When considering a person to speak at our national sales meeting and to our employees, I wanted a person who would find our compass as true and real as we do.  Kendall Gammon is a person that I have known for over 25 years.  Kendall’s personal story and behaviors are aligned with Tuthill and the culture we are creating.  Kendall is a person who truly believes in the power of “gratitude”.  Every single day, he finds a person in his life to give gratitude towards.  Sometimes it is a simple “thank you” and other times it is much more.  When our employees, distributors and sales reps heard his story, I could see their internal lights shine brighter as he asked them to share their gratitude with a person in their life.  Kendall has found a way to share his story through his NFL career and the relationship he has with his sons.  When I reflect on Kendall’s message…..Life is a S.N.A.P.  

We were lucky enough to have Kendall speak at our Team Kickoff Meeting and it was a resounding success!  Our employees understood his powerful message on teamwork and team building.  His communication was clear, motivating and relatable to all members of our organization. The time he spent with our employees was invaluable as they understood how to use Kendall’s message and make themselves better and our organization better.  The messaging was enlightening and right on point. It was one of our best speaking engagements we have had.  He was fantastic

Kendall Gammon delivered an inspiring, heartfelt and motivational speech at our most important employee event of the year for Equity Bank. He spent time working with us and visiting with our leadership and employees to craft his message. He was a great resource for our Equity team members, and really helped bring new employees together

Kendall served as keynote speaker for one of our most important events of every year, our all-employee celebration day, with nearly 400 Equity Bank employees in attendance. He gave an energetic, thoughtful talk that motivated employees, inspired employees, and made us all proud to be part of Equity Bank

Kendall was the keynote speaker at our annual conference for healthcare leaders.  Leadership was the focus of the presentation but Kendall delivered so much more.  Kendall skillfully weaved life lessons along with interesting and entertaining stories from his sports background.  The audience gave the session high marks not only for leadership insights but also for tying the message into a larger theme of personal growth (both inside and outside the workplace).  Kendall’s session was a highlight for our event.

Kendall recently spoke at a convocation that celebrates an event from nearly 100 years ago. The convocation, a key university tradition, had become stale despite our efforts to include interesting and provocative speakers in the program. Kendall’s humor, insights on life, and a little bit of juggling, energized and engaged the audience of students, faculty and staff in ways I had not seen in 30 years of attending the event. He is now the standard to which all future speakers will be compared.
