TestimonialsRobert Kriegel, Ph.D. Motivational SpeakerTestimonials - Here's what past clients have to say about using Robert Kriegel as a motivational speaker:Dr. Bob Kriegel nailed it! Bob’s mesmerizing ninety minutes of stories, examples and lessons were the highlight of our meeting. He was able to sew and weave the challenges of our industry, the anxiety of our people and the challenge of a new culture into a history lesson of companies who have succeeded in the face of change versus those who have failed. Bob exceeded all our expectations and I would recommend highly him.” Your motivational session was right on target and the feedback from our staff and our clients gave the clear message that you " hit it out of the park!. Thank you for your professionalism, the prep work that you did to make sure the content was relevant to a broad group of attendees, and for working so well with our entire event team. The session was both engaging and inspiring, and was a highlight of our conference. Thank you for your presentation at our Global Leadership Team meeting, which I know will have continued benefits in the months to come. Thank you for speaking at our recent Leadership Forum. The subject matter, “finding and eliminating Sacred Cows,” was at once classic and timely. Your engaging style captured the attention of a broad spectrum of leaders. Several activities at each of the Divisions and at Sector have resulted. Thank you for your relevant, inspiring and entertaining 90 minute presentation at our recent leadership summit. Your ability to tailor your presentation to our specific needs helped our audience connect how employee engagement has a direct and real impact on our business results. This really hit home with so many leaders. We would highly recommend you to any other company who wants to retain, motivate and renew their commitment to their employees after a tough couple of years of economic and organization change. Thanks again for your passion, energy and humor Kerri St. Jean Thanks again for bringing such energy and passion to your speech at our recent leadership conference. Challenging everything, from process to “Sacred Cows” is in complete lock step with our need as a company to re-invent ourselves if we have any chance to be the market leader in each of our businesses. You helped STOKE that fire. All the best for continued success. Kevin M. Casey Jenny and I want to thank you for your excellent keynote speech to our Steelcase Dealer Conference. I have since heard a number of very positive responses from attendees, (and we echo them!), including, “A very clear message on the need to lead change, vs. getting led by it, with clear and actionable steps.”, “Dr. Kriegel painted a vivid picture of the rapidly changing world and the need for us to drive the changes we need to continue our success.” and “Right on the money…we need to learn to step back and lead change, not get lost in the ‘craziness of the everyday’, thinking that because we’re busy, we’re getting work done.” Steven Eriksson, Channel Strategy Leadership I wanted to thank you again for your participation at our regional leadership meeting in Mexico City. You conveyed the energy we were looking for, providing an engaging and inspirational speech. Your message on the right attitudes and behaviors to enhance personal and organizational performance truly laid the groundwork and gave permission to the group to challenge conventional wisdom and to think outside the box to suggest new practices, structures, and approaches to ensure our continued success. Several times in breakout sessions in the following days I heard references to “fire hosing” and “sacred cows!” Thank you for delivering such an on-target presentation. Your energy and flexibility to modify your presentation messages to align with our conference theme was very valuable for our 600+ customers. Our post-conference customer survey indicated that the customers thought you were excellent. Again thank you for a job well done and making a difference. Please accept our sincere appreciation for the excellent contribution you made to the Robroy Industries 2010 strategy session. …your professionalism was extremely helpful in providing us a meaningful foundation for considering key issues impacting our organization. We were impressed by your advance work in hearing what we had to say, then dovetailing your presentation to underscore the key themes we sought to develop. All in attendance found you to be motivating, thought-provoking, energetic, and humorous.

Your energy and passion in delivering your message were fantastic, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The standing ovation you received from our delegates is indicative of a message well received. Edwin D. Hill Your session was not only dynamic and energy charged but also helped to clear a path for our team members in getting them to think about how they do/should respond to change, see it as an opportunity, as well as how to lead our organization in an ever-changing market place. Your energy and the way you were able to "personalize" your message so as to relate your message to our business was phenomenal! Your interaction with the audience was unparalleled to past speakers. Your energy was contagious and just what our team needed to energize itself. I want to thank you personally for the great keynote presentation that you gave to our Agricultural Products group.
