Troy Hazard stands out as one of the few speakers in this world who truly understands franchising. His depth of experience in the category is without question. The real life accounts he has gathered from the many brands for which he has worked, and his life as a franchisee and franchisor, make him an incredible asset in any conference situation. He has worked with our many franchise companies as a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator and emcee, and on every occasion he has sent our team away with incredible take-home value. On top of Troy's experiences in business his unique life story is one of which audiences of all walks of life will relate to. From his struggling start to his glorious come back, Troy Hazard has lived the life of a successful serial entrepreneur and business owner. Captivating the audience with the ups and down of his life there was no doubt in my mind that all the attendees was constantly on the EDGE of their seats. We look forward to having him back again for another amazing inspiring and productive event.

Troy delivered a highly effective and engaging presentation as part of the US SMB Keynote Address at the 2012 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Toronto. He was able to align to the key themes of our overall program while bringing his own flavor and keeping his agenda highly relevant to our audience. His anecdotes landed well thanks to a great balance of business acumen, energy and humor. I've received tremendously positive feedback from our attendees who found Troy's presentation to be enjoyable and applicable to their own businesses. Above all, I personally enjoyed working with Troy. It's a tall task to energize an audience at 8:30 in the morning on the final day of a week-long conference, but Troy pulled it off, and I'd recommend him to any organization seeking to inspire a 'conscious change'!

- Vice President, Retail 1-800-Flowers
We selected Troy Hazard to present to both our Business Consultants and our Broker Owners at this year's annual convention. Troy expertly crafted a solid platform of tactical, practical business tools that really resonated. What made Troy's session exceptional was that he then created an opening for everyone in the room to really dig into the fundamental driving inspiration behind why we do what we do both as franchisors and as Broker Owners. One evaluation said, 'Thanks you so much. It was powerful for me to know that you care enough about our success to bring someone like this in to work with us.' Troy's practical business message for our team was a great investment. The icing on the cake was the very real and authentic delivery of that message. I think that's why he had such a powerful impact on our group.
