Andy has a presence like no other speaker I've heard. He has a way of
relating with his audience on an intimate level - like we've all been
friends for years! All the students loved hearing him speak on the topic
at hand and his comic relief was really needed.
Andy spoke to our group for more than an hour but it only felt like ten
minutes! He goes between speaking and activities so that the audience
feels like he's not talking at them, but rather having a conversation
with them. He's great! That's all that I can say!
We'll definitely invite him back again!

I am a first year student at Queens...and I saw you speak this
orientation week here. Wow ... I wanted to honestly let you know that
your speech was a life changing event that I will never forget. You are
very talented and WOW did I ever relate to a lot of the things that you
talked about. Thank you so much for giving me such an amazing memory for
my frosh week.

I would strongly recommend Andy's presentation to anyone who is looking
to provide some motivation for their staff or organization. His use of
humor and audience participation keeps students interested in his speech
while he delivers an important message about caring. He tells personal
stories that the audience can relate to. Most importantly, Andy presents
in a style that suggests he wants to help us, instead of the "I am going
to save the world and am going to tell you how you can too" approach
that many of us have seen.

I did a survey of all the redshirts (our Orientation Week volunteers) at
the end of the whole week. So many of them listed Andy as their favorite
part! The UNB Orientation Program will always have Andy back to speak to
our Orientation leaders. He embodies in his 2 hour speech everything
that we are trying to get across to our volunteers and more. He is
funny, articulate, intelligent, down to earth and approachable. Expect
to leave his presentations with a new outlook; you'll never go back to
being a wallflower!

I have reviewed all the evaluation forms for last September and the Peer
Mentor's truly loved your presentation! I have personally benefited as
well and have begun chatting more extensively with individuals and
students. (From small talk to smart talk, just like you said!).
