Unscripted and amazing. It is hard to get project managers out of their shell but Kupe had us out of our seats, laughing, doing crazy things and secretly teaching us before we knew what hit us. Laughter truly is the best medicine and I would prescribe Kupe for your next event if you need a fantastic speaker who knows the profession of Project Management and Business Analysis.

At the recent Virginia Business Analysis Development Day, as expected, I knew Kupe would bring the necessary energy to his talk to shake things up and get me to think differently.  The scenarios and common sense principles he demonstrated definitely encouraged me to stay in the moment and get past thoughts of “I’ve seen and done this before”.  He showed us, through improvisation, how to get in the heads of my customers, think on my feet and set aside what I thought I knew.  I’ve consciously applied this fresh approach and am seeing the results of a better understanding of my customer’s needs.  When Kupe talks, be sure to listen.

The IIBA Greater Atlanta Chapter engaged Kupe as the opening keynote for our 2017 BA Boot Camp event. As we chose to hold the event on a Saturday morning, we were really looking for someone who would bring a positive vibe, and a boost of energy as well as a pertinent message. Kupe had the entire audience on their feet, laughing and breaking the ice on multiple occasions as he shared insights on “Next Gen Business Competencies.” Kupe provided the perfect mix of instruction and interaction, setting the tone for a great event. I would highly recommend Kupe as a keynote speaker or as an instructor on business analysis, agile, and other professional development topics in his repertoire. Kupe is a gifted speaker, a true professional, and a class act.

We (IIBA MSP) brought Kupe in to be our Keynote speaker for our chapter’s professional development day. Kupe knocked it out of the park. He captivated the crowd of 400 and challenged traditional views while keeping the energy high. I would highly recommend Kupe as a speaker and trainer. We look forward to having him back at next year’s PDD.

Kupe was the mid-day keynote speaker at the NC PMI Annual Conference. Kupe was very easy to work with and responsive leading up to the conference. Kupe did an amazing job as the after lunch speaker. He engaged the audience, had some of them on stage and also had us laughing. Although our audience was predominately project managers, I would recommend Kupe for pretty much any industry. You can’t go wrong with Kupe!

Kupe’s presentation was fantastic! His ability to capture an audience and energize the room is amazing. He is absolutely one of the best presenters I have seen. Extremely talented.

I would like to recommend Kupe to anyone who is thinking of bringing in a speaker or consultant. Before engaging Kupe, during the negotiation process, I found him to be very personable and easy to work with, and I was impressed by his expertise. Once engaged, he got (and continues to get) rave reviews for the results he delivered. The expectations were high, and Kupe exceeded them!

Kupe is a natural on stage. He commands the audience and is extremely genuine. Many of our participants were able to relate and put into practice the key topics covered.

Kupe brought his ‘A game’ when he presented to the Louisville IIBA Chapter. His discussion on Improvisation was engaging, fun and insightful. The chapter members and guests had nothing but high praise for Kupe and his topic. On behalf of the entire Louisville IIBA board, we highly recommend Kupe.
