Diane Goodman, Retired Speaker Manager
"Lee Rubin was one of the keynote speakers I managed. We worked together for many years, and I have always received raving reviews from clients after his engagements. His message on teamwork resonates with every type of audience, from leadership to sales to employee events. In addition to the accolades, he is one of the easiest and nicest speakers I have worked with. He goes beyond expectations in every way."
Jessica Frankovich, Executive Vice President at Seneca Insurance Company
"We had Lee Rubin speak at our first-ever all-employee meeting, and WOW! Prior to the meeting, he took the time to understand our culture, our history, and what we were looking to accomplish. He was able to weave in some company-specific items into his talk, which really helped drive his lessons home. He had the audience extremely engaged, at some points laughing hysterically, and everyone was raving about him afterward. Our President even referenced his “5 C’s” in a company-wide email after the event. Lee is an extremely genuine, articulate, and impressive individual, and I would definitely recommend him as a speaker, especially if you are looking to make a lasting impression on your employees."
Amos Haffner, VP of Employee Communications at NFP
"NFP had the great pleasure of recently hiring Lee as a keynote speaker for our flagship annual HR event in Indianapolis. He was BETTER than I expected. And, I had already high expectations set by Lee himself. He was a pleasure to work with during the sales process with his agent, through planning and promotion, a rock star day of and even diligent in follow up post event. Lee is everything you'd want in a speaker. Authentic and experienced in his subject matter. Drives audience engagement like the best of the best. And, a wonderful human being to work with behind the scenes. I highly recommend hiring Lee as your next keynote speaker!"
Tim Bruculere, Senior Vice President at Alloya
"Lee Rubin = Superstar. It can't be emphasized enough how important it is to have great speakers at your events for them to be successful.I have seen Lee in person and was very excited that he agreed to participate in Alloya's Annual Symposium. Due to the Pandemic, we were forced to present our event virtually. Lee could not have been more accommodating and with our post-event survey results now in - he couldn't have done a better job - highest marks from our members! More importantly to me, I now call Lee a friend. His energy and message truly resonate with me, and he is genuine and professional. I highly recommend Lee for your next event and I even more highly recommend you make Lee a friend of yours as well."
Brad Scovill, President & CEO at Citizens & Northern Bank
"As a fellow Penn State Football Lettermen, connecting with Lee was easy. He is a class guy who meets/exceeds his commitments and is driven by relationships. His life and professional experiences make him immediately credible to the audience. Lee has joined our team at C&N on two unique occasions in the past six months as a speaker and had an immediate impact. He worked with our team to understand the company and our objectives for each event - not just deliver a canned presentation. While his thoughts on developing extraordinary teams are valuable to virtually any organization, this preparation produced messages that were insightful, motivational, and tailored to our culture and current events. As a result, his message resonated with each individual and reinforced our corporate values perfectly. When this message is delivered by a man who cares about and connects to the people in the room, you create a powerful environment that challenges individual and, by extension, team growth. I recommend Lee Rubin to any organization committed to building a winning team!"
Nav Khanna, President/CEO at First City Credit Union
"Lee came in and talked to our entire team on our Team Engagement Day. We hired Lee because our theme for the day was “Coming Together”. It was a day of fellowship, team building, fun, philanthropy and celebration. Lee’s focus on team, leadership and winning made him a top choice and he did not disappoint! He was the standout speaker of the day and he inspired, motivated and entertained our team with passion, emotion and humor. He spoke about what it takes to become an extraordinary team / a winning team! His 5 “C’s” hit home with our team! These 5 C’s are Common Goals, Competitiveness, Communication, Chemistry and Consistency. The anecdotes he used to bring his points home were relatable and actionable. We will keep working on and living into the framework he laid out for us. I highly recommend Lee as a strong motivational speaker that any team on a journey to excellence will benefit from. "
John Blake, President at Kodak Alaris
"Lee was outstanding as our opening keynote speaker for the Kodak Alaris Partner Summit. He was well prepared, understood the audience and our occasion, and crafted a succinct message that met all of our objectives. Lee nailed it! His message clearly resonated because it continues to get repeated during subsequent conversations and meetings."

"What an absolute pleasure to have Lee in to speak to our TPO salesforce this week in Nashville. We have had numerous speakers over the years and I can tell you that Lee provided far and away the most impactful message our team has ever heard. Passionate, truthful, and honest - traits that define our team and our company, and will serve us all well as we continue to work towards achieving our goals in 2022 and beyond.
