Bio
Eliana Gramer „We knew Rodney from watching his TIAC Congress 2015 presentation and following his blog at Destination Think! before inviting him to deliver a keynote for our annual Outdooractive Conference 2018. All communication and coordination ahead of the event was nothing but positive and straightforward. Rodney has a great personality and can truly be considered as one of the rare leaders with a clear and bold vision for the tourism industry. From the moment he walked on stage, he grabbed the audience’s attention and delivered an inspiring and thought provoking leadership message with clear strategic advice that was perfectly crafted for our audience of destination managers and professionals from tourism agencies and other players in the outdoor tourism industry. Rodney has an amazing stage presence and a very pleasant presentation style and he received rave reviews and top ratings from the feedback questionnaire we sent to conference participants and conversations following the event. It was a pleasure to work with Rodney and his keynote was the outstanding highlight of the event. Rodney also took part in the social outdoor activities of the event and engaged in conversations with conference participants that were very happy to connect with him. We can highly recommend Rodney as a keynote speaker and hope that we can bring him back on stage some time again in the future. We want to thank Rodney very much for the special moment of inspiration that he left at the Outdooractive Conference 2018 in Immenstadt, Germany.
Katie Shriner „Rodney is always thinking, a natural leader, and willing to help everyone at Destination Think! feel inspired and motivated. Thanks for making Think! the type of company people dream of being a part of.
