A few client plaudits about my speaking abilities.

โThere is no such thing as a boring topic. There are only boring speakers.โ
Phil is an engaging speaker with the rare ability to make what may seem dry and complex topics both compelling and entertaining.

Phil has that rare skill as a speaker to distill the complex to more tactical and strategic thinking so his presentations arenโt only entertaining but are also operational. A rare gift for the modern business audience.
โLori H. Schwartz, Managing Partner, StoryTech
Engaging, knowledgeable, and likable. Phil left our professional audience armed with new knowledge and smiling.

When a speaker goes for 20 minutes and you wish theyโd go another two hours, youโve hit the jackpot for your event.
Phil brought a presentation to our SUBMERGE by Hubilo 2021 event that truly shined the spotlight on how we all as members of a virtual workforce can use the tools we are given to ensure inclusivity, empathy, and employee morale. Not only that, he brought receipts: data and stats that can convince leadership of the importance we should all place upon these matters of the workforce.

Phil Simonโs own desire to be open and connected with the audience strengthens his ability to come across as and be the most authentic speaker and storyteller. Phil is passionate about his message and has identified ways to connect a diverse and wide-range audience to one common topic.
โDanielle Gilbertson, Account Executive, Edelman Public Relations
Phil is an enthusiastic, engaging, and funny speaker. He talks about data like a critic about art. He compels you to think about and see the world in a brand new way. He was a pleasure to host and have on the Zappos campus. He didnโt even get mad when pelted with a water balloon.
โAmelia Pond, Zappos
When I go to a talk based on a book Iโve read, I have high expectations; the talk had better go beyond the book and into the realm of critical conversation. Phil nailed it this week. Super content, engagement with the specific audience, bravo!
โProfessor Terri L. Griffith, Ph.D. Chair, Management Department, Santa Clara University
Phil is able to convey a lot of well-organized information in a way that enlightens and entertains the audience, leaving them more informed and providing them with interesting ideas and perspectives to ponder further.
โAnne Milley, Sr. Director Analytics Strategy, JMP at SAS
