Shane Feldman Reviews

  • Shane Feldman has now keynoted 4 conferences for PwC. His sessions are consistently rated one of the best and people can't stop talking about him. Shane provides a framework for building better relationships internally and externally. His research and insights were both inspiring and actionable, and his energy is exactly what we needed to close out the conference. Our goal was twofold: increase employee engagement; provide our people with the soft skills to work together better. With a high volume of internal change (new initiatives, new processes, new leadership, new requirements for hybrid teams) we needed a speaker who was not only an expert on relationship building and team performance, but also one with experience in change management. We could not have dreamed of a better fit than Shane Feldman. He worked hard to customize his keynotes so they were a perfect fit for our people and objectives. His stories are captivating, his energy is contagious, and his strategies and frameworks have left a huge impact at the firm. Thank you so much Shane, I very much look forward to working with you again!
