"We truly enjoyed having Devon as the speaker for our event. His warmth and passion really engaged the audience members. Most importantly, he was able to tie his expertise (athletics and sportsmanship) to what's important to our audience. His "take-away" message was inspiring and made everyone feel good. As a bonus, he was very generous with his time after the event and stayed to autograph DVDs and spend time chatting with people." "Devon Harris spoke to our church prior to our participation in a medical/dental mission trip in rural south Jamaica. His personal story, combined with his energetic and engaging speaking style, greatly increased the focus and personal ownership of the work. I would recommend Devon as a speaker for any group in your church or congregation." "Devon exceeded all of our expectations. He had the audience in tears and laughter almost at the same time. His ability to compare his story with a pattern for conducting our lives was outstanding. He received one of the few standing ovations we have ever given a speaker." "I want to personally thank you for your polished and incredibly motivating presentation at our annual meeting. People were mesmerized by your stories and your flawless delivery. I was totally captivated by your ability to deliver a message that was so vivid I felt like I was living your life. The way that you wove our organization's mission and challenges into your presentation was uncanny and the large crowd that gathered for your autograph was an indication of the impact you had on our audience." "Thank you so much for making our meeting a memorable event. When Devon started to speak the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop! The audience was hanging on to every word he said. Everyone was so inspired and challenged by Devon?s story. When he finished his speech Devon remained at the podium and answered questions for another 30 minutes. By this time it was 11pm, but that didn?t deter the crowd from standing in line to get their pictures taken with him. In looking over our participant surveys, Devon?s presentation was consistently rated as the highlight of our meeting." "As a principal for an event-marketing agency hired to manage and host former Olympic athletes for one of the premier Olympic sponsors, I can report without reservation that everyone from the general public to the highest executives loved Devon. He was a hit!" "Mr. Harris delivered an exceptional speech to our group of approximately 200 employees which was both motivational and inspirational in nature. While his recent background is that of an athlete on the world stage, his speech transcended athletics and spoke to the broader issues of hard work and perseverance that make all things possible. The challenges of his early life gave great credibility to his messages. The feedback from the attendees was highly positive." "Devon Harris was a motivational dynamo! He researched our company and incorporated some of our acronyms and business practices into his keynote address. We found the story of his life moving and uplifting. His humor kept us laughing throughout his speech. Thanks Devon!" "We were so impressed with Devon?s ability to motivate our staff and incorporate our company goals within his inspiring presentation that we booked him to return the following year. Devon?s a gold medal winner in our books!" "Devon Harris had everyone on their feet. Our entire workforce gained from his experiences and insights. I received nothing but praise for booking Devon - from our company president to the folks in the mailroom. We look forward to working with him again." "Devon's program was one of the highest rated presentations from this year?s conference. Devon has an incredible story to tell and our attendees really enjoyed it. He was a pleasure to work with and spent a great deal of time after the event speaking to our customers and signing autographs. I would highly recommend him to speak before any crowd!" "Devon's inspirational story of personal triumph and testament on the values of leadership were a perfect fit for our organization. His professionalism, positive attitude and friendliness served us well." "We had the pleasure of working with Devon Harris as a guest speaker for our annual meeting of the top-50 executives in our company. Devon?s keynote address provided the ultimate emotional and motivational send-off for our team members. He did his homework on our company and made sure that through his speech, he connected with our people. Devon?s story about overcoming adversity and achieving the nearly impossible inspired all of us to dream big!" Thank you for your assistance in our Northern Field Test workshop held last week. Your guest appearance as motivational speaker was the highlight of the day, and more importantly, you came through on your promise. The delivery of your speech was excellent. Not only did you build bridges between our project and the problems we face. You did this by showing our team how you handled similar challenges and how determination and goal setting were very instrumental in the creation of success. Based on the conversations that I have overheard in the days following the workshop, your examples and success have indeed motivated our staff in our own drive for successful project implementation. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts and wish you all the best in your future career.
