“Jermaine Davis tailored his remarks to our themes of hospitality and diversity, making it even more memorable for our employees. This event was highly valued by our faculty and staff and some of that enthusiasm is due to Jermaine’s energetic and entertaining comments.”
C.A. Paisley (Vice President for Human Resources, The College of St. Scholastica)

“Jermaine’s knowledge and professionalism was greatly appreciated by the conference participants, the conference planning committee, and the staff at the Office of Justice Programs. The conference was a huge success and his presentation made this result possible.”
Karin M. Ehlert (Conference Director, Minnesota Department of Public Safety)

“We had to turn students away from Jermaine’s first presentation as our theatre could not accommodate all that wanted to attend! I have heard nothing but positive feedback from faculty, staff and students. His mix of enthusiasm, knowledge, humor and experience left our students asking for more. In fact, our bookstore now stocks Jermaine’s book due to the many students who have requested it since his visit.”
Tom Williamson (Director of Student Life, Inver Hills Community College)

“Every time he speaks, Jermaine brings a new perspective to professional growth and development. His messages transcend the business world because I leave with practical tips to improve my personal life as well. I would recommend Jermaine’s presentations to every company. You will not regret it!”
Jennifer Marah (Administrative Specialist, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency)

“You are amazingly captivating! You were terrific and it shows you love your work!”
Barbara Hartropf (Office Manager, St. Cloud State University)

“I heard from a number of faculty and students that they really enjoyed Jermaine’s presentations. We have been asked when he is returning. This is the beginning of a long business relationship for us.”
John Graves (Minnesota State Community & Technical College, Detroit Lakes)

“You were able to become part of the facilitator team quickly and gain the trust of members of the team and leaders in the room at a remarkable pace. Many mangers and leaders requested additional information on how to maintain contact with you or to keep them updated when you return to Best Buy.”
Katie Ruberto (Diversity Project Manager, Best Buy)

“Jermaine once again outdid himself by providing everyone with outstanding leadership skills. His high energy and motivation inspired everyone that attended the workshop. Jermaine planted the seeds of leadership and the tools necessary to continue to grow as leaders.”
Roger Johnson (Director of Student Life, Lake Superior College)

“Jermaine has an incredible talent and ability to influence audiences in a positive way. He was well received by the students, staff, faculty, and administrators. His workshop set a tone that created an environment where everyone felt comfortable sharing their beliefs, values, and opinions.” 
Tamara Rice and Kristin Deckard (Purdue University)

“I will definitely ask him back. He did an excellent job relating personal experiences he has been through to those attending our Leadership Retreat.”
Frank Teach (Director of Student Activities, Wayne State College)

Shane P. McGoey, PhD (Assistant Director, Center for Student Involvement & Leadership, Slippery Rock University)

“Jermaine did a wonderful job of handling a very difficult topic with a challenging audience. He really hit the mark for us. Our students were enthusiastic in their response to his message. I witnessed a number of students that found their way up to Jermaine to thank him for the message that he brought.”
Erich Martens (Principal, Sauk Rapids-Rice High School)

“Jermaine trained groups of leaders on our campus and managed to inspire and motivate them beyond their existing enthusiasm and ambition. This was proven by the overwhelming number of students who lined up after the presentation to further talk with him and share their stories.”
Genna Carlson (Orientation Coordinator, Minnesota State University, Moorhead) 

“Thank you for the great presentation that you gave for our professional conference. We were delighted with your presentation. Again, thank you for your great presentation.”

Cricket Guyer (“Really Important People” Conference Planner)

“Your talks were the kickoff for our annual customer service excellence efforts and the staff response was phenomenal. The most negative comment from employees was they wanted to have the session run longer than the hour we allotted!”
Julie Jones (Director of Human Resources, Inver Hills Community College)

“Jermaine has a lot of energy and is very entertaining, as well as positive and uplifting. He is a very dynamic speaker and we will definitely bring him back.”
Joyce Traczyk (Director of Student Activities, Anoka Ramsey Community College)

“WOW! He surpassed my expectations and that of the planning committee. He is dependable, funny, knowledgeable, and easy to work with – all the qualities I look for in a professional presenter.”
Robert A. Meyer (Associate Director of Student Activities, Boise State University)

“As a public speaking instructor, I was duly impressed with Jermaine’s poise, confidence, and dynamic vocal and physical delivery. It is fun to watch Jermaine speak, and it’s impossible not to be completely enthralled by his performance. I hope many audiences can hear this motivating, dynamic speaker!”
Roberta Egersdorf (Faculty of Speech Communication, Fergus Falls Community & Technical College)

“I have seldom seen an individual so easily grab an audience’s attention and keep them captivated. I would recommend Jermaine to anyone who is looking for a meaningful educational, yet entertaining, presentation.”
Kaye Schendel (Student Activities Coordinator, University of Wisconsin, La Crosse)

“Your communication skills are excellent. Your workshops are well researched, adaptable to changing times and include an element of professional ethics, which is greatly needed in today’s work environment.”
