Curt, attendee feedback was terrific. Everyone really enjoyed your keynote on “Attracting the Profitable Customer”. You included lots of great tools, tips and ideas on increasing business opportunity.  Your dynamic program really exceeded our expectations!”

We recently had Curt deliver his keynote to our sales team. Curt was professional yet lighthearted and his keynote had a positive impact on our team. I would recommend having Curt come in and speak as his keynote is candid, engaging and extremely motivational!

Curt’s topic on Mastering the Marketplace was of great interest to our 200+ attendees. His keynote was thoughtful, appropriate and very relevant to our highly competitive environment. Curt kept us highly engaged and was clearly one of the best speakers we have ever hired. If you are looking for a funny, interesting and knowledge packed session then I would highly recommend Curt. Thank you Curt for contributing to our best conference ever!

You have our sincere gratitude for providing CHMSE with one of the best keynotes our group has ever attended… Your knowledge and expertise was reflected in the way you conducted the presentation and the audiences’ enthusiastic reaction…

One of the challenges our association often faces is many of our delegates often leave the keynote to do their own networking. This is seldom a reflection on the speaker but more of an indication of the importance our group places on talking amongst themselves. I was prepared for this to happen during your session but as you know, no one left! Curt you had everyone riveted to their seats, the feedback has been great and I have heard from all 220 delegates that you were the message we needed to hear! Thanks for the great work.

Curt Skene was the opening keynote speaker at the Canadian Institute of Management, Toronto Branch’s “Developing Professional Excellence” conference.
