Best virtual keynote I’ve ever watched! We hired Todd to speak to several hundred people who are part of our network of specialty furniture dealers and distributors. His take on authenticity and relationships at work was informative and moving. Quite simply, it was inspiration jumping off the screen. Amazing speaker.

It’s really hard to believe how good he is in a virtual format. Dr. Dewett was asked to speak to a large online group of our clients. It was mostly an executive audience. They expect value, and boy does Todd deliver. Leadership insights, practical advice, emotional stories that just grab you and shake you up. When you hire him, you’ll witness a masterclass in motivational speaking. Truly exceptional.
Soltis Investment Advisors Managing Partner
Our students, staff and alumni deserve a great experience and Dr. Dewett delivered. It is tricky for a presenter to engage an audience virtually and he achieved that with his raw, authentic and passionate experiences in his storytelling about leadership. Our virtual experience was engaging and can’t wait to have him on campus in person in the future.
Lakeland College Canada Manager, Community Development
Dr. Dewett delivered a hugely popular virtual talk as part of our day-long LEAD event. We are a large alumni group from an executive education program offered by the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. Our expectations are always high for speakers, and Todd knocked it out of the virtual park. I’ve never seen someone be so engaging with no slides at all. He is the world-class storyteller you want for your next event. Show Your Ink!
The Stanford LEAD Director
The consensus of the surveys can be summed up in two words: GREAT SPEAKER! All of the surveys were positive, not one negative comment. They all loved how relatable your stories were to our professional and personal life, loved how you kept their attention, and could have listened to you longer. I definitely agree with them and want to THANK YOU again for speaking at our event.

We hired Todd to speak to a large employee group, and he absolutely nailed it. His confidence and expertise are compelling, and his ability to show honest emotion and make you feel emotions is totally engaging. The audience was eating it up. He talked about leadership and relationships in a way that anyone can understand using stories that will be seared in our brains forever. He might be the best speaker I’ve ever seen.

Todd delivered a rousing keynote to me and my realtor colleagues at a leadership offsite. He had us from the word go. I thought we might enjoy a little education that day, but this was so much more. Practical perspectives you can use, stories to light a fire and help you remember what matters. Dr. Dewett truly makes you believe that you can become a better version of yourself – and help your team do it too. No wonder he received a standing ovation at the end of the speech. Hire him and you’ll understand. Wow!
Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Vice President, Broker, Sales Manager
I booked Dr. Dewett twice – once to keynote a large executive–level meeting and once for a large gathering of middle managers. He killed it both times – lots of learning, huge laughs, emotional and engaging. A world class speaker – highly recommended!

Dr. Dewett is one of the best speakers I’ve ever seen. I’ve hired him numerous times for different audiences and every single time he just knocks it out of the park. His energy, practical insights, and storytelling ability are easily among the best in the world. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to turn a meeting into a true event.
Citgo Corporate Training Manager
Dr. Dewett is in a class all alone. I have hired him to motivate and teach both sellers and sales leaders at my past two companies. Todd's delivery is engaging both as a featured sales summit speaker with hundreds of attendees and in classroom settings with small groups. He takes classic ideas and spins them to make them fun and emotionally relevant. His stories grab you, shake you up, and force you to rethink how you look at your team and yourself. This is the leadership speaker every sales organization needs. Truly unique.
Edmunds Sr. Director, Sales Effectiveness
The primary audience for our event was made up of independent sales executives, essentially small business owners. They don’t want to be simply entertained. They need real advice that will inspire them to take their results to the next level. We got both – super impressed! Dr. Dewett exceeded expectations. Useful, relevant, funny, moving, and most of all authentic. It’s more than a speech with this guy, it’s an experience. Strongly recommended.

Thank you for your fantastic inspirational talk! I'm getting a lot of positive feedback!

Macy's Director, Talent Assessment & Measurement
I’ve now seen Dr. Dewett speak twice, and he’s always amazing. Most recently, it was a leadership event for our division. This group is strong, motivated, and capable – but Todd did what he does and helped them take their thinking up another level. His approach to helping people think about leading others is fresh and unique. In moments, it’s just inspiring. After your event, you’ll want to keep him around. He’s so full of good advice it’s ridiculous!
Medtronic HR Director
We hired Todd to keynote our huge national business leaders conference in Ottawa. As a speaker we challenged him with a huge multilingual audience. He delivered with style. He made sure the messages aligned with the conference theme, used anecdotes and stories that spoke directly to our audience, and did all of it while stirring us emotionally. Top level speaker. Huge fun! I highly recommend Dr. Dewett.
