Testimonials:
"In August 2007, the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (ODMRDD) invited Bryan Grubb to address our Central Office staff at the William Greene Building in downtown Columbus.  After talking with Kim Miller at the Union County Board of Developmental Disabilities and working with him to arrange for Bryan's participation in our program we were thrilled to have Bryan address our group of more than 200 staff.  Bryan brought his sense of humor along, as well as two marvelous interpreters, and a helpful dog. He clearly showed that by combining his gift for humor with a good measure of persistence and timing, he had carved out a niche for himself in becoming what he had envisioned -- a truly motivational speaker.  We gave Bryan a standing ovation and all left feeling -- well -- quite motivated!"
- Sherry Steinman, ODMRDD

"Our staff really enjoyed Brian’s motivational presentation. He has a special ability to blend humor while sharing the inspirational story of his life and the challenges he has faced. Bryan exemplifies what people with disabilities can achieve when given a chance."
- Liz Prather, Richland Newhope Superintendent

"Mr. Grubb’s very presence and demeanor alone is motivational.  Yet his presentation given to the entire staff of the Union County Board of Developmental Disabilities in September of 2008 was incredibly more powerful. His personal challenges and stories laced with humor made for a very relaxed presentation yet left a profound and lasting impression on our team. His message reached everyone…he’s one of a kind!!"
- Mr. Kim Miller, Superintendent, Union County Board of Developmental Disabilities

"Bryan speaks from the heart and is very honest, motivational and encourages me to make a difference. He is one of the most inspiring speakers I have ever seen, is very informative and a true blessing. Bryan is an amazing speaker with a message that will inspire any audience to make a difference."
- Steve Oster, PAR Executive Director

"The Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities is proud to have met Mr. Bryan Grubb. We first experienced Bryan’s motivational speech at the annual PAR convention in 2007. We immediately sought to have Bryan as a guest speaker to our provider community in Delaware County. The response was tremendous. County Board staff, providers, families and self-advocates were inspired to reach beyond all expectation and be fearless to live life to the fullest. We’ve since learned Bryan is launching a marketing campaign to spread the word about his speaking. Beyond a doubt you will experience an exceptional time listening and learning from Mr. Bryan Grubb."
- Cheryl Copley-Cimino, Provider Coordinator

"Bryan Grubb presented on October 12, 2007 to the Warren County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Adult Services Staff consisting of around 100 people. Simply put, Mr. Grubb was the best presenter we had for an in-service in the past 5 years.  Mr. Grubb was a wonderful presenter and I would recommend Mr. Grubb to any MR/DD organization."
- Bill Caplinger, Adult Services Director, Warren County Board of MR/DD
