We had the pleasure of having Darian Kovacs speak at one of our Business Breakfast Sessions. The presentation was on point for our members, and Darian has a fabulous presence. He presents very informatively, while engaging the audience with great anecdotes and humour to keep it light. He was very professional and clearly knows his material and is very passionate about it. I would highly recommend Darian for any presentation, and we look forward to having him back in the future to one of ours!

The session was AWESOME. One comment from a team member that stood out (and that they keep repeating) is that they said that was "the most productive meeting I've ever been to". We've since then moved towards implementing a work plan based on Darian's recommendations.

I heard Darian speak for the first time at the 19th edition of the Vancouver Esthetique Spa International Conference. I was drawn in by his upbeat, fun and professional personalty, The knowledge he provided me and the class was in a way we understood. I am not very savvy with social media, but once Darian's talk was over, I felt much more confident. I will take his tips and information about social media and apply them to my business to drive more traffic, 5 star ratings and success.
