“Tom's keynote on redefining constraints was a true lightbulb moment for our attendees. His personable and engaging style made it feel like he was speaking directly to each of us, drawing us into his incredible story and message. 

The energy in the room was palpable after his talk, with attendees buzzing about their own ‘flags’ and how to apply his insights to their lives. Tom's message goes beyond his amazing walk around the world; it's a journey of self-discovery that resonates deeply. If you want to energize and inspire your audience, you absolutely need to hire Tom.”

“We had Tom speak at our APWA – Southern Nevada Branch. He was a pleasure to work with, was professional and easy going which was appreciated with the last-minute changes that happened on our end.  

Tom spoke with confidence and his presentation was not forced – the messages of embracing inconveniences, constraints, and achieving your life goals came across naturally and were memorable with the stories that he shared. He did an excellent job tying our public works theme into his presentation with facts about the greenspace concept used in Barcelona, and Costa Rica with their clean water initiatives. Our attendees are a tough crowd to keep engaged and Tom kept them captivated during his luncheon presentation with his stories, photos of his travels, and of Savannah.  A handful of people stayed after the luncheon to talk to Tom one on one. It was cool to see! One attendee also recognized Tom from his children's book and wished he had brought it for an autograph 😊.”

“Tom Turcich's keynote presentation at our company Sales Kick-off event was nothing short of transformative. With his engaging storytelling and profound insights, Tom delivered a message that resonated deeply with our sales team, leaving us inspired and empowered. Tom's journey of resilience and perseverance, as he traversed the globe on foot for over 7 years, served as a powerful metaphor for the challenges we face in our professional lives. His ability to overcome adversity and maintain unwavering determination struck a chord with each member of our team.

What set Tom apart as a speaker was not just his incredible journey but also his ability to distill key lessons and actionable strategies for building grit and resilience in challenging times. He shared practical tips and techniques that our sales team could immediately apply to their lives and careers.

I cannot recommend Tom Turcich enough as a keynote speaker for any event or organization seeking to inspire and motivate its audience. His message of grit and resilience is timeless and universal, and his delivery is captivating and impactful. Thank you, Tom, for an unforgettable experience that will continue to resonate with our team for years to come.

“Tom Turcich touched the lives of all students who were at the EOF Diversity and Leadership Retreat. He shared his story with such passion and enthusiasm that radiated the room as he was speaking. The favorite part from his presentation was how he was completely transparent about his journey and showed when he was the most vulnerable as he was achieving his goal to travel around the world by foot. Students were able to take that life have many ups and downs and that achieving goals can take time, but if you are resilient and passionate about achieving whatever it is they want out of life, they can do it! From Tom’s words, many students started to think about their own life plans and the steps they will need to take in order to achieve them. Whether that can be immediate or steps that require years of knowledge, experience and grit, they know they can achieve anything as Tom was able to achieve his. I believe that Tom is a great presenter and can tailor any discussion of his story to anyone! He takes the time to really get to know the students and what they have gone through in their lives to get to where they are today. His story and journey can be translated to anyone who is in the room listening and I believe his words had a lasting impact on the EOF students present for the Diversity and Leadership Retreat at Salem Community College.”
