Professional and Inspirational Speaker

Brendan was very engaging. He has a very dynamic and entertaining way of interacting with the audience, while teaching us the importance of good, productive communication. Excellent speaker, refreshing, personable and funny. The group would have benefited more by providing tips or strategies on communication and collaboration,, building trust, however, very enjoyable event.

captivating, motivating, engaging

Mr. Cunningham was the perfect jumpstart to the US Foods Training Sessions at SUNY at Geneseo. He put an entirely different spin on things we take for granted. Using real life examples he managed to slaughter a "number of sacred cows" that we all just take for granted. He was funny and incisive -just what the doctor ordered and really kick started the day's events. Everyone in the audience really seemed pumped at the end of the session.

Great Job & On Short Notice

Brendan came through with a fun, entertaining and motivational presentation on short notice. He mixed with the crowd ahead of time (inside and field workers). He customized his presentation for us. Brendan held the audience with laughter and challenged us to have the attitude that leads to success at our safety awards luncheon.
Well done and thanks.

Attitude is a critical characteristic of success

I'm Michael Boron, an Adjunct Instructor at Bryant & Stratton College, in addition to my "day job". I have known Brendan for over 20 years and have asked him several times to be a guest speaker in my Financial Analysis accounting class.

Without exception, the students were "wowed" by the content and delivery of his presentation. Brendan's ability to grab and hold an audience is without peer. As long as hes is doing speaking engagements, I will continue to invite him in, and would encourage you to do the same !

What to expect

more than inspiration or motivation..expect change. My presentations are on based on getting people to take action. My special "Educainment" format is designed to be interactive, informative and fun. A definite crowd pleaser who crosses generational lines and reaches everyone.
