Speaking Endorsements

Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld is a class act and I am grateful to know him as a friend. I have so much respect for him as a man – he not only understands the things we both talk about, he has lived them through extreme stress and has contributed greatly to the lives of others as a result.

Dan's talk was brilliantly received by our sales team. His message really resonated with them all and it formed a big part of our discussion during our training meeting the next day. Our medical sales team works in a highly competitive environment where they are told "no" on a regular basis. Understanding how to navigate obstacles more effectively is key to their success. Many people changed their perspective that evening, understanding that having clear goals was not enough … they needed to commit to the pursuit of the goal rather than the goal itself to achieve success. Our team left with not just an inspiring story but with some key tools to enable them to achieve greater success.

Dan, I truly appreciate you taking the time to visit the Air Force Parachute Team. Your messages of resilience, team building, and skydiving instruction were well received and I continue to get positive feedback from attendees at all 3 events. You inspired my team, especially the Cadets, to build a more highly effective team. I look forward to you and the Wings of Blue working closely together in the future.

Thank you so much for speaking at our regional conference and sharing your amazing life experiences and insights on resilience and building strong teams. Undoubtedly, your talk was applicable to our corporate world, to the challenges our clients face in Risk Management, and aligned with our partnership approach and aim to safeguard businesses in the long-run.

Furthermore, you were able to create a human connection and inspired everyone in the audience. I was delighted to perceive the flow of emotions while you were telling your story, shifting from awe to surprise, and ending with smiles and even some laughs.

You finely conveyed our messages with your story and were an excellent door-opener for truthful dialogue among participants. I am sure many left that day with some interesting food for thought!

A huge round of applause for bringing in Dan!! He was a phenom! Very powerful personal story and also wove in the women aspect very eloquently.

It was a mesmerizing experience listening to Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld describe his passion-turned-career in skydiving. Not only did he pull us into the story, but he made us feel the emotions of the experience. At times, we forgot to breathe - holding our breath until the outcome was described, and then we would remember to let it out and take another breath.

Brodsky-Chenfeld's story about pursuing excellence in his sport, often against all odds, was inspiring and it motivated us to think about the degree to which we pursue our dreams.

I was privileged to know Dan in the mid to late 80's when he owned the Green County Sport Parachute Club. He was a leader, coach and great inspiration then. I recently asked Dan to speak to our company at our annual Summit. He was perfect! Dan's message was spot-on and mesmerized the entire group. It was funny, heartfelt, and tragic all at the same time.

Dan connected regarding goal setting, commitment, overcoming obstacles and what it really means to be on a team. Dan's story is one that everyone can learn from and apply in their business and personal lives. I highly recommend Dan's book and encourage people to hear him tell his story. It's a game changer!

On behalf of the CNO Strategic Studies Group, thank you for sharing your personal experience and insights regarding the building of high-performance teams. Your comments about recognizing talent and potential, establishing goals and developing team members through focused training were compelling. We found your candid thoughts on risk management and incremental training in professional skydiving to be useful to our future consideration of workforce readiness in the Navy.

Your unique personal perspectives were interesting and timely as we begin our innovation process. You have directly and positively impacted our viewpoints for future concepts.

It was our true pleasure to meet you and have you be a part of our conference. Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation. Your presentation was inspiring and dynamic, and you found the keys to weave the story of your rich life experience and passion in skydiving and make it relevant to our work in Healing Touch.

I heard so many comments from people about how they enjoyed your talk and enjoyed meeting you. You brought us new insights about working as a team, and you packaged it so that people listened!! We are most grateful.

If you've never met Dan "BC" then it is your loss. He is a legend in the sport of skydiving and a phenomenal inspirational speaker. He carries with himself an abundance of excitement and charisma that cannot be ignored.

I have been on the Golden Knights competition team since 2004. There is no other person in skydiving that I have witnessed the Golden Knights speak so highly of or hold in such high regard. Like all other skydivers, we look up to him. He is the epitome of a competition skydiver. From his skill to his classiness. My 8 way jump with Dan BC will be one of my favorite and most memorable jumps of all time. Thank you Sir!

I have had the great pleasure of hearing Dan speak publicly on two occasions over the past year. I really did not know his story prior to the first engagement, but I soon learned that he is an exceptional man. His message and his story was outstanding. I was riveted during each of his talks, and I found his passion and enthusiasm to be infectious. He has overcome significant obstacles and achieved results that most people can hardly imagine achieving. I have read his book and found it to be an excellent read. I highly recommend the book and any opportunity to hear Dan tell his story. It is truly inspiring.

Our little company was privileged to get to spend time and get to know Dan while he presented to our executive team. Over the years I too have spoken to large groups, and been in attendance at other functions, to hear some simply amazing speakers. Dan's candid, high spirited, approach and message was one of the best I have ever been present for. The nearly one hour presentation felt like 10 minutes. I personally could have sat for another hour continuing to learn from this amazing man. The natural and sincere approach to his message was truly an honor to be witness to.

Thank you very much for your time and your words of wisdom. Your talk was perfect! It highlighted the importance of building a team, committing to the pursuit of a goal, and being ready to take on any obstacles. Our students were inspired and motivated to start our new academic year as they pursue their job search, which often can feel discouraging.

Thanks so much for attending and speaking to our group. I heard great feedback on your message. We were extremely impressed with the connections you made between the skydiving and agriculture industries. You have an inspiring life story that perfectly wrapped up a successful couple of days.

Dan spoke at one of our sales meetings. His message was about setting goals, overcoming obstacles through perseverance and working as a team. He speaks from the heart regarding his unbelievable journey. The feedback provided by the attendees was very positive, and most importantly, they connected Dan's message to our sales strategy.

Dan writes about his life competing to win the world skydiving championship. Along the way he gets fleeced by his first business partner, almost flunks out of college as a theater major, nearly dies in a skydiving plane crash that kills his "little brother", and then not only recovers but goes on to achieve his ultimate goal. His self-deprecating humor keeps the book fun without confusing the message. "Above All Else" is an outstanding addition to this genre. Instead of asking why, Brodsky-Chenfeld asks how. His book and presentation hold the answers to that question.

Thank you so much Dan!! I really appreciate you taking two days out of your schedule to come speak to our team in Montana. Your inspirational message resonated in such a positive way with everyone I've spoken with - it couldn't have come at a better time.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your story. Numerous folks have engaged me to discuss how much they enjoyed your presentation. The presentation was perfect as it was well received by the unique, target audience.

Dan's story is one that every human being needs to read. It's about the power of the human spirit and its ability to overcome seemingly impossible odds. This is a story that everyone can benefit from reading.

I know and admire Dan as a man of deep integrity. His heart-felt story of courage and love inspires me.

Your presentation, examples and ideas made true connections while also entertaining our participants. We will want to bring you back to speak with a variety of different groups.

Whether it's overcoming a phobia, transcending physical limitations, or going for the gold in sports or your vocation, let Dan's love of life and principles help you align with success.

Dan is the most inspirational coach I've ever worked with.

Dan has had a fascinating life and his experiences have given him a unique ability to ensure he gets the best out of individuals and teams.

I wish I had the chance to hear Dan speak and read his book earlier in my life. But it's never too late!

What I learned from Dan not only took me and my team to the very top of our sport, it has also been life-changing. I regularly find myself in business or challenging personal situations with Dan BC's words ringing in my ears.

Dan's life story is amazing. The discipline and focus that he applied to meet his goals will inspire anyone to achieve the individual goals in their lives.
