What Others Say About Thom McKinney

"Your keynote presentation to the Baton Rouge staff was outstanding. It is the first time that they gave a presenter a standing ovation, and they continue to talk about how you helped them feel good about their jobs and themselves."
James Barnes, Director, Customer Operations; Cox—Baton Rouge

"Thom has ‘been there, done that.’ And he’s done it well!  He is a seasoned successful executive with the enviable ability to communicate. I recommend Thom."
Ty Boyd, President ESI

As a facilitator…"his biggest asset is his ability to relax people, and then pull something out of everybody."
Gerald Johnson, Publisher Charlotte Post

"You have been our keynote speaker for our last two Area Manager’s conferences. Not only were your presentations timely and well prepared, but also I was truly impressed by your ability to motivate our area managers."
Stan Cooper, VP Network Cable Services, Inc.

"The response from the students has been rave reviews; I only wish we could have scheduled more time with you. The information you provided them on leadership development was very clear, precise, informative and student-friendly."
Lynn Dickerson, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Southern University

"Hearing Thom speak is always a treat. Unlike some presentations I’ve heard that are great while they are being given, but don’t leave lasting impression. Thom’s ‘conversation with you’, interwoven with real life stories make you, think, make you question, and make you reflect long after you’ve left the room. Now, that’s what I call impact!."
LaRita Barber, VP, Goodwill Industries

"The subject of ethics and trust in our community is a difficult one, but you were able to make both topics interesting and relevant. The class stayed engaged and challenged throughout the day."
Anne Udall, Executive Director, Lee Institute

"Thom is very good at what he does, even though he made us miss our tee time. He was very prepared and very competent communicator. The man knows his stuff! Great job and great insights as well – Best of the Best."
