“It was an absolute pleasure working with Tyler, and his sessions were hilarious and really made a splash at our event.”

Andrew Bucci
Association of Municipal Administrators

“Tyler’s 150% explosive energy is the first thing we enjoyed about him. Then he took the stage with his hilarious stories, heartfelt reminders of what is important in life, and his ability to inspire audience members and we loved him even more. Tyler made room in his schedule to contribute his professional stories to our post-secondary student session and offered an inspiring leadership based workshop. He also took the opportunity to remain at the conference and met staff, volunteers, and conference attendees, spreading his energy and enthusiasm with witty conversations and unique stories. We enjoyed Tyler’s contributions to our conference and would highly recommend him as a keynote speaker!”

Executive Director, Recreation Connections Manitoba

“Entertaining, energetic and certainly outside the box, Tyler left our group with some key messages that we will carry with us going forward and these will ultimately help us be even more successful. His presentation was full of energy and very entertaining, yet our managers took some key messages that were consistent with how we want to build our team and achieve success as we move into a new fiscal year.”

Sales & Business Development, Intact Insurance, Atlantic Division

“We worked with Tyler for 4 years as our main stage host. Every year he reinvented himself, bringing amazing audience participation, engaging dialogue with keynoters, and a fun yet professional image to our event. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Tyler as your EMCEE and Keynote solution for your next event.”

Past President, Project Management Institute, Southern Alberta Chapter

“Feedback from the participants was glowing for both presentations. Light it Up was an exciting ice breaker for the crowd and really made sure participants met everyone at their table. Interestingly, I personally had even more feedback on Livin Life Large, where people seemed to really connect with the messages of “one little thing today”, “be a little outside of you comfort zone”, and “enthusiasm is caught, not taught”.

A great kick off to our conference, Tyler you really took the materials we provided, you seemed like one of us, and made both sessions OUR sessions.

Senior Director, Customer Insights and Loyalty, Lawtons Drugs
