"Clint’s
presentation was entertaining and motivating from beginning
to end. His energetic delivery, combined with the real life
examples
he incorporated, captivated the audience throughout.
Clint shared with
us his outlook on life and his approach of striving
for excellence through
dedication to a sport or activity and the
importance of making the decision
to take the first step."
"He
presented personal examples of his journey on the path to mastering
the art of karate. The demonstrations of his smooth but
complex
maneuvers
not only established his credibility but were also a
testament to the full
body harmonization which daily practice and self
discipline can generate.
Clint is a very natural and
inspiring speaker who is a pleasure to listen to."
Alan Mallory, Adventurer Who Climbed Mt. Everest (2008)
"Clint is able to weave a story, build
anticipation, and reveal the
climax in
a manner that is both skilled and inspirational. As
I watch
and listen to
Clint speak I know he has honed and crafted his speaking
skills like an
accomplished world class athlete would with excellence
and high
expectations. No wonder since Clint is a karate world
champion."
"He speaks with great passion and enthusiasm. Clint is a
powerful, confident and excellent motivational speaker."
Angela Bailey, 1984 Olympic Silver Medalist, Lawyer &
Motivational Speaker
"It was amazing how I learned within each of
us, there is a champion
and in order for us to access the champion within us, we simply need
to expand our horizon.
I have had so many tips from this workshop
that I know I'm leaving a better person because there are so many
things that I have learned that I can do to expand my
comfort zone."
Hepta Deslandes, Teacher, Lester B. Pearson School Board
"Clint Cora is a
dynamic speaker. The success he has garnered in sports
and in
business comes through clearly in his content and his delivery of an
address. We have had the pleasure of hearing him on three
occasions, and
all three times have been impressed by his passion and
commitment to
excellence in the realm of public-speaking and
leadership. We
highly
recommend Clint and are confident his
contribution as a speaker will
educate and motivate your listeners in a
way that will leave
a lasting positive impression."
Vincent J. Beyer, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.
"You amazed us with your motivational
speech. Use of props was
very
effective. I also thought that
you made important points that
were
relevant to everyone, irrespective of background or
experience.
They were broken down simply and into small steps
that everyone
could relate to and apply. We want to put your messages into
action."
Leena Milton, Region of Peel, Ontario
"I just wanted to drop a few words regarding
your excellent presentation
given today at the City Of Mississauga. I
was able to relate to your
comment regarding Asian minorities in
today's society as I, myself,
am Chinese Canadian. It's very refreshing
to see an individual as
yourself stand up, speak loudly, eloquently,
and effectively deliver
a powerful presentation such as today's!"
"Our society's stereotypes do not usually empower and promote Asians
as
powerful and motivational icons.
However, I believe the work
you
are
doing is helping to eliminate that stereotype and I give you
kudos
in that regards! I look forward
to reading your book. Thank
you for the
inspirational
words and again, I enjoyed attending your presentation!"
David Soo, Transportation & Works, City of Mississauga
"Your presentation 'Kick Down Diversity Barriers For Success'
was extremely well received by our members. It
presented a
new aspect in both work and life that had not been spoken
about before. Exceeding expectations, it gave several members
something to think about and something that they had not
thought of adding or emphasizing."
Frances McKenzie, Speakers Coordinator, Happen Executive Networking
"Your presentation was very insightful, informative and highly
motivating.
We were moved by your passion, enthusiasm and the interactive
activities by which you were able to engage the group and
keep us focused throughout the session."
Claudette Miller, Manager, Business
Services Branch, Ontario Government
"Clint, thank you for being our Keynote
Speaker at our Annual General
Meeting in January 2010. Our AGM turnout is very high and it is an
extremely important time of year where we update the membership with
regards to what the Board of Directors have done the past 12 months.
Given the importance of this meeting it is essential that we have an
interesting and stimulating speaker who can hold the audience’s
attention,
as the AGM tends to be longer than our usual monthly events."
"Your presentation 'Kick Down Diversity
Barriers for Business and
Personal Success' was excellent and was very well received. It was a
thought provoking and captivating presentation that provided a fresh
perspective on the subject. Your dynamic
delivery spiced by a bit of
humor kept the audience engaged."
"We were impressed by your passion and
enthusiasm and found your talk
quite inspirational. We are confident that the audience went home with
new
ideas and strategies to develop and apply their diversity skills both
at work
and in their personal lives.
Once again, thank you very much for your
interesting and enthusiastic presentation."
