"Darren really hit home the message of cultural differences between mediocre teams and winning teams. He truly left the room compelled to do more, give more, be more. Thank you, Darren, for an excellent keynote last night. The standing ovation was extremely deserved!"

"On behalf of the Konocti Unified School District, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to hear your message via videoconferencing on August 9, 2007.

"Thanks for being an excellent host at our Gala on Saturday night. You were a huge hit!" Laura Fuller, OSRAM SYLVANIA LTD

"Just a short note to tell you how much I took notice of you during your performance on The Debaters last week. I often times cringe in embarrassment for many of the comics, forces as they are, to go to-to-toe against each other before a live audience. I don't know how much advance time you have to create your rant, but the impressions I have is that you are hit with it on the spot. Regardless, your diatribe on the merits of pie versus cake was nothing short of brilliant. You had me not only laughing out loud in my car, but also marveling at the depth and clarity of your thought process. I muttered to myself, "this guy is the real deal." I wish you well in your future, which I truly believe will be filled with much success." Glenn Pelletier, Morning News Anchor 570 News
