VIDEO TESTIMONIALS:
Retired
Air Force Colonel Lee Ellis heads a consulting
group titled Leadership Freedom. His upcoming book
describes his combat experience in Vietnam--where after
53 missions he was shot down, and then held captive for
more than five years. That experience generated his book title:
Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton. Lee enlisted Dr. Lampton's
Speech Coaching services to sharpen his keynote speech
to a conference of 400 strength and conditioning coaches.
Two intensive sessions brought very obvious improvement
to his message and his delivery style. Driving to Iowa
after his Kansas City speech, he called Bill to report
his success at the event, judging by enthusiastic audience response
during his speech and conversations afterward at an exhibit booth. |

WRITTEN TESTIMONIALS:
“I have enjoyed working with you over the
last few months. You have done wonders with two of my
phobias which include speaking in front of a camera, as well
as public speaking. I appreciate your recommendations and
you have truly taken me to a more confident level in my
speaking.”
--Lane Jones, President, Highland
Mountain Beverage Services, Inc.
“We recently retained Bill to assist us with improving
our professional speaking and presenting skills. Through his written and
audio works, together with his intensive series of speech coaching
sessions, which included videotaped presentations with Bill’s assessment
and feedback, we enjoyed immediate and obvious improvement in our
speaking and presenting skills that no doubt will serve us well for
years to come.”
--Robert G. Pennington, President &
CEO, Willis Investment Counsel
“Bill Lampton makes communications simple. I had the
pleasure of participating in a recent presentation of his, and I found
his ideas easy to follow and supported by examples and visual media.
Bill Lampton earns points with me by delivering points clearly, and
that's just good communication.”
--Paul Johnson, VP, Sales and
Marketing, The Adams Companies
“Dr. Lampton provided an interactive and engaging
seminar: ‘Network Your Way to Profit & Prominence.’ The information he
provided to our small business owners was enlightening with resources
and new ideas they could implement immediately.
After hosting Dr .Lampton at this event, I now understand why he is
recognized for his expertise in communication, sales, customer service
and motivation.”
--Jean McCullough, Project Manager,
Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce
“My firm recently hired Bill to provide
"speech coaching" in preparation for our Annual Meeting. I
found Bill's advice and coaching to be extremely helpful. He
helped me build confidence in my public speaking skills
while also giving me targeted pointers about ways to relax,
slow down and connect more with the audience. I would
recommend Bill's coaching without reservation to anyone who
wants to upgrade their public speaking skills.”
--Jay Kilroy, Willis
Investment Counsel
“I've had the great pleasure
to hear a talk by Bill to a group of senior executives &
recommend him highly as a speaker, coach and author. Many in
the audience were fairly seasoned speakers and presenters,
but each person learned many great new lessons. Bill taught
each of us to leverage that inevitable twinge of
stage-fright (which simply means you care about your
audience and your message) to communicate with poise, power
and persuasion. Bill connected with each person, conveying
many valuable and highly actionable tips. During my career,
I've had the opportunity to ask many a great speaker and
leader to share thoughts at annual sales meetings. It's
definitely safe to say Bill is on my "go to" list to do so
again!”
--Jay McKenzie, Group
Publisher, Lifestyle & Shelter, Bonnier Corporation
“I had the opportunity to
attend one of Bill's seminars. Bill was extremely engaging

humor, a fantastic knack for timing, and a stellar and
commanding timbre, Bill provided the crowd with a great
lesson presented in an entertaining way.”
--Jason Petrovich,
Consultant, Palladin Solutions, LLC
“Bill presented at an
executive forum I attended recently and really impressed me
and the rest of the large audience with his command of the
material and his remarkable presentation skills. Bill has a
great message and delivers that message with great skill.”
--Walt Carter, Principal,
RM BATTLE, LLC
"When I saw the Championship
Communicator was going to be our keynote speaker, I thought
"well that should be a ringer!" - what professional
specializing in communication could fail to meet
expectations in conveying concepts to a group of law firm
managers? What I was not prepared for, and what brought me
into complete presence throughout his keynote address, was
feeling through his words and actions that Dr. Lampton had
complete appreciation for and interest in our profession. He
regularly hit unique issues and scenarios right on target,
which kept me engaged and anxious to hear what he had to say
about solutions. Dr. Lampton had obviously taken the time
and made a considerable effort to fully understand our
plights and current challenges, and presented a relevant and
thought provoking series of applications which we could all
take away and immediately apply. I am truly grateful for Dr.
Lampton agreeing to come to the "Far North" to put his ideas
forth to our Association - and I am personally inspired to
apply the same attention to bringing empathy and true
understanding to my office management and professional
coaching practices."
--Jan Whyte, Professional
Coach and Delegate, BCLMA Whistler Conference 2008

reinforcement that your message provided. Thank you so much
for an invigorating presentation."
--Charles R. Oglesby,
President and CEO, Nalley Automotive Group
"Your fast paced, interactive program on

enabled everyone to be part of the program."
--R. Stacy Webb, General
Manger, Forest Heights Country Club
“I was a part-time guest of Bob Stone’s at
the CenturyTel conference in Colorado. You did an excellent
job. I was amazed at your technique, style, and ability to
teach. It would be worth writing just to tell you that. As
it stands, however, I’ve recently had the opportunity to
share your contact information with two companies I work
with that are looking for this type of thing. I hope you
hear from them soon; I’ll be more than happy to continue to
send people your way. You did a wonderful job!”
--Matthew Lampros,

from business leaders across the state to customize his talk
'Creating a Customer Care Culture for Your Company' for the
pest control industry. It certainly paid off because the

meeting planner's point of view, Bill was very easy going
and pleasant to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend him
for your next speaking engagement!"

Planner, South Carolina Pest Control Association

successful event. He is both accessible and responsive. Bill
recently spoke to a group here and the results were
phenomenal. His presentation was exciting, entertaining and
educational. He immediately captured the group’s attention
and kept it. The feedback from the attendees was 100%
positive, several attendees mentioning that he was their
favorite speaker."
--Linda Busby, GCTS,
Education Specialist, Gwinnett Convention and Visitors
Bureau

"I was recently privileged to attend four
lectures given by Dr. Bill Lampton while enjoying a Caribbean
cruise aboard the fabulous Oceania Regatta. Dr. Lampton's
lectures covered motivation, communications, humor and
effective listening among other topics of general interest.
Each time his comments were inspiring, entertaining, thought
provoking, and motivational. It was immediately apparent to me
that I was listening to a man of high character, great
understanding, and a highly gifted and effective speaker. It
was a great positive experience for both my wife and me."

organizing conferences, I feel that Bill Lampton is one of the
very best speakers that I have ever heard. He reaches out to
the audience with a warmth and sincerity that is rare. Bill
has a way of making his material flow effortlessly while
keeping the attendees entertained and energized."
--Braden
Albert, President, HR Star Conference
"Bill Lampton never ceases
to amaze me with his gift for hitting the nail on the head
every time. He has such an astute sense for real customer
service, something we all inherently know is driven by two
simple fundamentals: our ability to communicate effectively
and professionally with our customers, and to lead a
motivated, inspired and enthusiastic team who WANT to care for
their customers. Bill does two things brilliantly. He teaches
us how to be more effective in our communications and he
always suggests new and innovative ways to motivate our teams.
I find it very rare to find a trainer and speaker who can talk
to both what the customer wants and expects and to what staff
need to produce the goods."
--Euan
McGlashan, General Manager and Managing Director, Barnsley
Gardens

chapter’s Philanthropy Day Conference. He delivered an

He’s sure to be an asset to your coming endeavors."

Professionals, Nevada
