“After a two-year hiatus at our most important event of the year, we knew that we needed someone that would take the time to understand our goals, keep our attendees engage and excited, and send them off inspired. I had used Chip before and knew he would deliver. He took the time to learn about our industry, provide us with lead-up materials, and keep our excellent post event videos. He surpassed our goals and “bookended” our event with amazing opening and closing sessions. He left our attendees wanting more, inspired to break through any barrier in front of them in the year ahead!”

“We brought Chip in to inspire staff at every level to own their own career. We had secretaries and vice presidents in the audience of 376, new employees and those ready to retire, and everyone in between. It was NOT a speech. Chip's presentation style and interactive handouts engaged even the most reluctant attendees! He provided simple and straightforward advice for how to gain control over your own life, health and happiness. It wasn't only theory but real life examples with which we could relate. It was very clear that we have to own our own attitude before trying to impact our career. He was motivating and inspiring without being sappy. We all left with a determination to actually do something and put his follow-up plan into action!”

Our audience has a wide range of attendees from mortgage originators (sales), their leaders and corporate executives. Chip’s preparation leading up to the conference significantly increased his impact as his content was engaging, entertaining, filled with energy and relevant to our audience. The closing Board Break Experience was a great way to send people back into their markets energized and fired up. The picture says it all. When Chip got off stage the AV producer told Chip, ‘You blew last years speaker off the stage.’ We had to agree.”

“My experience was wonderful! I especially appreciated the time you took to prepare for the event and that you reached out to some of our Sales Team to strengthen the conversation. They said you felt more "real" and "genuine" than past speakers and were very good at getting the entire crowd engaged. We continue to refer back to "A streaks starts with one." Also "anything worth doing is worth doing poorly." They specifically resonate with our weekly sales role play practice. The videos on-line were a good representation to what we would get. It's hard to pick someone you've never met, and have them impact your entire sales organization. Your videos gave me great insight into who you are as a presenter and I felt like I got what I signed up for. Out of everything, this really defines a good experience to me. Thank you again for your time, energy, and commitment to be exceptional at what you do. You're a true professional.”

"Chip ‘lit up the room’ as the closer to our annual national sales meeting. He had a group of very seasoned sales representatives highly engaged and enthusiastic. His homework was obvious! Chip's message of holding ones self accountable to great results versus just good, and remembering that those things that are simple to do, are just as simple to not do, resonated with our sales team. I continue to hear Chip's comments creeping into our sales teams vocabulary, which clearly indicates a sticky presentation. We have had some very ‘good speakers’ in the past. Experiencing Chip showed us how wide the gap is to a truly GREAT speaker like him!”

You hit all the essential messages and addressed them in the manner that resonated with the team. The team responded in the way that they did because they believed you were well informed of our issues – they perceived you as being one of us, not a person from the outside hired to speak at us.

“You will never work with a speaker who can intertwine your business within their presentation the way Chip does. Most speakers are a “rental”, Chip was a partner! He opened with “Get Switched On” which motivated our entire franchise system, gave them tactical advice and got them pumped up for the conference. He also closed the conference and tied everything together with the Board Break Experience! They left the conference saying they needed this and are “switched on” again and excited to go home and take everything they learned and put it into practice. If you want a speaker who will pump up your team, and educate them about taking responsibility for their success, then I highly recommend Chip Eichelberger.”

"For our Sales Training session for our Sales Team and Dealer Network, we asked Chip to close our session on a high note, but yet deliver some very practical tips for improving their performance in and outside the work environment. Not only did he accomplish this goal, but he connected like no other guest speaker we worked with in the past. He literally “hit it out of the park”! Our participants left energized, invigorated, smarter and ready to tackle the world! His message resonated on personal and business fronts, and he truly made some life changing impressions on the audience. If you want to get your team to OWN IT, Chip delivers like no other. You won’t be disappointed, he delivers like few in the industry can accomplish."

Director of Sales
Carrier Transicold
"Thank you for 3 great performances. We have not had outside speakers for a number of years due to disappointing and lackluster performances that just did not connect with nor energize our people. I must say you won over the most jaded nay-sayers amongst us and hit the ball out of the park, bases loaded, every time! You were a pleasure to work with on all levels and we would all agree that you were the best guest speaker we have ever had. Thanks again for helping us to "Own It!" and for getting us all "Switched On" to achieving greater levels of personal and professional performance."

