TESTIMONIALS
"In 20 years of producing events for blue-chip brands, I have never seen such an engaging speaker as Jim Knight. His content is compelling, informative, and relevant to the times, but most importantly, very emotionally engaging. The audience was absolutely engaged for 2 straight hours as Jim articulated his philosophy on brand building with incredible stories and characters from his experiences. We will be bringing him back!"

"As a meetings and events industry veteran who knows so many speakers personally, I think Jim Knight is a rare gem amongst the rest. Hearing Jim’s presentation on 'Service That Rocks' helped me to find and hit the 'reset' button in my approach with my current and potential clients. It was just the reminder I needed about the importance of my service level and how I can use my outstanding service to win customers for life."

His expert knowledge, captivating charm, and contagious passion for building a strong culture and sustainable brand are remarkable and put him in a league of his own.

NICK CHRISTOPHER
former General Manager, Hard Rock Cafe, Gatlinburg
"It's not often I recommend another speaker, because mainly they're full of hot air. Jim is different. He combines the rare ingredients of passion and knowledge with the speaking ability to stand on the stage and have an audience tuned in from the first word to the last. He'd be an asset to any event lineup."

"A funny thing happened on the way to the August 2012 HR Florida Conference. Our keynote speaker canceled at the last minute! Over 1,500 people were waiting. Thanks to Jim Knight’s immediate response of ‘Yes, I will be there for your group,’ the session was saved. What a performance! And the audience’s response: ‘He was beyond amazing!’ Who knew that the group would end up being thankful for the disappointment of losing our planned keynote? Jim was a great speaker, full of energy, humor, and sage advice for HR business leaders. Jim rocked!"
