TESTIMONIALS

" Mr. Jim Gentil recently spoke at the bi-annual DADS All-Staff Conference in Abilene, Texas. In fact, not only did “Mr. Positive” speak, he wowed the crowd with amazing feats of magic, and captured their interest and imagination with his message. This last accomplishment was not easy, as Jim was invited to be the closing speaker at the end of the two-day conference. You might expect that folks were winding down, fidgeting and looking at their watches to see when they might start their trip home, but that was certainly not the case. Jim kept everyone’s attention from start to finish with his stories, his insight and his wit".  

Mindy Wright, Supervisor

The feedback I have received today from your presentation has truly been wonderful! We appreciate your time yesterday and can’t tell you how much we enjoyed listening to you – and, watching your magic tricks. We’ve never had so many positive comments on a guest speaker before. Again, thank you – our team truly was in need of some positive thinking – -

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim Gentil for several years. He had been involved in the Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce as a volunteer, Board member and speaker long before I began working here. I asked him to speak at our March luncheon in 2006, after the standing ovation, I knew we had found a great individual to speak and educate our members. I cannot even begin to put into words the flood of emails, phone calls and comments I received from attendees about how delightful, inspiring and absolutely hysterical Mr. Positive is.We absolutely do not go without having Jim as the emcee for our annual Awards Banquet and continue to request him to speak at one of our monthly luncheons. The standing ovations, comments, phone calls and emails have not slowed. He is truly amazing .If you have the opportunity to bring Jim to your city,  you will be counting the days until you can get him back in front of your membership, clients, customers or employees".

Laura Mitchell, President,