Kim Voisin, CHRP,
President,
HR Professional Assoc. of West Toronto
"Thank you very much for an awesome
presentation. Everyone in
the
audience is still singing your praises! Your motivational
presentation
was very timely as our group needed a boost to keep their
spirits up.
The practical concepts and props shared are easy
to remember and
apply, both professionally and from a personal
perspective."
"You are a great motivator and I was captivated by your enthusiasm
and energy. Our people could not help talking about you
following
your presentation. Once
again, the knowledge, information and
enthusiasm you shared really had an impact on group
and you left them
wanting more."
Ray Lim, Director of Regulatory Affairs, Roberts Pharmaceuticals
"We had the
pleasure of having Mr. Clint Cora join our Kraft Town Hall
meeting. Clint has shared with us a very inspirational story
on
expanding
one's comfort zone. The speech was extremely well received by
our entire
Customer Supply Chain group. Clint was very inspiring and
convincing.
Clint surely did captivate our attention and inspired a lot
of us to be better
people. I
would highly recommend him to any
organization that
is looking for a motivational speaker."
Alice Bran, Customer Supply Chain Team Leader, Kraft
Canada
"My name is
Markus Witte. I work at the Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg
in Germany. Clint gave a great speech with the subject about
expanding
your personal comfort zone. He recommended that in
order to improve
one’s personal skills one should expand one’s comfort
zone – in which
you feel comfortable – at a rate of 10 % a week. His
body language is
excellent, which is
not surprising, because he is world champion in karate.
I
think, he is able to convince people of this talent on stages
worldwide. He was convincing not only by the content of his
speech but also by his charisma.”
Markus Witte, Corporate Lawyer, Rundfunk
Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany
"I found Clint's speech very motivational
and energizing. His display
of martial arts, and his story about the one-legged skier,
masterfully
illustrated the points about how to keep on-track with life goals
and
ambitions.
I would definitely love to hear more presentations
from this
accomplished speaker!"
Donna Butterworth-Popert, KPMG, Toronto
"This motivational speech was incredibly
well presented. Clint captured
the attention of the audience immediately and held their attention for
the entire speech. The speech had great structure, was
well-paced and
Clint's speaking voice was authoritative, yet pleasant. The
message to
expand your comfort zone was easy to relate to. Using
examples of
others who have expanded their own comfort zones, and illustrating
how easy it would be to take those small steps necessary to expand
our own comfort zones, left the audience inspired and motivated."
Elaine M. McLean, HJA Brown Education Ctr, Peel District
School Board
"You got the audience involved and your
presentation
was very
clear.
You inspired and motivated us."
Theresa Hawco, President, The Touch 10
"Clint Cora is a true champion of his own
life, most importantly he
will
inspire you to find the champion in you
and awaken the giant
within you.
His practical approach to success is
very profound and
easy to follow.
Terrific speaker, I would encourage
everyone to hear
from
our
life champion, Clint Cora, and you will be
the next!"
Steven Wang, Systems Engineer, Honeywell
"A
very thoughtful provoking speech with periodic breaks
of humor too!
Content and fun makes this great speech."
Rukshana Sarkari, Edward Jones Investments
"I liked your use of visual aids.
The martial arts demonstration was
a great addition to your speech and
added emphasis on your points."
Tiffany Chin, Account Mgr, Business Development Bank of Canada
"
I loved the very active form of communication
- working with
the
bo staff (martial arts weapon), image of the ski boot. I liked
the
reinforcement of
setting goals and breaking them down to
tasks.
The
change of 10% rule is excellent idea."
Sandra Waldron, Bantrel, Mississauga
"Clint Cora's keynote motivational
presentation was excellent and beautifully
delivered. Clint's engaging
style as a presenter captured both the hearts
and minds of those in the
audience. The content of the presentation was
thought-provoking and
encouraging. His dynamic delivery kept everyone
alert and
involved.
Clint
presented his real life experiences with sincerity
and a touch of
humour in such a manner that kept me and everyone else
who attended
glued to his every word. His
ability to deliver his message
in such an
entertaining manner was well received by everyone."
Dr. Holly Hampton, PhD, PEng, Division Manager, Carillion Canada Inc.
"From
the moment Clint uttered his first word, we were engaged. His
speech on 'challenging yourself' to grow was very inspirational and
topical with the New Year almost upon us.
Clint's use of
simple
examples
made even the most challenging self-improvement seem possible.
He
had
some inspiring stories to tell. I look forward to
hearing him speak again."
Stephen Thoms, KPMG, Toronto
"This was a wonderful keynote speech.
The speech not only
inspired us to be life champions, but also told us how to do it."
