“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.” - Cat Jones, Bismarck-Mandan Young Professionals Network

“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 😊.” - Suzy Young, Centurion Consultants | IQC Southwest

“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. - Taylor Vincent, Sales Enablement, Handshake

 “Tom Turcich’s keynote was nothing short of extraordinary. His story captivated the room—equal parts vulnerable, inspiring, and unexpectedly relevant to the real estate industry. He reminded us what it means to persevere, to adapt, and to find meaning in every step forward.

“Tom Turcich delivers on all the critical elements of a successful keynote. He has an inspiring story: a seven-year journey walking across the world, overcoming physical limits and emotional challenges such as heartbreak and loneliness. He has clear takeaways, such as setting deliberate goals and embracing constraints, that anyone can apply to their life, regardless of the journey they are on. And most importantly, he has a keynote speaker’s presence while also maintaining humility and openness. While he may be the one on the main stage, his keynote feels like a personal conversation between him and each member of the audience.

In today’s world, Tom’s message of resilience is an important one, and his delivery is deliberate and impactful. He breaks down each of his strategies carefully, ensuring the audience remains with him throughout the entire talk. He intersperses anecdotes and photos of his travels, so although Tom is conveying a very important message, the audience feels like they’re sharing in his story rather than learning a lesson. On top of being an incredible speaker, Tom is also the consummate professional to work with—communicative, kind, and generous with his time. Tom was the perfect speaker to close our event, motivating attendees on their last day of learning and sending them off with an inspiring message they won’t soon forget.”- Editorial Manager, Products & Events at ACDIS
