Clients & Testimonials

“Outstanding! Alden spoke to our leadership team at a time when inspiration and drive were imperative. His ability to transfer the discipline of being a SEAL and that of the entrepreneur was AMAZING! He did an unbelievable job in preparing everyone to roll up their sleeves and charge through the remainder of the year with absolute commitment. I would highly recommend Alden to anyone who is looking to take their business to the next level!”

“Alden was a true professional, and a joy to work with—from pre-call to his keynote to a private dinner event. He’s the best storyteller I’ve ever heard and he ties powerful takeaways to his stories. Alden delivered a keynote perfectly-tailored to our organization—from using our language to relating his stories to the challenges we face along with a framework to use on Monday morning. I highly recommend him!”

“Alden was an incredible addition to our sales kickoff meeting. He invested time to learn our business and delivered a compelling narrative that connected with everyone who had the privilege to watch him. But it wasn’t just what he said, his delivery was also impeccable and drew everyone in. This is difficult to do in a virtual environment, but Alden did so masterfully. I would recommend him for any event, but make sure you invest the time to brief him properly so you get the full benefit of his bespoke service and your audience walks away ready to roll.”

“Every year, we invite a motivational speaker for the final day of our worldwide sales kickoff. We expect this speaker to inspire the team and set the tone for a strong start to the year. Alden delivered. He was all that and more. His storytelling skills are powerful and unparalleled! Not only is Alden a highly dynamic speaker, but he came to our conference a day early to meet our extended teams and crafted his message to our audience and our moment. He invested himself and became a meaningful contributor to our mission. We felt it. We will forever remember Alden as a unique and moving experience. Yes, a great speaker and a perfect choice for our kickoff. But, also an authentic, genuine person willing to take the extra step to redefine best in class. Perhaps, this is what Navy SEALs are trained to do? Not sure how we are going to top this next year!”

“My sincerest thanks for the outstanding presentation you gave at my company’s Annual Sales Awards and Recognition meeting this year. You worked with my entire team to craft exactly the message I wanted the salespeople to hear. It was absolutely exceptional, and our sales staff loved it.”

“Very engaging like he was standing in your home office. Alden left the sales team highly motivated. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to have him back–in-person or via Zoom.”

“Exactly what we needed. Alden not only embodied being unstoppable, he inspired it in each of us. We are still unstoppable today! Alden, you made a difference in our lives!”

“One of the main concerns I’ve had as a conference planner in 2020 is how a keynote speaker will deliver their message in a virtual environment. Fear no more, Alden Mill’s virtual delivery was top notch. He had our audience of higher education leaders fully engaged. Because of the pandemic, our people were thrown into leading remote workers. Alden didn’t hesitate to change his topic to focus on remote leadership techniques. Through sharing his experiences our community had fun, learned new leadership practices, and were inspired to be better leaders.”

“Alden exceeded our expectations for our Chairman’s Club Trip—as was evident in the burst of applause and standing ovation as he finished. Alden moved seamlessly throughout the attendees, providing them with his ear, his experience, his wisdom, and his humility–all while making people smile along the way. I recommend Alden as an extension of any executive team looking to raise the bar at their next conference.”

“Alden absolutely knocked it out of the park for our leadership conference. Alden went above and beyond in applying himself to learn about our company and our business prior to his engagement. And it showed up throughout his presentation. He incorporated Cox vision, strategy, and objectives throughout his message which made the presentation extremely meaningful. Alden uses real-life experiences from military and business–and applies energy, humor, humility, and storytelling to bring his experiences to life. Authentic, Inspiring, compelling. Alden is the perfect exclamation point to wrap up a leadership conference!”

“We hired Alden to give the opening keynote for our international sales kick-off event. There were over 500 software sales, engineers, services, and support professionals from 25 countries around the globe. His highly energizing and motivating Unstoppable message resonated with everyone. By combining the story of his journey as a Navy SEAL, and then crossing over to his business successes, he delivered the perfect foundation for our event. Alden is a dynamic storyteller with powerful and relevant business takeaways. I would recommend him for any company looking to inspire, motivate, captivate and teach their company’s most important resources, the employees, on how to be unstoppable and stretch their expectations to be the best they can be!”

“Alden is a winner and an energizer. He presented to a packed auditorium, and he proved to be one of the most engaging speakers I have ever seen. His message and stories were real, entertaining, and enlightening. They prompted many side conversations afterward, including lots of discussion about how effective he was in conveying the key issues that matter the most to our audience. We hope we can take these messages to our teams with new energy.”

“Connecting with people is how we do business every day—pandemic or no pandemic—so the bar is high when it comes to speakers. Here’s the bottom line: Alden is the rare craftsman who can capture an audience’s attention—and hold it—whether he’s delivering over the phone or through video. Alden’s virtual presentations are something to behold. He just delivered 10 virtual speeches for us, and we just booked him for 10 more. The feedback is in from our team, community, clients, and even prospective clients, and there’s no beating the rave reviews. When you need a leadership speaker who can connect and move hearts and minds virtually, call Alden.”

“Thank you, Alden, for being such a pleasure to work with. I appreciated your interest in truly learning about our organization, our members, and their work. It impressed me that you took the time to customize your speech for our group, and to connect with them in a way that communicated that you understood their businesses and their challenges. You are a warm and engaging speaker. As our members were leaving your session, the buzz was about the principles you taught, your passion in presenting them, and their applicability to our profession. Many of the members came up to tell me, ‘Excellent choice!’ It is my pleasure to recommend you as a keynote speaker.”

“After working with us to tailor your message, you fired up 4,000 of our best customers—at 4 different locations across the country—and you brought them to their feet every time! I can’t tell you how many of them raved about the experience. Thank you, Alden.”
