Speaker testimonials
Recently, we were lucky enough to enjoy a key-note address delivered by JJ Brun. He addressed a group of about 100 folks, all with varied backgrounds and a wide spread of ages. Despite the differences in the audience, JJ delivered a presentation that applied to us all – decoding people we encounter day in and day out to better relate to and communicate with them. The presentation incorporated many personal stories from his time as a spy as well as lessons learned in his personal life, giving the talk added entertainment. All in all, it is difficult to find presenters who can bring entertainment to a presentation that can also be used for personal and professional development – but that is exactly what JJ offered us. Job well done!
JJ’s Keynote presentation for our non-profit society AGM was one of the most interesting and informative Keynote talks I’ve seen. Not only was he entertaining, but he provided a look into using the skills of a spy in everyday life and business. JJ is an inspiring speaker who spun a fun/exciting talk into something I now want to pursue to increase my day to day business success.
The session went well, and everyone was impressed with JJ’s presentation. JJ was both great as a presenter and went above and beyond in the lead up to the event. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
