The words Inspirational and Motivational were created to describe Dale Smith Thomas. Her fire and spunk created a movement within our company that is unbelievably positive and fits perfectly with our mission statement “Be Exceptional”. Dale’s magnetic personality is like no other and our team left with tools that will take them to the next level both personally and professionally. I have never seen a presenter send a message that is so deeply received, put into action, and created such a lasting impression. Her message has no boundaries and can span any industry from real estate to healthcare and beyond.

“If you’re looking for a speaker to make your attendees laugh, cry and take action, Dale Smith Thomas is your woman! Dale really took the time to get to know our conference attendees, spent time with them before and after her keynote to make sure her content was personalized to our needs. She has continued to share her incredible gift with us beyond the weekend. Her message has continued to ring through our field and we’re no longer stressed – we’re blessed! If you’re a meeting planner — you’ll never deal with easier talent. Dale and her team made the whole process a breeze from start to finish. I can’t recommend Dale’s personality, message and professionalism enough!
