with...

Your presentation was a huge hit. Literally hundreds of people commented to me how funny they thought it was and how much “they needed that” at that juncture of the conference. I have hired a couple of comedy headliners in the past (Louis Anderson, Smothers Bros.) but I must tell you I have never seen anyone kill for over an hour the way you did. I was dying laughing, and I had seen your slides in advance!”
- John Connors, Iron Mountain
Wow! What a show! How much positive feedback I got on your routine! Thank You! Thank You!
- Jeff McCreary, Texas Instruments SVP of Sales
We want to thank you again for an outstanding and very entertaining evening this past week. We heard nothing but great comments from the attendees for the rest of the week. Your presentation and delivery really hit the mark and resonated with all of us in the audience. This was one of the highlights for the event and helped to make this one of our most successful C3 events to-date.”
- Trent Cross, HP
McMillan’s humor transcends cultural borders. We have people from offices in 47 places around the world and his humor really resonates with our entire company. He appeals to high-tech crowds, but he can relate to just about anybody.”
- Don Maulsby, SVP Sales Mentor Graphics speaking in a profile of Don that appeared in the April 2008 edition of the IEEE Spectrum Magazine
I want to thank you for doing such a splendid job at the IBM Hundred Percent Club. You are funny and the audience loved every minute of your performance. They really identified with you and appreciated your humorous take on their world and work. I especially admire your dedication to developing and working in new material into every show. As terrific as each performance was, you were alert to improving it and finding ever new ways to keep your audience laughing.”
- Ted Lorenz, Ted Lorenz Productions
You were bang on in what we wanted to accomplish and I continue to get comments each day about what a great reprieve it was from the full week of `Death by PowerPoint’.”
- Rochelle Coleman, Microsoft Regional Business Director
The feedback on the show for Genentech is all great and you received great marks on the surveys. Thanks for the outstanding job as always and for being soooo easy to work with. It really makes all the difference in the world.”
- Ed Schultz, Ellen Michaels Presents, Inc.
Don was fabulous and the evaluations I’ve read so far echo my sentiment. People especially appreciated the clean humor and that you took the extra effort to learn about pooling and incorporate material about our business into the presentation.”
- Harold Pumford, CEO Association of Governmental Risk Pools
Thank you for coming to “speak” to the FEI group in Maui. So many people thought that they were really going to get a lecture on PowerPoint. Plus, I think they got something out of it: All subsequent “busy” slides were prefaced with a disclaimer that now the speaker knows it has too much data. Sometimes you need the humor to drive home the valid points.”
- Andrée Kraker, FEI Company
Don was easy to work with, he grasped our business quickly and he created some very funny original material that was perfectly tailored to our audience.”
- Teresa Grove, VP of Marketing First American Real Estate Solutions
You were the highlight of the event. Thanks for making this event a success!”
- Dan Law, IBM Human Resources Manager
The feedback we received was exceptional and everyone had a good time. Most of the audience was totally thrown off by introducing you as our new sales VP. It was great!”
- Andrew Girardi, nVidia
Don, we truly enjoyed your performance, and you made us look like heroes for booking you! HP couldn’t have been happier, and everyone talked about it for the rest of the week.”
- Laurie Steele, Burns Marketing
Thanks for bringing such fun and laughter to our 3 U.S. kickoff meetings. I received lots of very positive feedback about your appearance and you helped make our meetings very upbeat. After your first show, you created a buzz and boosted attendance at our two follow up meetings in Austin & Santa Clara.”
- Paul Casso, BMC Corporation
Thanks so much for all you did to make our event so successful. We got tons of positive response about your performances. I think it was the first time we had such a turnout for a lunch speaker! We heard lots of people commenting that they had to get to that lunch to see your presentation.”
- Bess Matuszewski, Intuit
I wanted to thank you again for the excellent job you did. I had my reservations about the early hour, but it worked well and the response has been very positive. Anything that improves the IT relationship with other operations groups is a plus.”
- Jim Diederichs, Rogers Communications
The feedback was absolutely great. Everyone loved how we introduced you as a ‘serious’ speaker and then how it turned out. Great show!”
- Mike Kronenwetter, Highmark VP Technology Management
Don thanks so much for your outstanding presentation at this year’s conference. The feedback I’ve heard from clients and NSB Group personnel alike has been uniformly excellent. Everyone really enjoyed such a positive and side-splitting start to the conference: it set the tone for all the good stuff that followed.”
- Tracy Fairchild, STS Systems Director of Communications
You
were a major hit in Bartlesville with the ConocoPhillips
employees. Here is some of what I heard:
1. Everyone that I talked to said that you were the “perfect” entertainer
for this group and made for a great evening. There was a buzz
about your performance for days after the event.
2. One person mentioned that he saw some IT guys who he had
never seen smile, pound the table doubled up in laughter.
3. A few fellows from Europe said that they did not understand a
few of your references but were amazed that you had captured
both their career and marriage.
4. I also heard that you have influenced PowerPoint
presentations - in one case, someone went back and changed the
default from New Times Roman for a presentation the next day.
Others have talked about how they are thinking twice before
using certain features.”

Walter Gasior, Director ConocoPhillips
