How Their Lives, Jobs, Attitudes, Businesses, and Relationships Have Changed As a result of Dr. Alan Zimmerman’s programs
Highest Rated Speaker…
“Thank you for the truly outstanding seminar you presented to our membership. As usual, your message was relevant and extremely helpful to all those in attendance—many of whom hold key leadership positions within their own organizations. As you know, the New York membership can be a very tough audience. However, I am quite pleased to say that the scores for your presentation were the highest of all our speakers this year! That is no small accomplishment!”
Chairman, Institute for Management Studies
Among The Top 3 Speakers In 12-Year History …
“Your program was surely one of the most dynamic, useful, and beneficial presentations we have ever heard. In our 12 years of existence, we have had over 100 speakers, and you are among the three best, most valuable speakers we have ever heard. In the evaluation sheets, the members rated you straight 5’s, and some with a plus after the 5, on both Content and Presentation. They are seasoned veterans, and those scores are very rare. So it was a true compliment to you.”
Chair, Vistage
Powerful Presentation That Was Actually Spellbinding…

Brought Our Attendees To Life…
“Being on the program during the last part of a two-day retreat, speaking to a group of tired attendees, was a huge challenge. But you brought them to life! What we experienced was a group of very enthusiastic people who were attentive because you kept them involved with your highly interactive, excellent presentation. You covered the topic we wanted with enthusiasm, presenting specific ideas that were of value to our members. I will be contacting you soon to discuss other uses of your talent.”

Builders Association of the Twin Cities
Motivates Participants To Grow During And After The Program…
“A colleague and I had heard Dr. Zimmerman speak several years earlier and realized that we just had to bring Dr. Zimmerman to our association. Dr. Zimmerman is a truly gifted educator! His ability to keep people’s interest is phenomenal, but even more significant is how he motivates participants to grow during and following the training. His presentations offer that rare training that keeps staff begging for more. I encourage everyone to contract with Dr. Alan Zimmerman for an outstanding educational experience.”

Director, United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association
I Would HIGHLY Recommend You To Any Other Organization…

Keynote WOWED 600 People To Make Best Conference Ever…
“We can’t thank you enough for your wonderful program at the Southern New England Chapter of the Project Management Institute. You impressed the 40 people at the pre-conference workshop and then you WOWED the 600 attendees with your keynote address. I can’t tell you how many people told me this was our best PMI conference ever. We couldn’t have been more pleased … because you made it all happen. Don’t ever hesitate to ask for our recommendations to support a future engagement with another client.”
Project Manager, Project Management Institute

Program Rates An A+ …
“Your powerful message along with positive interaction, interpersonal examples and demonstrations left an everlasting impression on the 800 attendees. We received so many comments saying you were ‘the best keynote speaker in my ten years of attendance’ and ‘the most relevant information that I can use at home and work.’ However, you have left us with a dilemma. We are faced with the challenge of finding another presenter for future programs that can open our attendees’ minds in the manner you did. Without a doubt, your program rates an A+.”
Director, Associated General Contractors of Wisconsin
Even The Executives Were Enthralled With The Program…
“So many people thanked me for making the arrangements to have you speak to our association. It started on the very first break when some said they had already learned more than a full day at other sessions. It spoke volumes when three of our executives spent the entire day at the program. Typically they attend for a short while and don’t come back. In fact, we had more people still in attendance, and still coming into your session, than I ever witnessed—especially at 4:30 on a Friday—which is remarkable proof of the value people were getting.”
PTraining Specialist, AAA
Attendees Kept On Quoting You For Days…
“If you measure a presentation’s success by the number of attendees who spend the next few days quoting you or including some of your remarks in their conversations, then your presentation to our members was indeed a great success. Your comments were right on target for our members as well as for the organization’s leadership.”

100% Of The Attendees Want Another Zimmerman Program…

I look forward to seeing you next year.”

Deeply Touched Our Attendees…

Executive Director, Wisconsin Vocational Association
A Total Treat To Have You On The Program…

Made Us Laugh, Cry, And Even Gave Us Goosebumps…
“You did it again! You were dynamic at our meeting. You were back by popular demand and you outdid yourself. I have heard numerous speakers through the years all over the U.S. You are, by far, one of the best! You brought tears to our eyes, made us laugh, and gave us goose bumps – a definite success. And judging by the positive feedback of the 400 people attending, you struck something in everyone – a whopping success.”

Best Session In 18 Years Of Association Meetings…
“As people left your session, they were simply raving about it. One person planned to drop into your session for a few minutes and said he was so ‘captivated’ that he stayed the whole three hours. The written comments said: ‘Fabulous! A real motivator! The room was just energized with excitement!’ Several told me that yours was the best session of the whole convention, and, in fact, one said it was the best session he’d been to in the 18 years of attending the convention. We’ll definitely have you back.”
Executive Director,
Minnesota Newspaper Association
Outstanding Talk. Perfect Kick-Off For Conference…

Results? Grew Together As A Staff…
“Your presentation was positive, encouraging, and very practical. Your talks were down to earth, filled with great examples, and were humorous. Your willingness to share your own life made it possible for us to be more open with one another. Your activities got us involved and helped us to know one another better. We not only had fun, but we grew together as a staff. We were able to return to our jobs with more positive energy and enthusiasm.”

You Took The Time To Know The Issues In Our Field…
“Thanks to you, our participants brought home the ability to better manage their relationships with coworkers and patients alike. What impressed me the most was your ability to get to know the issues we face in our field. You took the time to ask probing questions regarding our day-to-day challenges as well as the values we believe in. Your sincere presentation made a lasting impact, and I observed a more caring, positive attitude from the participants throughout the rest of the conference, which I attribute directly to your enthusiastic and superb presentations.”
President, Iowa Optometric Assistants Association
Amazing Job Of Keeping 375 People Fully Engaged For 4 Hours…
“Thanks so much for your outstanding program. What an amazing job you did in keeping 375 folks fully engaged for four hours. As you know, we had to move the event from the original venue because of the incredible demand, despite the fact that you have appeared several times in Bloomington. That speaks volumes about the value you provide to folks. And we really liked the way you crafted your presentation to build on last year’s event with our chapter. It was impressive to hear you say “Last year, I mentioned…” Thanks again for a great event.”
Chapter President,
American Society of Training and Development
Consistent excellence…
“You made our Chapter’s 50th Anniversary Gala our best event ever! Your presentation was so very well received … partly because you tailored the program for us, guided us in our publicity efforts, and even gave a complimentary e-Book for all of our attendees. As is always your standard, your presentation was superb!”
Chairman, EWI Executive Women International
Never Had A Speaker Who Received More Attention And Enthusiasm…
