Collierville Chamber of Commerce
Rik Roberts offers the perfect combination of education and entertainment. As the keynote speaker for our Chamber's general membership luncheon, Rik began by engaged the audience with his dead-on imperination of Deputy Barney Fife. After some interactive fun with a few key business and community leaders in the room, he segwayed into a fantastic presentation about eliminating distractions in the workplace through the "Mayberry Method". The audience loved him, and everyone left with takeaways that can be easily implemented to increase productivity in any organization. Rik was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him!

Joshua Lozoff was FANTASTIC! Not only was his performance spot on with our communication theme, he also kept the audience engaged and entertained by including them in the presentation. He even adjusted his act to include an idea we came up with. He was very personable and comfortable to be around. He didn’t just do his presentation and leave, he stayed and enjoyed the day with us. I would highly recommend him for your next event. His ability to be versatile and provide what we were looking for was MAGIC!

Paul Miller's presentation of a "Juggler's Mindset" was exceptional! We booked Paul for our inaugural IT Employee Day event and was an overwhelming success. Many employees shared that they thought this would be another mundane, "rah-rah", or "preachy" attempt by management to motivate the workforce, but were pleasantly surprised. They loved Paul's very engaging style and personality and the very interactive, and entertaining presentation. I would highly recommend Paul for professional or social events. Thank you for making our employee event a very memorable one!

We really enjoyed Larry Weaver’s presentation at our all employee meeting. The jokes were a hit and, being from the south ourselves, were spot on! The motivational tips he threw in were just what we were looking for. I appreciate his promptness, professionalism, ease to work with and creativity. Larry’s ability to tie in bits from our other training earlier in the day made it that much funnier! It was just what we needed after a long day of training!

Rik Roberts (aka Barney Fife) spoke for CML USA, Inc. at our International Sales Meeting. We had representatives from Italy, Canada, Portugal and the U.S. After a full day of being served very technical information, our representatives enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy his performance. Rik's business message was clear and on point, and his very entertaining comedy routine had everyone in stitches from beginning to end. We wanted something light and entertaining yet informative for our sales professionals. From fun "citations" a the beginning to allowing photos to be taken with Barney, Rik Roberts provided exactly what we were looking for!
