TESTIMONIALS
I would highly recommend Gary as an addition to whatever event you are planning. He delivers inspiration and motivation while leaving you with the feeling that you have something tangible to take from his presentation and apply to your life today. His ability to present practical and useful information to his audience, while maintaining a level of entertainment was outstanding. If you’re tired of the same psychobabble that has become so common in today’s keynote speeches, and you’re looking for someone with the real-world experience that has faced adversity and overcome, then you’ll not be disappointed with Gary Barnes.

I had the pleasure of sitting in on Gary Barnes’s presentation The Secret to Winning Through Adversity. While working for the national headache foundation, the stories that are most touching are those of people who refuse to lose. I would definitely recommend this presentation.
