• Vice President of Sales and Business Development, Prestige AV & Creative Services

  “Dr. AZ is much more than a keynote speaker. As an AV professional, I have had the opportunity to see many keynote speakers. What I loved most about Dr. AZ is he is much more than an excellent speaker. He is a role model for self-leadership. Many speakers can put on a good show, but Dr. AZ’s contagious optimism allowed me to believe I could grow at a quantum level.”
