Brett was fantastic. He received great feedback from all attendees. A number of attendees also commented on his presentation being the best they’d seen/heard. He was very gracious and obliging, and even made time to draft a thought-leader article for one of the attendees.
RBS

Thank you for making the trek to Jo’burg for our executives’ conference and for giving us such a thoughtful and thought-provoking presentation. You’re completely right about us – we face the same existential challenges as every other incumbent but we’re unusually well-prepared to take on the fin techs. We owe a significant part of that preparedness to having your voice in our ear!
CEO Standard Bank Group

“I had the privilege of working to book Brett to speak at the 2012 American Bankers Association Bank Marketing Conference. He was very engaging and really challenged the attendees to reevaluate what they know about banking and consumer behavior. He was the top ranked speaker over the course of the 3-day event and set the tone for an amazing conference!”
Mark Zmarzly, American Bankers Association

Thanks so much for taking time to engage with the CFSI Board of Directors yesterday. Your remarks were just the spark we needed to ignite a great conversation about our own future. I especially appreciated how you customized your remarks. Having watched many of your talks online, I know the common elements. But so few speakers and thinkers of your caliber take the time to personalize their “stump speech” to the audience in a meaningful way. You did just that, and it really made a difference.
