We originally invited Israel to speak to our young adults as part of our Executive Guest Speaker Series at Year Up Chicago, a workforce development program for young adults 18-24. We thought he’d be a great fit because of his leadership, speaking skills, and professional experience.

We knew his presentation style and messaging would be an ideal fit for our program and he exceeded our expectations by really relating to his audience. He was able to tailor his content to our students and spoke from the heart through real-world experiences, which allowed him to truly connect with the young adults in our program. Our staff and students repeatedly share with me how much they enjoyed his speech and the immediate impact it has had on them. Since his first speaking engagement, we’ve invite Israel back to speak to every class of young adults that comes to Year Up Chicago. If I had to describe Israel’s presentation in a few words, He is absolutely inspiring, engaging, and relatable.

Israel spoke to a group of my 8th-12th grade students about what it takes to pursue achieve their dreams, and he was outstanding. He came into the presentation well-prepared and well-researched, and was able to connect our school’s culture and values to his message, reinforcing the importance of upholding those values both in school and beyond.

Israel knew exactly how to keep the students interested in what he was saying, and they responded by engaging him in a discussion about how to turn his motivational message into practical skills for their futures. By sharing his personal experiences, he was able to relate to the students in a way that made them think “This guy faced some challenges, but he worked hard to get where he is today; if he can do it, I can too.” Israel is smart, honest, and inspiring, and I hope to bring him back to speak to more of my students in the future!

Israel was super easy to work with and adapted his presentation to meet the needs of our event and audience. He took the core values of connecting with people and applied them to the business world, which gave our audience practical takeaways that could be put into practice immediately.

His presentation skills and delivery kept the audience engaged, laughing and learning. His authenticity made it easy for our audience to engage with him before, during and after his keynote. The only regret we had was not having enough time for him to do his entire workshop. We’re looking forward to working with him in the future as he provides experience and insight into how people communicate with each other, which is a valuable resource to many business and sales professionals.

I would highly recommend Israel Greene as a speaker at any engagement. I am a school counselor and chose to have Israel speak to high school students in grades 9-11. He tailored his speech to fit in with things happening at our school, which made it even more relevant for our students.

It is often difficult to maintain teenagers attention, but Israel was able to do so. He was very professional and spoke eloquently. He was serious, but also incorporated humor into the presentation. He had great energy, engaged the students, and motivated them to reach their full potentials. I heard nothing but positive feedback from my students and faculty regarding Israel after the presentation.

In a kick off session for a new Special Interest Group for our young professional members, our Association could not have asked for a better speaker. Greene was able to relate to the audience and drive home the fact that leadership isn’t restricted to the management team, and extremely important message for this group of our emerging leaders.

I would not hesitate to invite Greene back to address additional groups within the Association, and look forward to doing just that

Israel was absolutely beyond professional and terrific to work with! He has a great presence as a speaker, and is able to grab the audience’s attention and keep them fully engaged. We felt very lucky to have him presenting to our group of millennial professionals.

His presentation was not only filled with excellent information and take-a-ways, but extremely well organized and highly motivational. He was confident and knows the strength of his subject matter very well, making of him an intelligent and charismatic storyteller. We look forward to booking him for future events and would recommend him as a valuable contributor to any event.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Israel Greene. He took the time to meet with me prior to our event to make sure he understood the audience and our association. Because of this, he was able to tailor his presentation to our needs.

His topic for our IAAP Western Great Lakes Branch Event was “Everyone Communicates Few Connect.” On the day of the event, Israel arrived early, connected with the attendees, and provided an engaging and entertaining educational presentation.

Israel’s presentation at the AA-ISP Leadership Summit in Chicago was very inspirational! It explained to me in simple steps how to better connect with others.

In the digital age it is even more important to constantly improve your interpersonal skills. I would highly recommend to book Israel if you are in need of a motivational speaker for your company.
