The next day people incorporated learning's from Kevin into their presentation." - Eli Lilly I have found the programs run by Kevin O’Connor to be insightful and fun. He individualizes his coaching strategies to fit the development needs of each participant. Kevin’s style allows everyone to build from their strength while making adjustments to derive additional impact. Importantly, I have found his programs to be a great team-building exercise for my teams of clinicians. - Onyx Pharmaceuticals We liked Kevin so much, we are going to ask him back in 2009! He was so engaging, very interactive with my physicians and extremely well-prepared. He was very receptive to my ideas for weaving in various messages and he did it with ease. You are in for a real treat! - Physician Services Covenant Health Knoxville, TN Kevin O’Connor understands doctors. Kevin has helped me to help physician executives achieve greater levels of leadership, awareness, and mission. The business of medicine is a business, but the business of leadership is very much akin to the art of medicine, treating each individual with respect and care as well as with expectation and accountability. Kevin knows how to talk to doctors. In my 50 years in medicine, Kevin is an individual who comes closest to my vision of the ultimate physician executive teacher, treating doctors with care, respect, expectation, and accountability. Kevin cares deeply for the role of the emerging physician executive and the doctors listen to him. - OhioHealth Columbus, OH Kevin O’Connor is one of the most gifted presenters I’ve ever experienced - the most gifted talking about topics relating to disability. He is insightful, inspirational, humorous, and poignant. I have had the pleasure of witnessing five or six of his presentations over the course of time. They were all different which amazed me, but equally fabulous. He captures an audience in a way I’ve not seen others do. I heartily recommend Kevin for any organization that wants a first rate motivational speaker. - American Foundation for the Blind New York City, NY
