiences. Your wisdom in regards to the "Keys to Quality Success" was inspirational. You captured the minds and hearts of the audience with stories regarding your family.

President & CEO

PDI Global, Inc.

"Pat, you delivered an amazing presentation! It was the BEST one I’ve seen in 28 years, and I’ve seen a lot of them! I felt bad for the speakers that had to follow you as they were all compared to you (and they didn’t have a chance). You left me with two great takeaways in terms of what I can be doing to become more knowledgeable as well as your incredible values and sense of giving back to life and helping people."

Communications Director

In the hours that followed his talk, many of the audience agreed that Pat had given the best talk on leadership and organizational excellence that they had ever heard. A week later, my colleagues and I are still having lengthy conversations about it. Pat is a true heavyweight and we were very fortunate that he agreed to come speak to our organization."
