HOAN'S OPENING KEYNOTE WAS THE #1-RATED SESSION AT OUR ANNUAL MORTGAGE CONVENTION, AND HIS SUPPORT WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND.

Not only did he create a pre-conference marketing video to build excitement and boost attendance—a first for us, and greatly appreciated—but Hoan also brought a fresh, engaging approach unlike anything we’ve seen before. I was so impressed by his message and professionalism that I've already recommended him to our company for future engagement.

HOAN WAS THE MOST WELL PREPARED KEYNOTE SPEAKER WE HAVE EVER HAD.

This was the common feedback I received from attendees after Hoan's opening keynote at our HFMA Revenue Cycle Conference. Our members were extremely impressed with the effort Hoan put forth to understand our industry and the challenges that they experience day to day. I appreciate Hoan tailoring his message for our conference. His message resonated with our members in a meaningful way.

I'VE WORKED WITH MANY SPEAKERS, AND HOAN GOES FAR ABOVE ANYONE THAT I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH.

Our HR Professionals loved having Hoan as the closing keynote speaker for our ASPAA Fall Conference. He engaged and invigorated our attendees. When I was outside of the main room tending to other aspects of our conference, I could feel the energy bursting out of the doors. What I appreciate most about working with Hoan is the full service he provides from beginning to end. His unique process in preparing for our conference made us think about our purpose and supported us in creating a memorable event.

HOAN PROVIDED ACTIONABLE ADVICE IN A RELATABLE WAY WE WERE NOT USED TO HEARING WHILE HELPING US STEP OUT OF OUR COMFORT ZONES.

As the opening keynote speaker for our annual lending conference, Hoan exceeded my expectations! People came up to me and shared that Hoan was the best opening that our association has had. I appreciated how Hoan personalized his message by including our input along with encouraging our members, in a very natural way, the importance of being involved and making real connections.
