“You were a smashing success! There have been so many comments about how much they enjoyed your presentation, but for me the best indication was that you had them participating, contributing ideas and, of course, the outright guffaws. I can’t remember a time when I’ve seen the entire group laughing!”

“Bill Stainton was terrific—funny, interesting, and entertaining. He provided fun facts regarding the Beatles and application of their success for us to use now.”

Barbara Hensley

“I was impressed with the comments our attendees made as they left the meeting. They were having fun discussing The Beatles and trivia, but most of the comments centered on the content of the presentation. I heard comments such as, ‘I was inspired to go back and see how effective my organization is in making these decisions,’ and ‘I’ve always known we need to have a vision, but this put it in a context that brought it home for me.’ I also heard comments such as, ‘Great speaker!,’ ‘Best meeting we’ve ever had!,’ and ‘This guy had my attention from start to finish!’ We can’t ask for more than that!”

Lynn Robbins

Lake Washington Human Resource Association

“Bill Stainton’s presentation exceeded our expectations! He packaged a high impact message into a compelling, entertaining, memorable hour that held the attention of our entire employee team. During the break immediately following Mr. Stainton’s program, the room was abuzz about the incredible accomplishments of the Beatles and how their 5 major decisions could be applied in our organization. His knowledge, ability to articulate, keen wit, and creativity truly set Bill apart from other motivational speakers we have used in the past.”

“I think lawyers must be one of the toughest crowds around when you are trying to entertain AND teach AND motivate. But Bill had them eating out of the palm of his hand!! We used Bill’s “The 5 Best Decisions the Beatles Ever Made” book and presentation as the jumping off point for our business planning meeting. Our entire agenda and meeting revolved around the five decisions–incorporating them into your practice and business plans. What a huge success!! Many, many attendees (yes, LAWYERS) said it was the best, most productive, and most motivational firm meeting they had ever attended. TOP OF THE CHARTS!! Thank you Bill!!!!”

“Imagine…bringing a Beatles expert to your company. It’s easy if you try. And I did. As a communications consultant, I’m retained to find speakers who have messages for my clients that their management and employees will benefit from and actually enjoy hearing. They’ve had their fill of motivational messages. They want somethingtruly unique. Bill Stainton’s The 5 Best Decisions The Beatles Ever Made…and Why You Should Make Them Too! presentation achieves that, and more. It’s interesting, intriguing, compelling, and engaging. You learn what the best in the business did…and how it also makes sense for your business. Plus, you’ll learn all over again why you so enjoy hearing Twist and Shout.”