National Training Director

"We invited Chip to speak to ALL of our employees at our annual Neighbors Day. Wow! He was great and our employees loved him! Chip is the best I have seen and a true professional! He was incredibly easy to work with, the information and tools on his website made planning the event very easy and he delivered what he promised. He customized his presentation to our group focusing on the standard of service we call “The Neighbors Way”. The energy in the room at the end of the day was something we as an organization have never experienced before. The board breaking experience was incredibly powerful and our employees have repeatedly said that this event was our best ever. Thank you for an amazing day! I will not keep you a secret!"
Leah Tate ,CCUE
Vice President, Training

"Chip took the time to understand exactly what we do, and how we can continue to grow and reach our goals. He taught us that success within a business, first starts with success within ourselves. Paying attention to our overall well-being will play a significant role in having a positive outlook and attitude not just personally, but also in the work place. His optimism, high energy & encouragement will be sure to leave a lasting impression on our team members. The Board Break Experience finale was phenomenal!"
Mitul Patel
Chief Operating Officer

"Thank you for making our meeting a huge success. You kept the group involved, maintained high energy, tied your presentation to our theme with your opening session. It was amazing to watch as you drove our team to the board breaking crescendo. You showed our people they can break barriers and do something previously thought to be next to impossible. You gave us actionable ideas to help take our performance from good to great on every shift! We are so glad we booked you the meeting with our GM's too."
Howard Nelson
Vice President of Operations

"Chip was fantastic to work with. We interviewed him on the phone to be the keynote speaker at our annual event. When we saw the interactivity of the presentation on his video, we were sold. Chip tailored the program to our audience of over 500, kept them involved and listening for what he had to say and left them feeling energized and motivated. Thanks, Chip, for a job well done!!" Here are a couple audience comments: The keynote speaker was amazing and really has me motivated for positive change in my life. He opened my mind to other possibilities beyond what I am used to. Chip Eichelberger was great! Full of energy and information. Reality check for all.
Nancy Shepherd
Four Corners Business Conference
Program Chairman
"We had never had an outside thought leader like Chip to kick off an ADEA meeting and we are so glad we did. This was a high level group of leaders from all the dental schools in the US and Canada. He created amazing energy and interaction with the attendees. He got them involved and it was obvious he did his homework. The impact of his message was right on the mark with our Brave New World theme. If you are looking for a speaker to kick off your meeting, and get the attendees Switched On for the entire event, we highly recommend Chip Eichelberger."
Darryn Weinstein
American Dental Education Association
Program Co-Chair/ Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine
"We needed someone to connect with our leadership team and give them specific tools and the mindset to become a better leaders. The interactive worksheet we completed was an effective way to focus and integrate the material. The team is now focused on bringing energy to the office every day and getting switched on. He reminded us to take care of yourself first to become a more effective leader for others. One of the best take away ideas was a bonus - we needed to make a commitment to consistently thank our current customers for their referrals in a unique way. You can't go wrong with Chip!"
John Peterson, COO
PS Business Parks
"We hired Chip for our National Sales Meeting to get our team focused and committed to have a GREAT year. Our industry is very competitive and our sale professionals must be even better prepared to tell our unique story in the market place. Chip's energy was contagious and he effectively challenged our seasoned vets to get back to the basics and take their game to the next level. In addition to challenging us professionally he challenged us personally and I have no doubt he inspired many of us to make changes that will positively impact the rest of our lives."
Chris Knapp

