“Thanks so much for delivering our keynote address last week to open the 84th Annual Meeting of the West Virginia Credit Union League. It was the first time in our long history that we didn't hold the meeting in-person and it was our first venture into the world of virtual meetings. A lot was riding on the opening presentation and we couldn't be happier with the message you delivered. Not only was your story captivating, it was truly an inspirational message that resonated with all of our folks. Immediately after the meeting and continuing a week later, we're hearing compliment after compliment on your remarks. One CEO shared this with me: "I was inspired by Dave Sanderson’s presentation and his recollection of his Mom’s words that propelled him in that moment and throughout his life. It resonated with me because my Dad never allowed my sister or I to say ‘Life’s not fair’. His response was yes, you are correct life’s not fair so what are you going to do to make the situation better." Many very similar responses have been received. It was a real pleasure working with you. No doubt you've delivered a similar message many times since that fateful day in 2009, yet your message was fresh and moving as if it had just occurred. Thank you for doing such a professional job for us.”

"We had many, many comments from our attendees that you were one of the best Keynotes we have had EVER! I knew it was a real success when there weren’t any books left behind, (never seen that before) and we had to refresh the notepads at break, because at least half the people had taken their entire notepad with them when they left for break. I hope we can work together at another event in the future."

“Thank you for the absolutely fabulous presentation you did last week. It was more than a home run. I guess the bases were loaded and you hit a home run. They just haven’t stopped talking about the quality of the presentation and the impact of the presentation. Our goal of arming the organization with some practical doable things at the end of the presentation was clearly, clearly well met”

"Thank you again for the fantastic keynote message you delivered to our dealers at our recent Dealers Convention. I was asked how our special speaker was this year by one of our dealers who was unable to attend this year's convention, and I told him without hesitation that he missed one of the - if not the - best speakers we have ever had. I went on to say that I felt Steve Gilliland was one of the top two speakers I have ever had the privilege to hear."R.K. Central Boiler
