Thank you for your engaging and interactive presentation on the topic of digital transformation at our executive strategy retreat in the Cayman Islands.Your session allowed us to learn how technology has rapidly evolved across geographies and how it is changing our way of thinking. Moreover, we were able to recognize the impact of social media in house holds and companies. The various examples that you provided confirm the importance of leading digital change for the benefit of consumers in an increasingly complex world. We enjoyed your presentation which proved insightful, enriching, and highly participative. It sparked our curiosity to learn more and about digital marketing and the importance of creating business and professional networks in cyberspace. We look forward to having you again speak on such a vibrant topic which is transforming lives.

Thank you for everything you did for BGS at the Global Leadership Summit! I wish every speaker contributed as much–promotion video with over 4,000 views prior to the event working the room, the gym, the lobby, the dining area, etc and remembering everyone’s name; judging the case competition; and having a 5-star rating for your presentation. Your engagement was so valuable to our event and all of us at BGS appreciate it. You definitely practice what you preach, Sameer. Several of us were talking about your energy and enthusiasm, along with your warm personality. We decided we want to be like you when we grow up!

I really appreciated your presentation. You packed so many nuggets of knowledge into a some what brief session. It was more than I expected And, to be honest, I wasn’t going to attend until I saw it was you who would be presenting. I also liked how you emphasized the importance of authenticity, how bringing your unfiltered personality helps make relationships deeper more quickly, and after ward more resilient and longer lasting. The example of an open-ended question such as “So, what has brought joy into your life lately?” really resonated with me. I want to come up with a few variations of this to use with people I meet, and also as an alternative to the perfunctory “so how’re ya doing?” I really enjoyed hearing your story and feeling your enthusiasm. I know we will be benefiting from your gift for a long time to come.

Thank you for presenting at our 2018 Conference in Arizona this past October. While our leadership team at Mick Law enjoyed the most memorable presentation, the feedback we received from our clients was exceptional.The content was fresh, relevant and informative. Digital marketing and representing a company online is certainly a challenge for many. You were able to enhance the overall education mandate of the event by providing clarity on a difficult subject and actionable takeaways. I think it is also important to note that you were truly “present” for our entire event. Having attended and organized many national conference events, you put in an above and beyond effort to both meet as many attendees as possible prior to your session. You then made a point of being accessible and conversing with them throughout the rest of the conference.
