“You jump-started our annual kickoff meeting with the perfect message and tone. What moved people the most were your stories and practical techniques for how to manage our energy and deepen our level of engagement. With the changes we’re facing, you delivered exactly what we needed to rise to the challenge. As the weeks pass, your message is sticking with us!”

Chief Executive Officer, Constant Contact

“Suneel knocked it out of the park! He was so wonderful to work with and the consensus is he was great. We are hearing a lot of great accolades and people have been citing his keynote takeaways.”

Director of Events, AppFolio

“You exceeded our expectations! When we brought our company together for KnitCon 2022, we wanted a message that would help our people turn inspiration into realization. Like so many companies, success is directly related to how engaged our team is with their goals and one another. You gave everyone practical tools to increase focus, tame distractions, and assure that we have the energy to overcome the inevitable challenges. As a result of your keynote, we are more resilient, engaged and ready to face our rapidly changing world of work.”

ENGINEERING MANAGER, PINTEREST

“Thank you for giving us a new way to think about how we work. At a time when work itself is being redefined and stress is coming from every direction, your presentation gave us real tools to use every day that will make us more effective, focused, and fulfilled at work and home. I could not be more impressed with what you delivered for our group.”

CEO, CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY

“Suneel Gupta is one of the highest-rated speakers we’ve ever had. His talk was filled with great insights on the essential ingredients for successfully accomplishing your goals by winning support from others along the way. I plan to put many of his ideas into action to become a more “backable” leader, and I know others who heard his talk plan to do the same. But, beyond all of the practical lessons, the lasting impression our audience had was that Suneel is a genuine, caring person who understands leadership challenges. His stories were filled with humility, empathy, and emotion, traits we rarely encounter from our keynote presenters. If you’re looking for an excellent talk delivered with a strong sense of humanity, I recommend Suneel Gupta.”

JEFF BURNSTEIN, PRESIDENT, ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCING AUTOMATION

“He was perfect!  He joined the Board members at the reception the night before and then delivered a great presentation at the Summit the next day to a packed audience.  He set the tone for our event and we’ve received incredibly positive feedback.”

MEDICAL ALLEY ASSOCIATION

“Suneel was fantastic! In addition to giving a thoughtful, relevant and inspiring keynote presentation – he was very accommodating and spent quite a bit of time interacting with board members and attendees.”

MEDICAL ALLEY ASSOCIATION

“Your presentation was inspiring and helped to remind us how much we lean on each other for our own success and happiness.”

EVP & MANAGING DIRECTOR, AMERICAS, DYNATA

“My phone has been blowing up with the overwhelming response. It was an honor having you with us and thank you for sharing your message to us here in Tupelo!!” 

VP OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION

“For a group of driven, competitive, analytical, type-A people that is one thing – and for people who are very proud of the service-oriented leadership work they and their organizations perform, it is quite another. The purpose in their work and their purpose as individuals are commingled, if not inseparable. To understand and value the differences, let alone demonstrate them to others in ways that connect, is very difficult. Your presentation provided keys to unlock the potential in self-awareness and leadership by example.” 

COO, NAT’L RURAL ELECTRIC CO-OP ASSN

“Thank you so much for an excellent close-out to the conference. You did a great job and are an outstanding speaker.” 

NAT’L RURAL ELECTRIC CO-OP ASSN

“…thank you so much for all you did to bring your special message to our MDC Owner Meeting earlier this month (including going above and beyond in your travel to Chicago!). Your message was very well received—in fact, this was the highest scoring session of our meeting, scoring 9.63 on a 10-point scale for relevance.”

CHIEF EXPERIENCE OFFICER, MEMBERS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

“Deeply memorable and inspiring. Suneel blends science with storytelling in a way I haven’t quite seen before. We referred to Suneel’s takeaways throughout the event and put them into practice immediately.” 

CEO, LIGHTHOUSE

“I didn’t know what to expect and I’m still in awe. This wasn’t just a keynote – it was a unique experience. I’d strongly recommend that every emerging leader go through this experience; it’s inspirational and transformative.”

SANDRA MARTINEZ, VICE PRESIDENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES, HARMAN INTERNATIONAL (A SAMSUNG COMPANY)

“Suneel is a true master of storytelling and his message was delivered to our audience at just the right time. Creating engagement at annual conferences can be tough. But when you couple that with a virtual conference environment, connecting with the audience is no easy feat. Suneel’s keynote on beating burnout to drive innovation was timely and his ability to draw in the audience resulted in the highest engagement numbers of all the sessions for our event. Some speakers can be too in the weeds, while others tend to speak over attendees’ heads. Suneel provided the perfect mix of actionable insights with passion for the topic. Attendees left refreshed, energized and appreciative of the experience.”

FREDDIE MAC, VICE PRESIDENT

“Suneel left our team smarter and ready to innovate.”

STERLING SHEA, GLOBAL HEAD OF WEALTH, DOW JONES

“Thought-provoking and inspiring. He resonated deeply with our audience.”

GLOBAL HEAD OF WEALTH, DOW JONES

“Remarkable! Extremely valuable! You ignited discussions for the rest of the conference. Hundreds of members have already downloaded your Backable principles, and I can already see them being used to spark fresh, creative ideas. I can’t wait for the book to come out! Can we have you back next year?”

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, STATE ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY RETIREMENT SYSTEMS

Suneel was a keynote speaker at our most recent #AssetMark #GoldForum conference, and he was incredible! Suneel was able to share key insights from his best selling book “Backable”, while incorporating those insights with his personal experiences. He took time to learn about our business, the great work that financial advisors do for their clients, and made his lessons impactful for the entire audience. We loved his energy, story telling and spirit! Thank you Suneel!!

PRESIDENT, ASSETMARK

“We brought Suneel in to speak to our portfolio executives and deliver a fresh outlook for leading  through chaotic times. We were dazzled from the start and took notes non-stop. The talk was packed with fresh insights and non-obvious takeaways that we could put into practice that same day. I’d highly recommend bringing Suneel to your next leadership event.”

PARTNER, ABS CAPITAL PARTNERS
