motivational speaking

What do people say about Bo as a Motivational Speaker?

Attendee @ WLSFA, Keynotee speaker 2011:

“You were fantastic, entertaining, and real. You shared the true side of WLS. Absolutely the best speaker of the weekend. I enjoyed hearing your story.” 

Alex Brecher, Owner Bariatric Pal & Nutrition.com

"Bo is a long-time friend in the bariatric industry, and I have known him as a motivational speaker, vice president of operations at ObesityHelp, Inc., and a consultant for LAPBAND at Allergan and now Apollo Endosurgery. It is always a pleasure to attend his presentations and meet with him at obesity conferences. Through the years, he has provided me with advice and encouragement to help me keep my projects on the right track. He has innovative ideas and an untiring passion for providing much needed support to the entire bariatric industry".

Steve Cipolla, Director Links Sign Language and Interpreting Service 

(A Division of Goodwill)

In the environment that we worked in I counted on my staff to work independently and be proactive. Bo was consistently willing to go over and above the call of duty to see projects to completion. His energy level as Master of Ceremonies at our conferences translated into increased revenue for the entire sales department. I can highly recommend him.
