while establishing a personal connection with each individual.
His character is above reproach, his delivery is very personal
and his messages are always worthwhile. His swimming successes
reflect his commitment to excellence, and his long record of
speaking with youth and professional audiences gives him a
leg up on the competition. As a motivational speaker, Josh
has a golden touch!"

"We have had Josh as a guest speaker at several of our client
events over the past year. He has done an outstanding job with
conveying his inspirational Olympic dream to a reality story
to our audience. The principals he speaks on transcends the
swimming pool to everyday common application from youth groups
to board rooms to client appreciation events. I would not hesitate
in recommending Josh Davis as a featured/keynote speaker at
your next event."

"As an American Record holder and multiple Olympic Gold
medalist, Josh Davis' competitive performances are well documented.
His greatest contributions to the success of the USA National
Team, however, came outside of the pool. The fact that he was
elected Team Captain by his Olympic Team peers is testimony
to his strong leadership. Josh Davis was the model leader.he
was a fierce competitor, but very respectful of his competitors,
officials and coaches; he personified an unselfish "team first" attitude,
and was a counselor, mentor and friend to his teammates; he
energized the team with his positive attitude, but was humble
in victory and gracious in defeat. In short, Josh Davis was
a great ambassador for the USA Team and the sport of swimming
throughout his national team career."

"Josh's speech was very moving, brought tears to my eyes on several occasions. You can feel that he wasn't speaking to sell anything to anyone, just to instill the value of self assurance and happiness. He inspired me to push harder, think outside the box and about other people's feelings a little more. On a personal level, I took a lot of his comments to heart. How just one sentence can change someone's life! "You can do it, or I believe in you or simply, I'm proud of you..."

His personal journey to be the best in the world in a particular sport translated well for us to identify with being the best individual /employee/tax professional/tax department-World class tax. Delivered. In a relaxed and non-intimidating manner, Josh Davis carried the theme of our conference in his message for us to develop the (tax) Olympian within ourselves. Josh Davis was a welcome breath of fresh air after hours of technical business presentations."
