A truly outstanding speaker and leader! I have had the privilege of hearing Shep at Honor Flight summits and events, veteran reunions, and military ceremonies. He is a master storyteller who educates and inspires audiences through his vivid illustrations and descriptive word pictures. His remarks are always compelling and riveting, and standing ovations are common at his presentations. His stellar leadership and organizational skills have been critical to helping develop effective strategies for Honor Flight and multiple organizations. His applications to life and leadership will benefit your team and their efforts!

Shep is an engaging and dynamic speaker! Drawing from his military leadership experiences and real-life examples, he intuitively fused his presentation and materials to our construction industry leaders at our Rally Point Leadership weekend. Shep delivered a flawless presentation on training, managing risk, importance of debriefing, and how to be an organization of continuous improvement. Using presentations, videos and group exercises, his content was impactful, engaging, and compelling. His presentation feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and his training made a lasting impact on our work culture and operations. I highly recommend him to your team.

Shep is an outstanding speaker and an absolute pleasure to work with! We’ve had Shep speak three times in person or via Zoom and will continue to bring him back in the future. His wide and varied experiences from leadership at sea, to transitioning from the military, or lessons from military history, inspire individuals both personally and as a team. He has the unique ability to connect to individuals and audiences on a personal level regardless of their background. If you are looking to improve your team’s effectiveness or build leaders, I highly recommend him.
