Reviews
high energy
- Stephanie houston
Although there was high energy, you could feel the reflection happening in real time. The empathy Oliver showed, along with the intensity of the storytelling and the connections people were making, I had never experienced before with a keynote.
Just Amazing!
- Ryan Bill
Oliver was just amazing, I told my coworkers that I'm going home to write down every dream I've ever thought about. I realized there is absolutely no reason I cannot accomplish them. Today, I got a new lease on life.
important speaker to listen to
- Allison Hayes
Oliver's keynote led me to understand how important mental wellness is for us. It's vital to seek as early as possible and heal as we go. Until we do that, all these strategies will not benefit us.
powerful keynote
- Jane Bonvillain
Ollie was one of the best—if not THE best speaker we've had address our group. From the time he joined us for the reception to some four hours later, he made everyone feel like they were long-time friends. A great storyteller and a very gracious man.
powerful keynote
- San Bernardino County Supt. of Schools
Oliver delivered a powerful keynote with three days’ notice and inspired educators to walk alongside students and believe in purpose over paycheck.
great speaker
- Scott Gerbert
Oliver reminded us it's not about the job or the money, its about what are you bring to the planet and what do you want to provide the world. He brought such power, passion and energy to the room. By the end I was worried no one was going to go to any of the other sessions we had planned for them because they were so moved by

excellent speaker
- Nora Zamora
This was the third time Oliver Keynoted for us and we actually booked him for another conference coming up because he's always surpassed our expectations. His message is so important because we are in a time where people not only need inspiration but examples. They need to see that resilience can come from within and we love Oliver's message, I truly believe more people need to hear it.
