Testimonials
“Of all the folks who’ve keynoted our conferences, Bill was the best at both inspiring and educating our audience…His delivery was flawless. He involved the audience in quizzes and clever ways to engage the delegates in the material. He created a sense of intimacy with us by sharing personal examples that touched our hearts and made us laugh out loud… It’s no wonder that there was a spontaneous standing ovation at the end.
I highly recommend Bill to anyone who is seeking an upbeat, knowledgeable, and customer-centric speaker who entertains, educates, and motivates audiences to take action. And not only that, he’s a genuinely nice guy and so easy to work with.”
“Bill is a master trainer who only hits home runs. I appreciate the way Bill takes time to tailor his presentations and connect so deeply with our audience. Bill is one of the very best keynote speakers in all 26 years of the Creative Training Techniques® Conference! Hire Bill to delight your audience and make you look good!”
“Not all consultants are flexible about the solutions they bring to you. We wanted a partner, not a vendor. Something transformative, not transactional. That’s what Giant Leap represented for us.”
“The messages in Courageous Leadership are delivered in clear, straightforward way and create a compelling reason for practicing courage. Our associates walked away with easy to implement strategies for demonstrating the three buckets of courage every day.”
“Bill did a great job of connecting with members of our organization and presented his program of Courageous Leadership in a creative and enjoyable manner.”
“I’m really happy that he came, I’m really happy that we chose him. We’ve been in this situation before where we’ve gone out on a limb to pick a motivational speaker and been disappointed. With Bill, I’ve never been more happy with my choice. I look forward to working with him again.”
“I can wholeheartedly say that it was a pleasure working with you and would recommend you to any organization based on my experience! You did a terrific job of providing a customized presentation that reinforced the goals and objectives of CSFB’s cross divisional mentoring program. We loved the jeopardy game of “Let’s Play, Guess the Mentor”. It was obvious that you conducted a considerable amount of research to identify who mentored many of these business luminaries, Warren Buffet, Dave Thomas, Douglas McGregor, among others. Also, I’m very grateful that you took time to get up to speed on the current approach to mentoring given that so much as changed in this space over the years.”
“Bill is a unique personality. One of those personalities who can light up a room and leave you with stories you’ll be telling for years to come.”
“In today’s business environment, any discussion about the development of leaders must also include consideration for an understanding of courage and the important role it plays. Bill’s Courageous Leadership workshop was a practical and very effective part of a 3- day Leadership Development curriculum. Bill worked closely with us to understand the context and objectives and tailored his workshop to meet our needs. Bill got high marks from the attendees and he left a lasting impression that will be with them for many years to come.”
“Today’s program was one of the best I’ve ever been to! I rode the elevator down with several others who, like me, agreed that the program was applicable and relevant not only to our jobs, but to our personal lives as well!”

perspectives we never would have thought of but turn out to help us immensely.” –

“I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to participate in the MCPON Leadership Mess Symposium. This year’s theme was, “Authentic, Competent, Courageous.” Bill, your presentation drove this theme home into the hearts of my mess.”
“We have received an overwhelmingly positive response to your talk in the Leading Edge’s post-workshop evaluations, with participants describing the content as particularly useful, insightful, and relatable.”
“I wanted to send along a formal thank you for your engagement with our conference… so – THANK YOU so incredibly much for speaking at the 2017 Michigan CUPA-HR Annual Conference – you session was excellent and very well received by all. We greatly appreciate your willingness to share your stories and experiences, and to spread such a positive and encouraging message. I am incredibly grateful to have met you in the process, and wish you the very best throughout the rest of 2017 and beyond.”
“We asked Bill to be our motivational speaker at our Global R&D meeting. He spoke on the last day of our conference and to everyone’s delight, Bill’s engaging style energized our attendees after a long week of meetings.”
“I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the entire New England Field Division’s management team to thank you for your poignant and insightful presentation at our management conference…Your workshop was truly inspirational…the lessons we all learned from you are now a permanent part of our lives. Your mix of humor with serious subject matter provided a motivational platform that our managers will be able to turn to when they are in doubt and change is needed. The Drug Enforcement Administration is truly grateful.
