A few favorite client and audience testimonials - we have
hundreds more . . .
Clients:
“Borderline MAGNIFICENT - okay, across the border!” - Tucker Hiatt, founder and director of Wonderfest “In my role as Special Programs Coordinator, I engage speakers from a variety of disciplines. Dr. Ransom Stephens’ speeches still elicit rave reviews years, even a decade later. Last week, a student told me that Dr. Stephens’ talk was the turning point in his decision to pursue a science career.” - Lori Norris, University of Texas at Arlington “Ransom can be relied on to initiate, lead and deliver innovative programs.” - David Critchley, Agilent Technologies “The students loved your presentation! It is not often that our students agree on anything, but this time it has happened. Thank you so much for your time and effort to motivate and encourage. Your presentation is one that the students will remember and recall when they need uplifting.” -Karen Kesseru, Crossroads High School, Petaluma CA “A great talk with tons of good suggestions for looking for jobs and having a fulfilling career. Ransom rocks!" - Lee Sawyer, Louisiana Tech “Ransom’s ability to captivate audiences while explaining complex ideas is an art form.” - Kim Heine, Beyond the Box PresentationsAudience:
“Ransom is that teacher, the one who makes you wish you never left school.” - Andy Martwick, Intel “Challenged me to really evaluate myself as a professional . . . very strong, dynamic orator.” - Lennox Ginn “Lots of energy! Good audience participation! Getting us to commit to a path, wow, time flew by through presentation.” - Tom Diola, ProMatch “I just wanted to thank you. I still think about the things you said during your keynote. Not very many people discuss what rabbits we chase, but instead how to keep up with those rabbits. I'm sure people thank you all the time, but in all sincerity thank you for making such an impression on me. I still think about what you said one year later.” - Robert Simpson, UTA student “Entertaining and inspiring. Ransom’s knowledge is astounding and clearly stated.” - Julaina Kleist “Deeply thought provoking in a satisfying way.” - Paul Nicholson “Very cool, funny and enlightening.” - Tom Gibson, C6 “I think Ransom might be Hermann Weyl or another of Emmy [Noether’s] friends and mentees reincarnated, come back to share her story so she finally takes her rightful place in history.” - Thoi Pham “Excellent! Just enough math and science to be interesting without being overwhelming for those who lack a physics background.” - Andrew Lawrence, MENSA.
