I Know He’ll Deliver
“Tod’s friendly style and wit allow him to communicate ideas in such a way that attendees feel that it’s just a friend sharing some ideas. By the end of the presentation though, attendees have a full page of notes, a head full of ideas, and haven’t noticed the time fly by. I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to bring Tod in to speak again at PAB, or at any other event, be it social media or corporate. I know he’ll deliver.”
– Robert Goyetche, conference planner, Podcasters Across Borders 2007-2009
I Walked Away Inspired and Motivated for Change
“Tod’s presentation on Recruiting the Facebook Generation was to say the least, engaging, relevant and inspiring. His knowledge regarding the Facebook Generation is bang-on. His use of media and language throughout the presentation captivated the audience and kept you at the edge of your seat wanting to learn more. I walked away from the presentation inspired and motivated for change.”
– Lorella Ventura, HR professional, LCBO
Tailors His Approach – An Absolute Professional
“He’s not about the cookie-cutter application or speech, rather his ability to listen and identify a company’s specific needs and then tailor his approach to its stage of readiness is really unique to most guru’s in this area. He is an absolute professional who will enthusiastically tell you your present and future, if you’re ready to hear it.”
– Catherine Legge, producer, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Remarkable — He Had The Audience Engaged
“Tod’s refreshing presentation on Recruiting the Facebook Generation was relevant, timely, and witty — a rare combination. A remarkable presenter, he had the audience engaged and chuckling first thing in the morning! The feedback received from our attendees was very positive; many agreed that Tod was the highlight of the day — a 9.5 out of 10!”
– Darcy Rezac, Vancouver Board of Trade
Thought-Provoking
“Maffin’s address was liberally spotted with light-hearted stories, but it was also thought-provoking. More than a few of the association’s membership were making notes for future reference.”
– Calgary Herald
Incredible Engaging and Inspiring
“Tod packed the house in both sessions and he delivered! He has an enormous wealth of expertise on the whole gamut related to social media and the Web 2.0. But content aside, he was also so incredibly engaging and inspiring as a presenter that you couldn’t help but have a fabulous time along the way. What was clear to me was that this guy is authentic. He’s passionate about what he does….and does a terrific job in engaging his audiences.”
– TGIM Work Life
Unexpected Insights and a Bucket of Inspiration
“I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Tod speak a number of times, and invariably come away with unexpected insights, great stories and a bucket of inspiration. Tod speaks with a rare but powerful combination of authority and unpretentiousness. I love his warmth, humour, humanity and clear-eyed understanding of both the potential and limitations of technology — and his incredible store of facts, anecdotes and case studies.”
– Rob Cottingham, President, Social Signal
Runaway Successful Speaker
“Tod Maffin was a runaway successful speaker. All respondents rated him a 3 out of 3 and comments were extraordinarily positive. Not only was he an outstanding presenter, but his personal story had a very strong impact.”

Killer Sense of Timing
“With his killer sense of timing and sharp insights, Tod offers a humane and compelling view of how to survive when the 500-channel universe lurches into a future of consumer-generated media. He always finds a way to make his audience look at things differently. That’s what I most value in a speaker/thinker.”
– Eric Eggertson
One Of The Best Speakers I’ve Seen in Twenty Years
“Nobody can match the energy and knowledge Tod brings to the podium. He’s a genuine thought-leader – always ahead of the business curve, but without any ‘head-in-the-clouds’ nonsense that so many keynote speakers fall into. Tod’s authenticity and enthusiasm on stage is simply infectious. One of the best keynote speakers I’ve seen in my 20 years of business.”
– Kevin Lawrence, top business and life coach

Constantly Impressed by Tod’s Ideas, Passion, and Execution
“I am constantly impressed by Tod’s ideas, passion, and execution when it comes to digital media, exploring the future of traditional media, and public speaking. He is one of the few people I know in the media who is deeply and actively engaged in experimenting with new digital technologies, figuring out ways to make them work, and then sharing those ideas with colleagues and audiences in ways that easy to understand, easy to implement, provide results, and get people excited instead of ‘scared.’”
– Steve Pratt, director of digital media, CBC Radio