Marcus Huang, Office of the Corporate Chief Technology Officer
(Ontario)
"I
wanted to thank you again for your excellent presentation Monday
evening. You did an outstanding job on getting our attention and
holding it for the entire talk. Everybody enjoyed it and I believe your
message hit home with and will inspire some of our people to push out
of their comfort zones and broaden their horizons and accomplishments."
"Clint, you have a valuable message, presented in a dramatic and
interesting way. I hope you are able to spread it to as many people
as possible and particularly to our young people.
Keep up
your
excellent work! Should I ever have the opportunity to
recommend you
and your presentation to
others, rest assured that I will."
Doug McLeod, Dundee Securities Corporation, Burlington, Ontario
"It was very
evident throughout that you are a very energetic speaker
who puts
forward his ideas with a great deal of passion and verve. You
certainly captivated us, particularly with the story of the amputee
skier
and your speculation of what his journey must have been like to
get to the
point of being able to ski down double black diamond
runs. You expertly
used this story as the basis for inspiring
us to move out of comfort
zones to achieve our goals."
"Your
own personal experiences only served to enhance your speech
and to
bridge the main aspects of our story. We all found your
martial arts
display to be very entertaining and were very impressed
with how it tied into
the body of your speech. Your use of
visuals and spoken word certainly
clarified the intent of your message,
that being that self improvement
doesn't happen all at once but in
small increments."
"Overall, we found your speech to be very inspirational.
Since
you spoke
to our group, a number of our team members have been
motivated
to apply your teachings in both their personal and
professional lives.
You are an excellent motivational level
speaker and would
highly recommend you to other
organizations."
Alan Parisi, Customer Service Account Manager, Nortel
Networks
"The
presentation really motivated me, made me feel stronger
in my goals now. Thank you so
much."
Michael Wei, Student, TAIE Institute, Toronto
"Your passion, your ideas were quite
impressive and
your
presentation helped me a lot. As
an Asian,
I really feel more proud of myself."
Jenny Zhu, Student, Imperial College, Toronto
"It was interesting, something different
from before.
Uplifting
and motivational ... Clint's speech motivates me to take
action, do it now."
Christopher Imecs, Manager, Employment Services, Toronto
""Clint Cora recently addressed our group on how to 'Kick Down Diversity
Barriers'. I had read about workplace diversity, however Clint presented
this topic in a brand new way. This allowed me to approach this subject
from a totally different perspective. Through a practical group exercise,
Clint made us aware that we are all diverse in some way, despite our
ethnicity or background. Discovering common ground, whether it’s on
a personal or business level, is what needs to be accomplished."
"Clint has a warm and honest approach to making diversity a positive
issue. Drawing much from his personal experience, Clint presents this topic
in a light and positive manner. On behalf of the Toronto Chapter of the
International Association of Administrative Professionals, I greatly thank
Clint Cora for sharing his unique perspective on diversity."
Marilyn Barton, President Toronto Chapter, IAAP
"This
speech reminded me that there are so many important
things to do. It was amazing, a
really motivated speech."
Feng Shi, Student, TAIE Institute, Toronto
"His message is
clear: If he was able to overcome
adversity and become
a Life
Champion, so can you. Get this book and you
will awaken the
Life
Champion in you! His keynote based on his book
is equally
impressive.
I saw such a high level of sincerity, warmth, vocal
variety, good gestures,
and speech content that I soon realized all the effort he had put into
becoming a motivational speaker had come to fruition.
If you’re
looking for an inspiring and entertaining speaker,
whether for a
keynote or something else, then I highly recommend you
consider Clint Cora."
Prakash Kabe, PMP, Project Manager, Mississauga, ON
"The action video part was very special.
I liked how he
let everyone join in during his speech. I
learned
how to
achieve my goals step by step."
Junqian Zhang, Student, Imperial College, Toronto
"Not too long ago, I met Clint Cora, World
Karate Champion, writer and
speaker, in a seminar. As I heard his speech, I realized his
teaching
was
amazing. I really
enjoyed the way Clint inspired the audience with so
much wisdom and
down-to-earth tips and ideas. I immediately bought his
book 'The Life Champion In You' where he teaches us how to overcome
challenges and achieve enormous success. I could not stop
reading his
book until the end. I actually finished reading it the same
day."
"His
expanding the comfort zone technique, quotes and real life stories
have helped me to understand my life better and as I applied his ideas,
I
realized they work really well. The
technique of expanding the comfort
zone really
works. Thank you Clint for sharing your wisdom."
