Testimonials for Dr Wesley Payne McClendon

Wesley had one of my favourite presentations. Unfortunately he was interrupted a lot by the next speaker (which he handled masterfully). His ROI presentation should be mandatory viewing for all L&D professionals. Wesley had one of the best presentations of the conference. He spoke fantastically, & shared some really useful, practical information.

Wesley was only scheduled to facilitate a leadership session for one day. Instead, Wesley stayed an extra day, met with me and gave me an indepth scorecard for each new leader.

Every time Wesley has spoken at one of our events, he has been extremely well received by our audiences, often being one of the top ranked speakers. Wesley is very engaging, informative and a fantastic presenter. In the lead up to the event, Wesley is a delight to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend Wesley for your next event.
