Barry Alvarez, University of Wisconsin: “Bill’s style is very entertaining and amusing, but his message is never lost. When he starts his presentation, the electricity builds. I have never listened to a speaker so intently. After Bill Collar delivers his message you leave the room ready to take on any challenge. He is our player’s favorite speaker at camp.”

Robert Crist, Delavan-Darien Schools: "Bill Collar was our “Keynote Speaker” last fall for the opening kick-off with all staff. He spoke on “Positive Mental Attitudes”. He had a marvelous engaging presentation that mesmerized the entire audience! His message was extremely positive, made one reflect on oneself and daily things we can control and do to help others and ourselves. The use of daily humor was obvious and something we can all do. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any organization. I am planning to engage him again for a periodic tune-up.

Tom Strehl, Pomp’s Tire: “I especially want to commend you for participating with our sales force during their breakout sessions. Getting their feedback and using it during your presentation was very professional. Our group of over 500 salespeople accepted your presentation with common sense vision and value driven messages. They also had a lot of fun."

Tom Kleppek, Riddell, Inc.: “Thank you for the outstanding presentation at our national sales conference. We were impressed with how you managed to integrate a powerful motivational message and appropriate humor. Over 300 sales reps left the conference with renewed enthusiasm. They appreciated your message. The standing “O” said it all.”
