“To watch Nick Bontis present is like watching an artist create his masterpiece. He puts the same amount of energy and passion into his presentation and he can make even the driest of subjects such as statistics sound interesting. If you have the opportunity to hear Nick speak, you won’t be disappointed!”

“Let’s face it, Dr. Bontis has supreme confidence in his ability to engage an audience. I mean who else gets up in front of a crowd of 1,400 (just AFTER they’ve eaten lunch) and begins to talk while half the room is already healthily engaged in idle conversation. Most speakers I’ve ever seen have either waited in silence like an elementary school teacher, or they “ahem” their way to audience attentiveness. Dr. Bontis just started talking once on stage and within 30 seconds the entire room went from ‘chatter-chatter’ to complete silence. After 5 minutes people were afraid to cough in fear of missing something he said. The information given during the entire day-long staff meeting was interesting and relevant – and so was his keynote session – but the difference is HOW he engages people. Dr. Bontis is what people mean when they say that someone is dynamic.”
