Thanks for being so awesome Tyler!"

His positivity and energy are contagious, and I am certainly going to keep him top of mind for future team building sessions."

I plan to have Tyler back next year and will definitely refer him to my colleagues."

I had high grades given by my team and pass them along to Tyler."

"Last year we had Tyler Hayden and people are STILL talking about how great it was.

He was so motivating, funny, inspiring and interactive! We had a lot of people say it was the best part of our event!"
"Awesomeness wrapped up in a 6 foot plus body on a tricycle… listening and seeing is believing. Tyler engaged the members immensely and held that momentum from his first step onto the floor til his finish. He had the members up on their feet (some even dancing!), connected to each other through activity after activity, laughing throughout, and then he weaved in his learning objectives so seamlessly. Truly a remarkable human!"

Education, Association and Not-For-Profit Reviews
"You were not only able to achieve them with exacting detail, but you exceeded every members' expectations. Tyler, your professional skills far surpass your age."
"The event was a great success, and your presentation is still the topic of much discussion! At future events, you might consider issuing a 'choking hazard' in advance, since one of our guests laughed so hard she did just that. She has since recovered and is singing your praises — though in a rather hoarse voice."
"We recently had Tyler host our 2020 virtual convocation. We were hoping for an upbeat, jazzy feel for the evening and we got all that and more from Tyler. He understood the vibe we wanted, held nothing back, and was rewarded with 100% positive feedback. Tyler was easy to deal with, creative, funny and we had a blast! Would not hesitate to work with him again."
> "Tyler's participation in our event promoted teamwork and networking with a creative burst of energy. Our members were encouraged and entertained and the event was very memorable. We might not all be ready to jump out of an airplane, but we all jumped back into our workplaces with a fresh perspective."
"Our group comprised of extremely busy CEOs had high expectations — given their time is not a commodity often wasted. The result, from start to finish, exceeded expectations.... Good luck Tyler. I hope you never stop 'Livin' Life Large'!"
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Tyler, and his sessions were hilarious and really made a splash at our event."
"We hired Tyler as our Opening Keynote speaker for a conference of IT professionals. Leading up to the conference Tyler was responsive, professional, and committed to learning about his audience in order to put on a great session. On the morning of the conference, his engagement of attendees started long before his speech started; it was very impressive to see Tyler informally connect with people, which seemed to give him an engaged audience before he even started speaking. Tyler's session was fun, interactive, thought-provoking, and set a wonderful tone for the rest of the conference. There were things Tyler said and did in his opening keynote that were still impacting conversations and connections on the last day of the conference!"
"Thank you for an amazing professional development day for NBASBO! The high spirited activities intermixed with leadership nuggets was the perfect mix for our group! And of course your amazing assistant was just the cherry on top! Once again, thank you for your dynamic, enthusiastic, varied, hilarious, thoughtful presentations!"
"He delivers high-quality content through well-structured and interactive activities which highly motivate youth. For the past four years, Tyler has continued to appeal to his audience in various creative ways and the young people he has entertained always seek for more. He is a true model and communicates key messages for all ages."
"Tyler Hayden brought an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm to our Project Management Institute (PMI) Region 2 & 3 Leadership Conference. His dynamic and fun approach made his keynote speech both informative and highly entertaining. Tyler has a unique ability to connect with his audience and keep them engaged throughout his presentation. His message was relevant, timely and impactful. I would not hesitate to recommend Tyler to any organization looking for a dynamic and engaging speaker."
"Tyler's energy and optimism are contagious and no one is immune to his humour. Tyler brought his unique style to our AGM, creating an incredible afternoon of fun and learning. He quickly and effectively facilitated team activities that had everyone — including those resistant to participating — laughing and working together."
"Tyler's 150% explosive energy is the first thing we enjoyed about him. Then he took the stage with his hilarious stories, heartfelt reminders of what is important in life, and his ability to inspire audience members — and we loved him even more. Tyler made room in his schedule to contribute his professional stories to our post-secondary student session and offered an inspiring leadership based workshop. We enjoyed Tyler's contributions to our conference and would highly recommend him as a keynote speaker!"
"Tyler presented exactly what he guaranteed. The session was informative, motivational and entertaining! Tyler wrapped up our conference with a bang! Participants left energized and motivated to set their own goals and to go out there and get them! Well done, thank you Tyler!"
Manufacturing and Retail Sector Reviews
"Feedback from the participants was glowing for both presentations. 'Light it Up' was an exciting ice breaker for the crowd and really made sure participants met everyone at their table. Interestingly, I personally had even more feedback on Livin' Life Large, where people seemed to really connect with the messages of 'one little thing today,' 'be a little outside of your comfort zone,' and 'enthusiasm is caught, not taught.' A great kick off to our conference — Tyler, you really took the materials we provided, you seemed like one of us, and made both sessions OUR sessions."
"It was a very high energy, fun session that got everyone involved and laughing! Your technique of delivering the message of paradigms and change was unique and well demonstrated and one that our sales force will definitely remember. A truly high energy, entertaining way to deliver the message! Thank you."
"I had the opportunity to see Tyler present a few years ago and was fully impressed! Each time I've seen his presentation the audience was fully engaged and participating in a fun and educational way I have never seen before. Tyler's techniques of using interactive games and team building projects kept both a small and large group excited to participate. The games and participation skills were unique in which both our Sales reps and CEOs all found some useful key learnings to real-life problems. The topics were relative to today's issues on keeping staff motivated in a tough global competitive environment we all face today. Our company enjoyed his energy so much we hired him for another smaller team building event and was totally satisfied."
"Tyler was a huge hit at our event. The crowd loved him, so entertaining and the feedback today has been pouring in and very positive. His energy is definitely infectious and it did not feel like we were there with him for 2.5 hours — the time flew by, he had the crowd completely engaged the whole time!"
"Tyler's performance electrified our drivers. From start to finish he had the audience on the edge of their seats at full attention. Our drivers are still buzzing about how much fun they had and that his speech made the training day the best they have ever had."
"Tyler can definitely keep a crowd awake and interested with his amazing life adventures and his ability to put a spin on them which we can all relate to is quite unique. He connects with the audience using good humour and delivers positive energy in the room throughout his performance. I would recommend Tyler to speak at any function."
"We worked with Tyler for 4 years as our main stage host. Every year he reinvented himself, bringing amazing audience participation, engaging dialogue with keynoters, and a fun yet professional image to our event. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Tyler as your EMCEE and Keynote solution for your next event."
