Don’t just take our word for it..
Ed was overwhelmingly the high point of our leadership conference at Cornell University. When reviewing the evaluations many students stated that Ed was the best part of the day. There were also a few quotes saying he is the best speaker they have ever had the pleasure to hear.
K. Miller, Cornell University
Our students at the University of Bridgeport love Ed's motivational messages and his enthusiasm and energy is palpable. He is one of the most creative and dynamic speakers with whom I have worked and is incredibly easy to work with. He is passionate about his work and has been very inspiring for our students.
E. Oestreicher, University of Bridgeport
Ed is a fixture at our orientation programs. He speaks at our Welcome Program and both students and parents have given him a standing ovation! He is heartwarming, motivational, humorous, high-energy, and a real delight to work with. We hope Ed continues with us for a long, long time.
I. Nussbaum, University of Hartford
Ed Gerety has energy, enthusiasm, and expertise. He connects with student audiences because he is authentic. His message for students is clear and compelling: set your goals, set your expectations, and then make your dreams come true.
T. Edwards, Thomas College
Ed Gerety is the keynote speaker at all of our New Student Orientation programs for the past 8 years. Our students evaluate Ed's presentation as their #1 program during Orientation every year. It is a pleasure working with Ed. He is not only a valued partner, but has become a part of the Fordham family by taking the time to get to know the students and staff he works with. I highly recommend Ed Gerety. Invite him to your school, campus or organization once and he will be back for years to come.
J. Nolan, Fordham University
Ed is an amazing speaker and each year our students ask to have him back on campus to speak to our incoming students during new student orientation. His message is clear, heartfelt and moving. Some students really relate to what he speaks about and learns to make positive choices in their life based on his presentation. I highly recommend anyone that needs a heartfelt and meaningful speaker to have Ed on their campus.
E. Morrell, Albertus Magnus College
Ed is an outstanding speaker! His message is up-lifting and the content can be enjoyed by all ages and backgrounds. The student-athletes and staff at BGSU still refer to some of the items that Ed discussed while he was on our campus. I highly recommend him.
J. Blais, Northwestern University
Ed has spoken at our Opening Week events for the four years. Ed is a pleasure to work with; he is very personable but professional. He arrives early to set up, and our students find Ed informative, amusing, and inspiring. I would recommend Ed to any institution.

Thank you again for making a lasting impact on the future of SJC. As expected your presentation was one of the biggest highlights of the Orientation for both the students and parents!
M. Rocheleau, Saint Joseph’s College
Ed is truly inspiring and I highly recommend his presentation to any school or organization that is looking for someone with great character to deliver a presentation on core values, leadership, and personal growth.
M. El Shahawy, University of Southern California
I have had the pleasure of working with Ed Gerety for 5 years in my role as Director of Student Activities and Orientation. Ed presents at all four of our sessions and sees about 85% of our incoming class every year. Ed does a super job as he delivers a great message that has the students inspired, thinking, smiling, and having a good time. Ed works well with my professional staff, my student staff, and the new students at large. He provides his services at a reasonable cost, is easy to work with on the business side, and he’s always on time for a performance while sticking to our schedule. Our first-year students really admire and enjoy his performance year after year. His message is on target and delivered perfectly.
J. Granger, Lasell College
Ed Gerety is dynamic; he is charged with energy; and he is genuine in his delivery. He infuses his talk with humor, and students find Ed someone to whom they can relate. His connection with them has an impact and is remembered. I don’t know many speakers who dedicate as much energy to the details as Ed does. He is definitely a class act.”
T. Potter, Plymouth State University
Ed brings enthusiasm, creative energy, and honesty to his programs. Right from the start, he captures not only the attention, but the hearts of students. He challenges students to reach higher, think critically, and to seek to lead with integrity. Ed is a rare gem and an amazing speaker