“BRAVO! An excellent job! Well paced! Informative! Clear! Well delivered! Worth everyone’s time and attention. I have heard many speakers on this topic and you are one of the BEST, and, with a great BIG HEART! Your personal stories and reflections were moving and informative and I/we could see the ‘gift’ with every travail and challenge you met, dealt with, and overcame.”
“Our Association loved Bill. His delivery style is thought-provoking and fun at the same time–he kept our attention and challenged us to move forward. Right Risk was the perfect message to kick off our year as a group. Bill’s message is especially important to women, I believe. We stay so involved taking care of everyone else that we lose ourselves, and our passions. Right Risk is perfect for anyone who wants to move to the next level in their lives…his message is powerful.”
“I have hired many keynote speakers for our Global Education Summits over the past 15 years, and Bill Treasurer is the best I have ever seen! Our international audience greatly enjoyed learning his Leadership Essential Truths, the blend of appropriate humor, and his genuine care for their leadership success. The standing ovation he received as our opening keynote, was well-deserved and earned. Comments posted on our Summit app were glowing – “Extremely engaging,” “Bill is so on-point.” “High-Five!” He was so popular he sold out of his books at the first break. Hire Bill as a keynote, and you will look like a hero to your participants. Listen to Bill’s message on Leadership Essential Truths, and you will feel like a hero!”
“It is clear from the insights you shared, both during the keynote and the small group conversation, that you possess a depth and breadth of knowledge about a subject of great importance to our organization. I especially appreciate that you offered several unique and practical ideas and tools that can be immediately implemented. Treating courage as a skill that can be developed is a powerful concept that enables people to be more courageous in the workplace, while fostering a climate of courage for others.”
“Many thanks for a great program! I look forward to working with you in the future. You really did an outstanding job – our clients were impressed and walked away with tangible ideas they can put into practice immediately. You have a great balance of informal style and subject matter expertise. I’m sure we’ll be talking soon.”
“We have had the privilege of working with Bill over the past several years; as a keynote speaker for our annual Management Conference which is attended by between 250 – 300 supervisors and managers from all areas of UM; as a workshop leader; and as a closing speaker (via a video feed). Our original intent was to hire Bill as a keynote speaker but he proved so popular and effective with managers that we brought him back for the workshops and webinar. We now look to see when Bill has a new book so we can bring him to UM to speak on his new material. I can’t speak highly enough of Bill.”
“Bill has an amazing ability to get hardcore business people to quickly open themselves up to his new and provocative ideas. Having worked with many speakers over the years, what is impressive about working with Bill is that he takes the time to understand our business goals and objectives and stitches those into his talk. Bill “gets” us and our business, and that makes all the difference.”
“Bill did an outstanding job of incorporating the items our partners are most cautious about as partners. The up-front preparation Bill completed through a survey was dead – on for inspiring us to be more courageous in selling, branding, and collaborating in building business opportunities. He dared us to be OK with becoming uncomfortable in order to Grow!”
“Bill, thanks for the terrific job you did during your recent talk. Everyone here was impressed with the time you took to understand our challenges, and how relevant you made the material to our workplace. The session was truly top-notch!”
“Bill’s content and delivery of a half-day Courageous Leadership workshop was perfect for our three-day intensive development for key internal change leaders. I was particularly impressed with the level of tailoring Bill did to make his workshop seamless with other presentations delivered by internal staff. He was thorough in understanding our needs and the context for the session. The content of Courageous Leadership is practical and Bill’s facilitation is highly engaging.”
“Bill Treasurer’s presentation at the LOMA Society of Atlanta’s 30th anniversary meeting last December was both entertaining and information. He shared useful guidelines to help our members evaluate risk in their own careers and personal lives in a lively manner that kept the entire group engaged. When I first saw Bill speak to the local Women in Insurance and Financial Services meeting, I immediately asked him to speak to the LOMA Society. His engaging manner and wealth of knowledge also made him one of our most popular speakers at The Freelance Forum, another organization where I serve on the board of directors.”
