George Fraser Speaker Testimonials
I'm telling you - I was just blown away. I spoke at a conference this week in Washington, DC, and one of the keynote speakers was George Fraser. He was so very, very strong. His presentation was about the importance of relationship building and networking and while he was speaking I kept flashing back to NAA and the big keynote presenters that you get every year. He's of that caliber. Combine that with a fabulous message and a great speaking style - and voila! Magic!

There are few times in a man’s life that he will meet someone that makes a life-long impression upon him. Today was such a day for me. I tried not to sound star struck, but your message inspired me so, it challenged me and gave me a new resolve to do even more.

You touched everyone from those attending the conference to those working the luncheon. Thank you also for giving the six goals. Not only were we left with wonderful words and facts to inspire us, but you also gave us the ability to do something to change those facts and keep true the words.
