Audience & Client Feedback on Coach BE
1 / 12
If I had to describe these sessions and Coach to a friend I would have to begin with the fact that he is very in tune with our youth. He knows what he is talking about. He isn't the type of person who just speaks from knowledge gained from a book or class. He is real. Life experiences. He pays attention to people and genuinely gets them. He gives kids, teens, and even adults insight and inspiration that I can honestly say is rare. Very few have moved myself as well as my own children. My son attends these workshops and always comes home with so much knowledge and joy. He loves Coach. My hope is that more people would get to experience with him and I also hope that more of his programs are implemented in the schools and even with sports teams. He is definitely the type of role models our kids need in our community, today especially. (see talk report)

My son attended Coach BE'S sessions last year and this year. The sessions have resulted in a measured improvement with confidence, teamwork, social skills and time management. My son looks forward to attending, and has attended, every session. Coach BE gives the students opportunities to learn how to take ownership, accountability and responsibility in a way where students can relate, while in a safe environment. This allows for the students to understand the lessons in a way which can be applied, allowing for a more positive impact, and it shows. For 2 years in a row, these sessions have given my son lessons he can apply towards his future. I look forward to signing my child up next year! (see talk report)

If I had to describe this session to a friend or colleague, what I would say is that the presentation was really fun and informative with how I can manage this school year. As a senior it hit me because I’m stressing out about passing classes and getting credits so this presentation gave me hope that everything will turn out fine. I am glad I was able to hear this because it was an encouragement for me to not give up and complete those classes that are needed to graduate and also to not feel bad about myself when other achieve more then me. (see talk report)
Attendee
Your session was truly inspiring. It provided me with meaningful insights about myself, empowering me to believe in my abilities and strengthen my self-confidence. Recently, I’ve come to understand how precious life truly is and how quickly it can change. This presentation reinforced the importance of valuing my time and the time of others, motivating me to make a positive impact within my community. Thank you for such a powerful experience.

Throughout the rest of the day, I overheard my staff repeating some things Coach BE mentioned at the workshop. He definitely gave us some quotable moments that we can take with us in our daily work with our clients and one another. The activities he facilitated also reminded us how much we needed each other as a team. That no matter how many different personalities and approaches there are in the room, we still do better together! (see talk report)
Attendee
Bryan Stephans delivered an incredible talk on unlocking potential. I walked away with new tools to improve my mindset as a leader, as well as powerful reminders to keep inspiring others, sharpening my own blade, and thinking like a bamboo farmer — staying patient, consistent, and committed to growth over time. His message was motivating, practical, and truly impactful. - Jessie (Organizacion de Amigos) (see talk report)
Jessie Mae Dudley
Highly engaging and relational. I had numerous takeaways and enjoyed the straightforward information aligned with humor and care. I would highly recommend his sessions in the future. Inspire or retire was my favorite. As a Supervisor many of the phrases and mindsets were helpful for me as I’ve been lacking motivation to tap in with unmotivated, underperforming employees. Thank you! (see talk report)
Attendee
I would describe this session as extremely interactive and genuine. Coach BE brought an amazing energy to the room and kept the session lighthearted while also keeping it real. He was able to address such a diverse group of people and create the space for us to connect on common ground. It was equally entertaining and knowledgeable. I loved it! (see talk report)
Attendee
If I had to describe the session to a friend or colleague, I would say that it’s very impactful and inspiring. It’s cool to see how many kids come together that have never met or noticed each other before and build relationships and connections. His sessions provide information that you can apply to your life and really see a powerful impact. (see talk report)

Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Coach BE
What should I know about working with you?
I’m responsive, low-maintenance, and easy to work with. No middlemen or extra layers. It’s direct communication with me or my small team. My goal is to make your process smooth, clear, and stress-free from start to finish.
What's included in your fee?
My fee includes: a custom pre-event promotional video, a guided discovery call, a tailored keynote that aligns with your theme, and live on-stage delivery of survey results. I aim to give full value before, during, and after I step on stage.
Can you customize your presentation for our specific audience and event theme?
Absolutely. Every keynote is tailored through a guided discovery call where I learn your goals, theme, and audience vibe. I do my homework by researching your industry and culture, so the message lands real, relevant, and right on time for your people.
How do you engage audiences post-event?
I don't speak-and-run. I stay up for 2–4 hours after my keynote to answer questions, take photos, and engage in genuine conversations. If my schedule permits, I’ll stay for the entire day or even the next. Building relationships with folks beyond the stage is part of how I work.
My organization has a limited budget. Do you have any flexibility in your pricing?
I get it, budgets vary. My rates reflect the value I bring, but I’m open to negotiating within your budget. Let’s chat and see what fits. Who knows, I might even have a coupon or special rate tucked away for your organization!
Will I receive post-event materials (slides, recordings, handouts)?
Yes, once your post-event survey is completed, you'll automatically receive my presentation slides and additional resource materials tied to the session’s content. I keep it simple: feedback first, then full access to the tools that keep the message going.
What is your policy on event recordings and media rights?
I’m good with photos and recordings, no extra fees or restrictions. Please catch my good side and share any footage or pictures with me afterward. It helps me spread the message and saves me from hiring my own crew. Appreciate you in advance for that!
