"Alex Pattakos is one of the most effective, well-prepared, intelligent, and entertaining speakers I have known in my forty years of professional life. He is energetic and moves people from inaction to action."
U.S. Department of the Interior


"You did a wonderful job reading the audience and their experience with the topic you addressed. I have to say that I quoted your insights frequently over the weekend. What is most inspiring to me is your application of this in the workplace.  So many try to be theoretical and you bring it to a level that anyone can learn from and apply personally.  Thanks so much for your time and sharing."

"It is most important to me what happens after a speech and what are the results – how a speaker or leader affects others and if their efforts result in positive actions and change. In all cases, I must say that Alex is remarkable. He has remarkable positive effects on people, organizations, leadership development, team building, and productivity. He immediately engages people and gains their confidence. He shoots straight and his messages are clear and very inspiring."