Field Support Manager
"While some speakers simply 'pay lip service' to their audience, you obviously knew our industry and took the time to research further, speak to our members and incorporate your findings into the talk. I heard a lot of positive remarks about your keynote in Quebec City and it jump started the conference nicely. Good luck with your golf game!"
Jeff Calderwood
National Golf Course Owners Association of Canada
CEO
"Thank you, Chip, for an inspirational and motivational session with our key leaders. The preparation you put into tailoring your messages for our audience created a great rapport and sense of applicability. Your high energy, hands on engagement style worked particularly well for our global, diverse audience. Above all, your holistic approach to human development and engagement resonated with EVERYONE - people were thrilled that we chose to invest in their development and capabilities versus hearing some sort of speech about how they simply must do better. Not only did your messages live through the week, but many of us are still comparing our personal changes and improvements as a result of your session (myself included!) Thank you!"
George J. Biltz
Global Vice President, Purchasing
The Dow Chemical Company
"I feel like the value we received was more than expected. It was analogous to putting money in a vending machine and getting two items for the price of one. You were definitively the highlight at our meeting and I appreciate the time you spent customizing your message to our business. Your insights are right on track and you delivered them with great passion, enthusiasm and humor. Energy like yours is contagious and I can tell you our group left this conference refreshed, committed to improvement and... YES! We Got Switched On!"
Dean M. Piacente
Vice President

"There is a reason we have had you speak fourteen times at sales rallies across Canada and be the closing speaker at two national conventions. You do your homework to provide content our agents need to hear, while combining great energy and humor with a sincere delivery that captivate the audience. I strongly recommend you to any company wanting to take their meeting from good to great!"
Don Lawby

"We had Chip Eichelberger speak at our Global Sales Meeting in Chattanooga, TN and he was the highlight of our meeting. The research he completed prior to presenting to understand his audience was a first for me.

I would highly recommend Chip for any function where energy and excitement is the key."

"Chip was a featured speaker at our organization’s North America Leadership Institute Meeting. To say that he energized our attendees is an understatement. Chip provided a thought-provoking, motivational message that provided the best possible start to the day for attendees, and he was easily one the high point of the event for many. Having worked with many speakers throughout the world, I was greatly impressed by Chip’s professionalism and ability to tailor his message to our audience’s expectations. It is always gratifying to see months of planning play out successfully as an event unfolds, and Chip played a significant role in translating our plans into success."

"I was extremely impressed by the amount of time you spent researching us and understanding our culture and what we wanted our initiatives to be coming out of the event. Within three minutes your knowledge and passion for our organization came through and excited and energized our team. Getting Switched On for me was truly about Logan's taking what they learned back to their restaurants and living that with the teams. It was our best conference ever!"

"Outstanding! Chip's presentation was inspiring. In addition, his auto industry background allowed him to relate to our audience. He actively engaged them in improving their dealership's sales as well as themselves. It was a great way to kick off the New York Auto Show for our leaders."

"Chip NAILED IT! The message and energy was spot on. He took the time to learn our company and culture. His speech flew by and the franchisee's absolutely loved it. Chip is highly recommended and will be returning to 9Round next year for the Board Break Experience."

"Chip you did a phenomenal job! We've been arranging these seminars since 2001 and this is the first time we filled every seat in the house and had to add a few more! Our attendees raved about you all week throughout the remainder of the seminar. To start off the first conference of 2012, we had Chip come in, re-charge our Directors, Managers and staff, and reinvent them once again as CSRMA's progressive leaders in this somewhat dull environment of regulation. Chip's energy and honesty about leadership applies easily to both personal and work life. Lead yourself and you can better lead others."
Kay and David Patzer
California Association of Sanitation Agencies
Executive Directors
"Chip Eichelberger delivers a profound life altering message that can reach any audience regardless of their openness or sophistication. Chip will REACH your attendees. He doesn't miss a thing! I wish you could have heard how many times throughout the rest of the week that people told me how much they liked you; how they could listen to you over and over again; and how many of them remembered your name!! You were the HIT of both conferences this year. Chip will exceed your expectations!"
Cynthia Mills
President
Tree Care Industry Association
"Chip - in a nutshell you captured the vision - the essence of the message we so strongly wanted our associates to get. I believe your connection to our training process and core culture prior to your presentations was the key reason why the connection was so strong. You did a fantastic job of closing our 6 Service Summits around the country."
Paul Daly

"Chip not only kicked off our National User Conference the very way we envisioned it, tons of energy and excitement, but he made me want to be a better person in the process. Not only in my professional life but as a woman, a mother and in general a role model. His enthusiasm is contagious and I am better for having been in his audience."
Mindy Payne

"You were absolutely the positive highlight of the day! (shocking that it wasn't that financial update). People really got "it", were "switched on" by your energy and tactics and saw how it translated into their day to day life. Mission accomplished! You made me look good for finding you!"
