James is one of the most charismatic speakers I’ve ever seen. He has an incredible way of being able to speak to a wide variety of audiences and allowing them to feel seen and heard. I’ve never walked away from one of his talks without feeling inspired, capable, or willing to learn something new. He’s a powerhouse speaker and anytime I have the option to attend his talk I’m there. Every. Single. Time.

James Q. Quick’s keynote at THAT Conference was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not only did he captivate the audience with his insights and wisdom, but he also managed to evoke a range of emotions that left us all in tears. His words were heartfelt; they were genuine. His message comes from a place of vulnerability and experience, that will stay with everyone for a long time to come. James truly has a gift for inspiring and connecting with people, and we’re honored to have had him. Thank you, James, for an unforgettable and truly transformative experience.

I had the pleasure of hearing James speak at Modern Frontends conference and I can confidently say he is a true expert in his field. Not only was he able to break down complex topics into easily understandable concepts, but he also provided valuable insights and practical takeaways for the audience.
