Written Testimonials
“Tim Gard is the ultimate professional. I’ve heard Tim speak at national conventions several times over the years and have always been impressed. I have been delighted to include him as a mainstage presenter at my annual conference on multiple occasions. I know that Tim will show up fully, deliver exactly as we had discussed, maintain professionalism throughout, and always brings educational content to his presentations along with the humor. To say that working with Tim is a slam dunk is no exaggeration. He’s got your back, he flexes where needed, and he will always deliver at the best of his abilities. The best part? Your attendees will be surprised and delighted. You’ll hear them talking about his presentation for weeks and months afterward. Yippee!”
