reviews
Gerald Lucas is an extraordinary speaker who wowed the audience at our event in New York City. His relatability and enthusiasm for paying success forward are just a few of the many reasons he was selected as our keynote speaker. Gerald was captivating, engaging, and motivating while describing his journey through obstacles, temporary failures as well as successes. His talk was compelling and he had a visible positive impact on our graduating class. Bradford was thrilled to have Gerald Lucas as our speaker. We highly recommend him and would not hesitate to bring him in for future presentations to our organization.

I just wanted to reach out to you and say thank you for the amazing job you did speaking last week. Your experience as a multi-family owner and your knowledge of the market here in NJ had our audience engaged to say the least. When we have someone who is not only a powerful speaker but, a true working landlord it is like we have hit the jackpot. Your “in the trenches” familiarity with our core membership demographic made the evening a must attend for everyone. There was not one person exiting the room who did not learn something they could turn around and use immediately.
We have received so many compliments for the program and questions about when you will be speaking again. The feedback has been overwhelming. Thank you again for making my job so easy!

When I sent out the message to our group that Gerald Lucas would be speaking I knew he would be a good draw and the house was packed. Gerald did not disappoint-- he gave us useful negotiating tips not just about what really works in negotiating but he also explained why it works. The audience was engaged and responded most when he showed us how to tell when the other person in the negotiation is lying-he shared a funny story from his experience that made it hilarious and memorable. Our members have asked to bring Gerald back to speak again--looking forward to the opportunity.

Your talk at the Best Selling Author’s Conference was not only informative, but very inspiring. We both know that the engine that runs this country is the small business owner. You had the audience rolling when you described your first business going door to door at four years old selling coloring books. Of all the events that transpired that weekend I came home repeating your entrepreneurial story of not letting the early rejection you received dampen your resolve or spirit towards owning your own business.
Congratulations on all the awards you took home. Please let me know the next time you are speaking in or around Chicago, I’d love to attend.

Gerald, at the Best-Sellers’ Summit, we all expect everyone to perform at a certain level. But every now and then someone shows themselves as a star that is even brighter than we thought. You and your presentation showed us that you were exactly that! Your wisdom, knowledge, and entertaining delivery were extremely helpful to the entire audience. If anyone has the chance to have you speak at their event, or to hear you speak, they’d be a fool to pass that chance up! Congrats on the awards, you deserve them!

Congratulations! For the record, your speech at the conference was not only captivating, but it was also as compelling as it was informative. Keep up the excellent work.
