Thanks so much for providing us with such a variety of high quality speakers. We’ve taken the opportunity to schedule several lunch and learn programs. All very interesting. They (the speakers) arrive prompt and prepared, never a disappointment.
I have used FreeSpeakers.org several times for our Chicago-area Mensa group’s monthly gathering. Each may have been free, but each has been as professional as those we’ve hired who had a high fee. Every one of them has arrived on time, been fully prepared, given a fascinating presentation, and been very personable in chatting with interested people who stuck around after the “official” part of the night’s duties. They’re so good that it makes me feel guilty they are doing it for free!
FreeSpeakers.org has been a Godsend to our Rotary Club. We have been using the service for thirteen years and are extremely satisfied. The speakers are reliable and never fail to deliver as promised. We are so grateful to you for providing this free service.

“Technical skills get you in the room. Emotional intelligence determines what happens once you're there.” Most leadership talks tell executives to manage emotion. Yours can make a much more provocative argument: Emotion isn't interference with leadership. Emotion is information—and energy. The question is whether you suppress it, get run by it, or learn to use it. Your Emotional Leadership framework
