Testimonials

Our attendees also greatly appreciate your complete engagement with them and how Brian Lee tailored his two talks with pictures and quotes from participants and the other speakers. This special touch made us feel like we were your only thought in the world and made a very positive impression that will last for quite some time. Not only were we educated, but we were also entertained.

Dena Jarog, DNP, RN

Executives, Program Chair
Wisconsin Organization of Nurse

Your presentation was engaging, informative, and entertaining, and our attendees were delighted. We especially appreciated the many insightful approaches you shared with our group, and your story-based methodology was most appreciated.

Robert Duehmig

Interim Director
Oregon Office of Rural Health

Once again, your presentation was exactly what we asked for and more. You were engaging and entertaining, all while delivering information that was relevant to each person in the room. Your message was challenging and encouraging to the health care professionals who left that conference ready to bring new ideas and energy to their hospitals and patients. Your ability to interact with the audience by incorporating them into your presentation helps them be attentive and responsive. With that, we saw attendees who were clearly seeing new ways to improve their patient engagement for the first time.

Julia Kettlewell, MPH, BSN, RNP

Director of Quality
AFMC

Attendees found your presentation both fitting and insightful, dealing not only with issues confronting rural hospitals across the country, but spotlighting straightforward methods to improve the patient experience in those hospitals. Your recommendations of the Four Must-Haves are environmental game changers for those hospitals and clinics struggling financially today.

Margaret Vaughn

Executive Director
Illinois Rural Health Association

Thank you for your outstanding presentation as a keynote speaker. Your presentation of Hardwiring a 5 Star Community Health Experience was as insightful as it was entertaining. Your targeted, focused delivery was on point and the attendees were able to implement many of your suggestions as soon as they were back in their health centers. You immediately connected with the group and lead them through a story based methodology that was truly enjoyable, and therefore valuable to all.

Philip L. Morphew

CEO
Indiana Primary Health Care Association

Starting off the conference with Brian’s presentation was one of the best things we did. Brian Lee’s energy, his ability to engage his audience, and his material were exactly what we were looking for to kick off our conference. I recommend Brian Lee and his organization for HCAHPS improvement, quality improvement, and speaking at your next big event. Feel free to contact me.
