“I have attended some great educational programs offered
by my prior employer, General Electric, including courses
at Harvard, but Bill’s workshop was by far the most intensive one-
day, high-impact, thought-provoking session I’ve ever attended in
my career.”

“Bill Jensen gave an engaging keynote address to our leadership
team. His passion about the advantages of
simplifying change,
so we could do more with less, had
a positive impact on the way
we drive communication and
change today. He encouraged dialog
during the session —
and our group responded. He also wove
stories and humor throughout his presentation.”

Bill’s was unquestionably the best presentation at our event!
As event organizers, we felt every presentation we offered was
terrific, but
Bill’s was the one everyone was still talking about
as we went home.”

“Bill energized the 800 Oracle University attendees at our annual
meeting. His “on the mark” comments reinforced our strategy of
just-in-time education and its relevance to a simpler work
environment. He was humorous while instilling in the crowd a
sense of urgency. People from that session are still quoting
him!”

“Bill Jensen is a powerful and engaging speaker.
His interactive half-day presentation provided a roadmap
for effective ways to compete on clarity. Bill’s style is high
energy, creative, and dare I say...fun. Our members (senior HR
professionals) found him to be an excellent speaker, teacher,
and confidante. If you’re looking for a speaker who speaks from
the heart (and experience), then Bill Jensen
is the right person.
Enjoy the ride!”

“Making work simpler was a topic that drew record crowds to our
recent Australia and New Zealand Forums. It was the right
message for our member's workplaces. Within the allotted 90
minutes, Bill was able to get all attendees participating and
engaged — his ability to make the issues relevant to each
individual situation was brilliant. Great message, great presentation,
great motivation — the best attendee feedback we've ever had!”

Bill’s session was ranked Number One by all our attendees.
His Work Smarter, Not Harder presentation was extremely valuable.
Not only did he give everyone great tools and new perspectives,
but also left them clamoring for more!
iiiAnd he walks his talk: He was so well-organized and proactive
in his preparations, he made my job as an events organizer
very easy!

“Bill’s mandate not only made for an engaging and insightful
presentation, it led me to redirect allocations for new equipment,
training and people, to build task groups in all directions for decision
making, and support a restructuring of my Board of Trustees!
While I give Bill credit for sounding an alarm to cause these changes,
he’s also very down to earth, fun-loving, and generous.”

“I trusted Bill with the design and facilitation of our first-ever
global meeting. And he delivered! As a speaker, he knew just when
to be humorous, informative, or to supply a dose of tough-love.
The breakout sessions he designed instantly created breakthroughs
and improved teamwork. Better business results continue to come
directly from that one meeting.”

“Bill Jensen’s presentation on helping companies design jobs
to keep employees engaged and committed to the company’s
success, was an important part of the success of our recent Forum.
Our charter is about learning from people who
are interested in
creating the future. Bill’s work provides the critical insights and for
any business leader who wants to attract and retain great people.”

“Bill was an innovative fresh breeze at our highly technical
accounting conference. His topic, “Getting Simple: Cutting Through
the Clutter with Clients and Employees”, provided the participants
with much needed insights. I think everyone had
at least one
“aha” moment during the session. Bill’s message on how to handle
the plethora of information we deal with on a daily basis has
relevance in any training arena. I am excited about working with
him again.”

Bill Jensen is exactly what we needed as our final keynote
presenter to close the first day of the Braintrust International
Knowledge Management Summit. Bill
’s energy and passion for his
topic, his humorous approach to a very serious subject, and his
provocative style, engaged the audience. 
iiiAt the end of a long day of presentations and discussions,
we all needed to be re-awakened and re-energized. 
Bill accomplished that in a way that excited most delegates,
and enraged others, but he got everyone's attention, which is
exactly what the Braintrust Conference leadership team wanted
and expected.

“On very short notice, Bill was able to quickly tailor his unique
message and toolkit to the needs of our management team
and incorporate our strategic objectives.
Bill’s CLEAR direction on
improving the clarity of communication and cleaning out the
clutter of work landed on a very receptive audience, many of
have already begun to experiment and enhance their performance!

If you are
seeking just "infotainment,"
where everybody
leaves motivated
and happy,
but never has to
think or be
challenged,
then Bill is
probably not
right for you.
Bill will motive!
AND he will ask
you to think.
He will challenge
your set of
assumptions.

I don't know which
thrilled the Chinese
officials more;
the points I made
or the fact that I made
them by ripping up
a shirt!
