Each year, Bruce speaks to thousands of people. Here’s what people are saying:
What I loved most about Bruce’s talk at the National Caregiving Conference was how he took experiences that many Family Caregivers would think are miserable and turn them into something beautiful & positive. Bruce’s mindset of gratitude, abundance, & resiliency was refreshing to hear. He provided several examples of how a small tweak in your perspective can really make a huge impact on your health & happiness.
-Elizabeth Miller, Happy Healthy Caregiver
Bruce is one of the most sincere speakers I know, allowing him to connect with his audience and meaningfully and positively impact their lives.
-Lance Robertson, Guidehouse, Former State Aging Director & Assistant Secretary for Aging, United States
Bruce is a gifted thinker, writer, and speaker. He is one of the most skilled communicators I know. I have been a part of many of his meetings and lectures and it is evident that he is well prepared and has passion for what he studies and communicates to people.
-Jason Jones, Organizational Psychologist, Author, Speaker
As our keynote speaker, Bruce lit up the room and set the perfect tone for our daylong conference. We had caregivers of all types and at all stages of their own caregiving journeys, and yet Bruce was able to pull us all together mood-wise with his heartfelt and hopeful message. I feel certain his ability to share authentically helped us all to have a warm and healing day.
Debbie Howard, Founder, Aging Matters International; Co-organizer, Regional Caregiving Conference Southwest
Bruce has the most amazing ability to provide life-impacting concepts in a manner suitable to any audience. His capacity to engage caregivers and relate to them almost immediately offers a truly unique experience and one that benefits my caregiver clients deeply.
-Jeremy Allen, Owner, LiveBetter at Home
As keynote speaker, Bruce immediately connected with attendees, and set a purposeful tone for the entire conference day! His presentation was very warmly received, a hopeful discovery of how intentional shifts of attention reveal small wonders in a storm. Thank you so much for sharing such a sincere and engaging experience for all!
Dannelle LeBlanc, Founder, Caregivestry; Co-Host, Regional Caregiving Conference Southwest
Having Bruce speak on chronic illness and caregiving was a highlight for our church last year. His depth of understanding, practical tips, and empathy was a great encouragement for the many in our church who are currently dealing with chronic illness and/or are in a care giving role. Those who do not face this challenge also walked away with a greater understanding and appreciation for those who do. Bruce is not only a gifted communicator, but he also shares a powerful story of how chronic illness has touched his own family. I would highly recommend having Bruce lead a workshop at your church.
Shon Smith, Lead Minister, Campbell Church of Christ
Coaching is the key to unlock our potential in challenging situations. We learned that Bruce is an experienced coach who can equip your group to embrace meaningful action in life’s most unwelcome moments. Bruce can help to nurture a resilient spirit where patients and caregivers faithfully learn to thrive anyway!
Tim Hunt, Spiritual Formation Minister, Merrick Drive Church
