Aaron has been a spectacular speaker and motivator on my behalf for three different programs, each with their own unique audience and challenge. Whether my own Neuro-Therapy company, or a group of San Diego based CEOs, or even some of the most world-renowned neurosurgeons working in gene and cell therapy, it did not matter. The audience was listening, engaged, and left the program thinking ‘I can and will do better in many aspects of my life. The informal Q&A adds wonderfully to the program itself and should not be missed.

Planning for an event that is geared towards youth to talk about their mental health, finding a dynamic relevant speaker wasn’t easy. Until we found Johnny. Throughout the planning, Johnny was extremely professional and responsive, and he even jumped in to promote the event with us on a local podcast. Johnny’s talk was very well received and the youth who attended the BRAVE Summit learned about acceptance, and that it is ok to not be ok from Johnny. The excitement has not quelled and the youth are still talking about the talk that Johnny gave and how he inspired them to take control of their mental health and seek help when needed. I would absolutely recommend Johnny to speak to ANY group.

“We just had Coach Matt Doherty come in to speak at our yearly sales kick-off meeting, and not only was it a great presentation, and the content was spot on, but Coach Doherty took the time to learn about our organization and find out about our people. He really related to our team, and we got so much out of this visit and his time here. Our team is pumped up and ready to kick it into gear in 2022. So, I want to thank Coach Doherty for spending the time here. If there is anybody interested in having somebody come and really jazz up, connect with, and take a group to another level, I would highly recommend Coach Matt Doherty.”

Unparalleled Service…

We always enjoy working with WWSG, and we thank you and your team for your diligence, thoroughness, and professionalism. Planning is already underway for next year's event (no rest for the weary). We hope to have every opportunity to work with you again in the near future.

Everything was buttoned up, from the initial outreach to the event execution and post follow-up. I have a great team of representatives from WWSG to work with, first class experience.

The team at WWSG is certainly at the top of the scale. Building a long-term relationship with the client has really set WWSG apart and we clearly saw that with our partnership. WWSG found creative ways to build the partnership which results in a win-win for all.

They provide us well-prepared and informed speakers who understand our expectations and unique format. With WWSG, we know that the speaker fees are fair and trust that the event will be a success.

The WWSG team are super responsive and flexible. I will definitely work with them again to find speakers for my next event.

The consistent professionalism and quality for the way Worldwide Speakers Group handles events shows that they think of each detail and every contingency beforehand.
