What Andy Buckley's clients say
"Andy was high energy and was very receptive to interacting with our guests. He was a great addition to our client event!"
"We wanted to take a moment to thank Andy for joining CFO Live as our opening keynote speaker! He was an integral part of the event’s success and we truly appreciated his time, insight, and expertise."
"What an incredible night! I was a lil worried being our first Gala fundraiser, but we ended up with close to 500 attendees. Andy was a huge hit! Such a consummate professional, he stayed till the very end chatting with folks, taking selfies, and being the awesome guy he is. Some of our staff were shocked he even remembered their names from conversations a few hours earlier. On the program side, we got a late start and had to rework the program but Andy did a great job adapting and keeping the audience engaged."
"Andy was phenomenal to work with! We had issues with his internet connection during the record, but he spent 3 hours with us trying to get it fixed and making sure we had everything we needed. He even offered to do a follow-up record if we were missing anything. I would absolutely work with him again on future projects!"
"Andy Buckley was truly authentic and was everything we asked for and more. We are an organization of Financial Advisors that were interested in learning about his past experience and how he stays true to his authentic self. Very inspiring!"
"Andy was amazing with our students! He took time to talk with everyone, took photos, autographed items and even recording audio and video greetings for fans! We welcome Andy as an honorary member of the Lander University family!"
"Andy was a fantastic emcee for our Gala! He was funny, prepared, energetic, and gracious with our guests. He made time for everyone, and we received very positive feedback from our leaders regarding Andy's participation. Highly recommend!"
"Andy was such a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond what was expected of him (which was our keynote session). He took the time to attend our network event the night before where he met everyone, took pictures, signed autographs, and got to know more about our organization. He also attended lunch the day of his keynote and sat with attendees. During his keynote, he remembered the names of specific attendees and called them out (only adding to their experience). He was kind, attentive, and such a joy to work with. I can't say enough great things about Andy and would highly recommend him for any event."
"Andy was great! A lot of people got a bit star-struck, which was comical. Really a big deal that he was so accessible throughout the conference. It made every time he got up to speak a little more personable."
