Kent was the perfect keynote speaker to kick off our State Conference!
"Kent Julian was the perfect keynote speaker to kick off our State Conference for an audience of over 7,000, and all I heard were positive comments from our advisers, students, and guests. He grabbed our attention right from the start, his message was very open and honest, and his main point was so clear and easy to understand: Events + RESPONSE = Outcome.
Everyone loved Kent’s personal stories and the way he interacted with us from the stage. His timing is great, his message is relevant, he is the easiest motivational youth speaker you will work with, and it’s obvious he personally walks his talk.”
