DR. GARY SCHWANTZ
TESTIMONIALS
“ When we were putting together the agenda and speaker for our Monroe Wheelchair sales meeting we realized it was a bit unconventional to devote 90% of the meeting to an inspirational speaker. At the risk of losing an opportunity to talk about sales and operations to our sales staff, we decided to put a real life spin on our meeting. We have heard you speak before and trusted you to uplift, motivate, and move us. We were hopeful that those emotions would spill over to the way staff views and performs their jobs. To say that your “Savoring Life” presentation was successful in accomplishing our goals would be an understatement. Many members of our staff were moved to tears (myself included) and most said that the day made them change the way they look at their entire life. It is hard to put into words how good it feels to know that you were able to have this kind of immediate impact on the lives of our staff. You have a wonderful gift to be able to help people look at everyday life in such a positive and uplifting way. Thank you for having that impact on my staff and keep up the amazing work!”

I want to take this opportunity to let you know how very well your series on “Leadership” was received by those in attendance. All of the feedback we received spoke to the importance of the subject, the manner of your presentation and its great value. In addition, throughout the series of six eConferences, the number of registrants and attendees continually increased as word of your program spread. I have seldom seen this kind of response in the seven years I have been conducting these monthly conferences.
Your wisdom, wit and teaching ability shines through even the difficult medium of the eConference.”

As I’m sure you know trying to plan a program to meet the diverse needs of over 150 attendees, representing more than 30 states is tough. l I want to tell you I am at a loss. A loss to describe how much your presentation touched so many of the attendees. I knew you were good, I never dreamed you were THAT GOOD! Your presentation was so absolutely wonderful, and the best choice ever for a closing (I don’t know that many understand how difficult it is to close three days of discussion and seminars- people are tired - want to go home - the fact that our participants gave your presentation the highest marks tells me even more about your ability to inspire and challenge).
I want to reserve you NOW, for next year. I’m confident that as the word spreads of your speaking and motivational talent it will be tough to get you. Reserve a place for us, at the next National Meeting for the Respiratory Network!”

We just finished our third year in a row with you as our featured speaker for our annual sales meeting and each time my folks love you more - you are literally one of them. Here’s what amazed me this time. Here’s what amazed ms this time. Your presentation on communication was excellent, each meeting specifically the needs of our ATS staff, our managers, administrative staff and our sales assistants. I heard wonderful comments from everyone.
No matter the presentations we’ve asked of you over the past 3 years, you always do a wonderful job. Your warmth and genuineness mean a great deal to our folks and your ability to share your experiences honestly makes you one of the best we’ve ever worked with.”

It is hard to believe that another year has already passed since you spoke at our Annual National Convention in Indianapolis last summer. I do not believe there has ever been an instance in the past when the name of a speaker continued to surface so long after the event, but your name is still mentioned often.
Your program on management techniques was educational and entertaining. Even though we had another keynote for the week, your touching and enthusiastic address at the banquet was the consensus highlight of our conference. You now have the honor of being the only speaker in our company’s history to be invited back for a third consecutive year.
As we put the finishing touches on our event I am reminded of the pleasant experience we all enjoy in working with you. I appreciate the time you took to discuss and research the specific needs of our franchisees. I also thank you for tailoring your presentations to help us stick to our overall theme for the meeting.”

“Gary, there are many words one can use to describe your presentations, but after hearing you speak at three different events for the Club Managers Association of America (CMAA), I choose these: Moving. Captivating. Inspiring. Your sessions and group work/activities keep attendees engaged and excited. You ensure your powerful messages are relational and entertaining – a true gift. I loved ‘getting to’ work with you and will look for more opportunities to do so in the future… Thank you Doc!”

Dr. Gary Schwantz was a presenter at Handi Medical Supply’s 1stl Rehabilitation Equipment and Education Conference. On this date Gary had two presentations one entitled “Lessons on Stress Management for a 4 year old” and the other titled “Savoring Life”.
Countless times on this day our guests shared with me the tremendous value that they personally felt attending his seminars. Dr. Schwantz is a dynamic speaker with a powerful message. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have him speak at our event. Due to the overwhelming response to his presentations he is the only speaker we have scheduled to present thus far for our next conference.
Once again I would like to thank you for offering up this rich experience to the attendees of our annual conference.”
