Praise for Brock Tully as Speaker<\/h4>\n

\u201cI truly enjoyed meeting Brock and was touched with his stories. His optimism and open hearted approach in various life situations are the best reminder and a model for me personally and I\u2019m sure, many others. His books carry Brock\u2019s spirit of support and care of each other as well as wise observations about life in general. I\u2019m trying to share his ideas with my son. I would highly recommend Brock\u2019s books to everyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/i>Nadya P., White Spot Ltd.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/strong>\u201cBrock\u2019s stories and experiences are wonderful reminders of how a little kindness can go a long way! It was great meeting you, Brock! May you continue to touch more lives!\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Sabrina W., White Spot Ltd.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI read once that \u2018Example is not the main thing in influencing others.\u00a0 It\u2019s the only thing.\u2019 \u00a0That pretty much sums it up for me.\u00a0 Brock does an amazing job at sharing a powerful way to live and work with kindness by being the example of it.\u00a0 His open heart and authenticity inspires and treats your soul.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t leave the presentation with pages of notes and a systematic way of gaining success.\u00a0 I left believing that each day and person is a treasure full of beauty and potential and if I tap into that, then I\u2019ve been successful.\u00a0 Brock- Thank you for being such a great example\u2026\u201d\u00a0Julie Rocho-Levine,\u00a0Manager of Marine Animals, Dolphin Quest Oahu.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
