"Our 1,200 attendees voted Alex the highest-rated speaker in the 40-year history of our event!"

Primrose Schools Annual Franchise Leadership Conference

“Alex received high ratings from over 400 leaders in our organization. Those present are requesting his return for other audiences. I have not had a speaker so well received in my 24 years of doing this work. Alex is an exceptional speaker and teacher. He makes learning easy using key points, clear examples and leaves the audience with practical tools for future use.”

Beth Alpers, Chief Human Resources Officer

University of Missouri Health Care

“Alex actually had our leaders on their feet by the end of his presentation! His examples really resonated with our executives and directors on how ditching the drama with team members could naturally open up opportunities for more collaboration, innovation and solutions-based problem-solving. Not only did he provide some eye-opening insights throughout the presentation, he was sure to leave our leaders with specific tools they could use the very NEXT DAY to start redirecting the time and energy lost to venting and drama with their staff and put it towards better results for our customers. His presentation was engaging and spot-on for today’s rapidly changing workplace."

Jocelyn Blandford, Director, Guest Experience & Operations

Carnival Cruise Line

“As someone with 17 years of experience in training and development that knows the challenge of keeping an online presentation engaging, I had operated by the learning and development gospel that you shouldn’t do a virtual session longer than 90 minutes and because of our time together. Alex had me questioning all that have believed about that belief. If you are looking for a captivating virtual experience that teaches, transforms and moves teams to action, I highly recommend gathering with Alex and your group on your favorite virtual platform of choice in the future.“

Kimberly Lieb, Training Manager

Johnson & Johnson

“Alex's keynote hit me with so many ‘ah-ha’ and 'why didn't I think of that?' moments that it seemed as though he was talking to me… not the other 270+ people in the room.”

CFO, Sunstates Security

"Alex is one of the best speakers I've ever worked with. He resonates with even the most difficult audiences because his content is REAL and REFRESHING. His energy is infectious andhe makes you want to be a better leader."

“Peyton Manning's keynote was cool, but the breakout with Alex (Breakout 1) was great. He is a very effective speaker!”
