TESTIMONIALS

ADAM WAHLBERG | FAST HORSE PR | COPY CHIEF

Doug is a world-class speaker who immediately commanded the attention of the Fast Horse PR staff with his genial manner and irreverent sense of humor and his willingness to share moments of vulnerability from his own career and life, which immediately had our staff leaning forward and understanding that this is a speaker they can relate to. This doesn’t happen often with speakers. No one was checking their phones when Doug was speaking.

In the span of just one hour Doug was able to provide specific tools that Fast Hose staff members can use to manage stress, from breathing exercises to tapping to help think through emotions. I can say that weeks later several Fast Horse staff members have employed both strategies to great effect.

Doug is extremely skilled at creating conversations during his presentations so audience members aren’t in passive mode. Many Fast Horse colleagues shared stories from their careers and lives during the sessions, including some involving difficult challenges, and Doug was able to provide context and insights into the emotional landscape people may need tools to navigate. All in all it was a most substantive and uplifting presentation and we were so grateful to Doug for spending time with us.

JASNA BURZA | LIFE + BUSINESS COACH

Doug led a mindfulness workshop for the members of my Minneapolis Uplevel Together Mastermind and it was absolutely incredible. He came prepared and was super engaged with our members who loved everything he shared. Mindfulness can be a complicated and often avoided topic but Doug has this way of teaching that is tangible, specific and very entertaining. The members loved him and especially loved the exercises that he incorporated as part of the workshop. I personally was in awe and I think that his workshops are THE thing to attend because they are as informative as they are engaging and entertaining and his light and spirit just lifts the energy of every room he walks into. This is why we are having him again as a guest and I can’t recommend him enough!

Doug spoke at Creative Mornings in 2018 on tools to reduce anxiety. We're always looking for a strong perspective with our speakers and Doug definitely delivered just that. He brought enthusiasm, charm, energy, and care to his talk. Doug uses a unique combo of humor and vulnerability that really connects with an audience. His energy is high. His stories are truthful. His style is his own. If you're looking for a speaker that will care about putting together a compelling talk - plus is fun and easy to work with - Doug is your speaker!
