Best Emcee we’ve ever had!

Hiring Dr. Dennis Cummins as the Emcee for our recent event was one of the best decisions we made. His performance was nothing short of exceptional, and he played a pivotal role in making the event a resounding success.
What impressed me the most was Dr. Cummins' preparation and dedication to understanding the event's objectives. He took the time to familiarize himself with our organization and its mission, which was reflected in his heartfelt delivery and resonated with the audience.
His seamless transitions, witty anecdotes, and great stories kept the audience captivated and were nothing short of masterful.
His commanding presence and ability to connect with the audience were evident as he effortlessly guided the proceedings, ensuring a smooth and engaging experience for our guests.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Dennis Cummins as an Emcee for any event.

Excellent!

Dennis' business motivational speech was a hit with the sales staff! His engaging presentation skills enabled him to connect with the group on both a personal and professional level. I have been organizing sales meetings for this group for 5 years and this was the best feedback that I have received to date. I want to thank him for helping to make the event a success!

Highly motivating, perfect for our corporate retreat!

Dennis was excellent! We had our first-ever company retreat in New York, and Dennis presented one of the most memorial and motivating presentations that I have seen in a while. He understood our business goals and applied our challenges directly to his presentation, which left our entire team feeling motivated and inspired for the year ahead! I would highly recommend Dennis for small or large corporate groups of any size across any industry vertical and plan to book again!

He blew our team away!

This is the 3rd time we’ve hired Dr. Cummins to our company. He continues to deliver as always. Smart, funny and totally engaging, and packed full of usable tips we could use immediately.

This year’s talk, “Becoming Unforgettable - Articulating Your Vision and Your Value to Your Customers” blew our team away!

The thing I like most about Dennis is the way he uses humor to include the whole room in the presentation. Dennis continues to be one of the highest rated speakers we have ever had.

Thanks Dennis! See you next year!

Bicom Systems - 15th Anniversary Event

Dennis is fun but takes this seriously. He arrives as promised 3 hours early. He got a flavor of the situation and politely proposed to completely change what we asked for.
It worked. The messages are still shaking around in my head and doubtless in the heads of all our partners.
Certainly will consider again.

Outstanding Speaker with Passion

Dennis was able to take a room full of attorneys used to quoting the law to bored jurors, and transform them into articulate, confident, and passionate speakers! The transformation over three days was nothing short of miraculous. He is an engaging, witty, and professional speaker who not only created true chsnge but kept the participants enthralled throughout long days. I highly reccomend Dennis as both a speaker trainer and also as an entertaining keynote with a powerful message. Thank you Dennis!

OUTSTANDING HANDS ON LEADERSHIP SPEAKER

Hired Dr. Cummins to give a workshop on leadership to a team of a hotel management company in Costa Rica. The workshop lasted a day, in which he delivered great content through hands-on activities. The participants left the event pumped! Activites were challenging and entertaining. It was amazing how the participants started their day in a passive mood and left wanting to apply their new tools and wanting to pursue their new goals.

Engaging and Experienced: Dennis is a Rare Talent

Having been in the personal development industry for nearly 15 years, I've had the good fortune of working with some of the world's most elite and sought after speakers, authors and trainers.

Dr. Dennis Cummins ranks amongst the best and brightest.

On stage his quick wit, emotional intelligence and remarkable ability to retain and artfully explain complex topics allowed him to masterfully capture and hold the attention of our audience.

His talk titled, "Changing Your Beliefs" was jam packed with interesting stories, powerful strategies and actionable steps our participants could put into immediate practice.

Off stage he was the consummate professional demonstrating a level of preparation and responsibility for his duties that is rare amongst speakers today.

If your organization or event is in need of a powerhouse speaker with heart, I strongly recommend Dr. Dennis Cummins.

A Refreshing Take on Moving Forward in Life

I really enjoyed Dennis' book. Having known the Cummins family for many years now it is refreshing to know the author and his family and to somewhat understand the struggles and triumphs they faced. I highly recommend this book to anyone that just wants more from life and to live it fully.

Outstanding Speaker/Makes a Difference

Dennis Cummins is an outstanding speaker. I have worked with over 400 speakers and I would hire Dennis again and again. He has content that makes a difference in people's lives and he cares about the audience - he wants them to walk away with value and actionable items they can use every day. He is a professional and wonderful to work with - he is always ready to serve the customer.

Fabulous Speaker - Our Audiences LOVE Him

Dennis has that rare ability to connect to an audience and draw them in immediately. His stage presence is phenomenal - people stay in their seats, wanting to listen. And, even when they have seen him at a previous event, they want to see him again and again. He is so authentic and warm and funny...that the audience forgets that they are actually learning complex financial skills.

As a promoter, I also greatly appreciate the fact that Dennis is prepared ahead of time. He always asks detailed questions before the event and arrives ready to go. He is always reliable and able to adapt to changes quickly. We all know that there are always changes during an event.

What to Expect

RAVE REVIEWS FOR YOUR EVENT:
I will work with you to make sure that all your goals are achieved and that all your attendees walk away excited, energized, and with action steps they can take when they get back to the office.

AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT:
I will use interactive storytelling and audience involvement strategies to keep them fully engaged.

FUN:
One of the best ways to get people to actively participate in a learning experience is to make it FUN. I use storytelling and humor as a way, as one of my clients once said, to get the audience “to forget that they are actually learning”.

EASY TO WORK WITH:
I will make myself available to you and your entire event time in order to coordinate any pre event logistics as seamlessly as possible.

PRERPAREDNESS:
Prior to the your event, I will schedule a call with your event team to clarify all of your needs and desires and to make sure we are all clear on the outcomes you desires for your attendees and your event.

PROFESSIONALISM:
While I do like to have fun (and I will be joking around with your audience) you can count on me to be a consummate professional before, during and after your event.
