Praises for Bill Burnett:
"Dave and Bill perfectly hit the balance for the audience and spoke to the crowd in a targeted way. I couldn’t have hoped for anything more. The room was packed and in spite of being early in the morning, about 1000 people attended. Smashing success."
"Bill was great!! His content was right on target with what we requested and received very well by the audience. It really helped deepen our understanding of design thinking."
". . . Bill was engaging, humorous, and fearless in taking our questions and scenarios, and also in sharing his views of other processes for attaining creativity and innovation. We put ourselves in his hands for 4 hours, and emerged more thoughtful and energized than I could have hoped for. I highly recommend engaging with Bill to get a different way of thinking about life’s important questions and a different pathway to solving them."

"Dave was an absolute success. His messages resonated so well with our audience—his delivery is so upbeat and energizing. He set a wonderful tone for the whole entire day."
"Dave was OUTSTANDING! He created such a buzz on day one that people were still talking about it all the way through the close of the conference. Dave set the tone for what I think was one of the best HRPS conferences ever."
"Dave was very well received – both highly entertaining and educational! The whole day went swimmingly and helped put Metro State and its career center on the map. It was just what I had hoped for – Dave introduced some fresh thinking and sparked a lot of discussion already. I think people were surprised at how much fun they had and there was a lot of laughter in both sessions."
