“Todd Kuckkahn is not the usual presenter; he has a special rapport with his group. Todd walks and talks to his audience, engaging them every step of the way. He’s entertaining and invigorating–plus you learn along the way. He develops an audience relationship first, then delivers his key points. He is a dynamic speaker and “leaves no one behind”.
- Sherri G.T.

“Todd taught a workshop on leadership at the Great Rivers Conference in Iowa. I really appreciated his style and the information he provided. He added a bit of humor to his presentation along with helping us to understand the power of knowing our own strengths. We got the opportunity to highlight ourselves, which I don’t think we ever take enough time to do. It was a very short workshop and we were still able to take a lot away from it. I recommend Todd and his workshops.”

– Dawn H

“I really appreciate your coaching and mentorship and I learned (and continue to learn) a tremendous amount from your University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point graduate leadership class. Many times we take classes that are just that, classes. This class provided real life and professional skills–tools–TTPʻs that I will be leveraging in my endeavors ahead.”

– Shawn M

"Todd’s enthusiasm for making people, teams, and companies better is contagious. He brings an energy to meetings and trainings that motivates and inspires. While steadfast in his research and delivery he remains flexible and is intuitive enough to know when to shift and lead the conversation to light bulb moments that create breakthroughs. Todd is exactly what we needed to take our programs to the next level!"

- Tracy Brewer,  Business Development Manager, Northcentral Technical College
