THE GOOD WORD
Here’s what people are saying about working with Austin!
“Austin was phenomenal to work with! He met with our staff prior to his keynote to ensure he knew the needs of our FSL community and infused that into his presentation. His keynote was engaging, inspirational, and extremely relevant.”
– Hannah Rendon, The University of Tampa
“Austin was a beacon of light for our student leaders at our annual Leadership Conference. Many “ah-ha” moments were had by all as he discussed the importance of connection and authenticity in his ‘Ready. Set. Recruit.’ presentation. His enthusiasm and passion for recruitment provided great inspiration for our leaders as they learn and try to navigate this new normal.”
— Maggie Mueller, Alpha Rho Chi Professional Fraternity
“Austin was simultaneously moving and hilarious! I know he reignited the students' motivations and goals again that they may have forgotten due to the past couple of years of COVID. It was such a pleasure to have him come to our campus, and truly inspire them (or at the very least remind them) of their student leader potential and value their individual health in balancing with their extracurriculars. USF is very thankful to have had Austin share his wisdom and spark the community!”
— Geah Alyssandra DeRama, University of St. Francis
“Austin is a dynamic and engaging speaker and facilitator who ensures your event is enjoyable and thought-provoking for participants. Attendees always leave with something new, and even months after the presentation, I hear my students referencing content from the program. He made everything easy for me throughout the entire process, so I could enjoy the event along with my students!”
- Kristen Kardas, Director at Indiana State University
“Austin is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. He was very intentional about customizing his keynote for maximum impact with our Indiana State Greek leaders and challenged them to really consider the current state of their organizations. I would have no hesitations about inviting Austin back to campus in the future.”
— Abby Welch, Indiana State University
"I knew as soon as I found Austin online that he would be the perfect keynote speaker for our FSL. He was amazing to work with because he customized his keynote to include specific relevant issues to the FSL community at BW. His presentation style was natural, engaging, and entertaining. The audience was extremely impressed and really enjoyed the honest conversation we had. I would highly recommend bringing in Austin to speak because he leaves such an incredible impact on the audience that sparks ideas for change within the community. "
