Meeting Planners AND Delegates Are Raving!
“JJ was awesome! It was a real eye-opener when he read the room. We have received great feedback from the delegates.”
A. Jeffs, Events Organizer
Association of Municipal Administrators in Nova Scotia (AMANS)
“JJ did an excellent job for us. I was very pleased by the feedback from so many of our attendees who said that he “really” got it and were looking forward to using some of the techniques when they get back to their offices. It was confirmation that there were some real take-aways in that presentation.”
“Recently, we were lucky enough to enjoy a keynote address delivered by JJ Brun. The presentation incorporated many personal stories from his time as a spy as well as lessons learned in his personal life, giving the talk added entertainment. All in all, it is difficult to find presenters who can bring entertainment to a presentation that can also be used for personal and professional development – but that is exactly what JJ offered us. Job well done!”
“All the feedback was very enthusiastic concerning the novelty of JJ’s topic and how he made it so relevant to our diverse audience. But almost more important, was our using “The Retired Spy” on our teasers. This was a real attention-getter and a draw for registrations.”
“Our HR leadership day was highlighted by your opening speech about the People Puzzle. You brought a new and refreshing perspective on how we communicate with our people to get “buy-in”. I know that you impacted many in the room because your ideas were referred to several times at other sessions.”
“The session went well, and everyone was impressed with JJ's presentation. JJ was both great as a presenter and went above and beyond in the lead up to the event. I could not have asked for anything more.”
Invite JJ to speak on…
JJ’s lively interactive sessions challenge people to examine how they think, feel, and act. Instead of merely coexisting at work, JJ encourages us to celebrate our differences and utilize our diversity for enhanced interpersonal skills and workplace partnerships.
