Testimonials

John was a great fit and we had great guest feedback! He shared his story and understood our organization enough to put it all into alignment. The guests felt his warmth, serious message and soft humor. He was able to convey a great message about listening to the voice in your head and do something. John was very warm with all our guests. He was fabulous at connecting with our sponsors and donors at the reception the night before. He was so approachable and signed the books provided by a local book seller... Together, there was a lot of social media buzz especially on Facebook. I’m still hearing the buzz in the community about what a great event it was!

It was AWESOME. We had over 200 students, administrators and community members. In fact, a few people were visiting in South Bend, learned of the lecture and attended. They noted how much they enjoyed it... John was gracious and expressed deep appreciation for our students. Two of my student interns went with me to pick him up. We gave him a riding mini-tour of campus. He was engaged with them the entire time. He was the same during our sponsor and student dinner.  I would highly recommend him to other colleagues and will for a national board I am on.

The John Quiñones event was wonderful. We had nearly 700 attending. John was very gracious with his time. In addition to visiting two Business Law classes, he met with our TRIO students and others working for small startup companies. He happily posed for about 100 pictures with various guests.

John was amazing! The students and the Waco community greatly enjoyed him. He interacted with anyone he could from the time he stepped foot on campus to the time he left. The students have not stopped talking about how much they enjoyed having him on campus for this event. I could go on for days on positive feedback we have received about Mr. Quinones. I want to thank APB for working with us to make this event happen.

I saw your address at the University of Washington Bothell. I also watched Steve Ballmer at University of Washington and President Obama at University of California, Irvine, and I enjoyed your talk the most.

It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday! I want to thank you again for coming to Seattle to be our keynote speaker. I have had nothing but rave reviews over the speech you delivered to our students! Even a couple of our Regents said “that was the best commencement address I’ve ever heard.” You were terrific!

-Director of Ceremonies, University of Washington Bothell

John was a gracious guest: very accommodating to our many requests and very friendly! He was especially patient with ‘fans’ of all ages, posing for photographs and signing books with personal touches. He really took his time with students and engaged them with natural charisma... Regarding the breakfast lecture specifically, many (written) participant evaluations indicated that breakfast guests were truly “inspired” by John’s stories and message. 

-Cardinal Stritch University

Having Mr. John Quiñones on our campus during Hispanic Heritage Month was absolutely delightful. He is most definitely what we call a “people’s person;” humble, motivational, and real to his audience. He spoke from the heart about real issues that we Latinos face. He was able to inspire and connect with a diverse audience in a very special way. At the end of the lecture, he took the time to take photos and give autographs... This was a one-of-a-kind event. Mr. Quiñones received a well deserved standing ovation.
