MUSTER

“Sean made my Event a hit. His presentation style set the tone early regarding what engagement would be like during the meeting. Several attendees said they had read Extreme Ownership and seeing it in person made many of the points more understandable and relatable. Others said it was the best speaker they had seen. I knew it would be a great session, but it was better than expected… way better!!”

“Sean was world-class. He was able to tie in his field experience and how Extreme Ownership relates to all areas of life. I even had several people from outside of my department contact me after the training and commented on how well it was received.”

“Sean was an amazing instructor. His background in construction gave him the ability to easily relate the principles of Extreme Ownership to our employees in a simple way that everyone who attended could understand. I had very high expectations for the training, and I can honestly say that Sean blew them out of the water. We have gotten so much positive feedback from everyone in our company. Employees who have never heard of Extreme Ownership are now following you on social media and going into in-depth conversations about the content you produce.”
