"You can tell you’ve made a great choice for closing keynote speaker when, after a long day of meetings and presentations, no one leaves the room as the final presenter is speaking. Such was the case the day we had Tommy speak to our group of almost three hundred sales people! I know I’ve personally been impacted by Tommy’s message as were those in the room. It’s something I will carry with me and implement for life."
