“I have known Justin for a long time, and knew he would be the perfect keynote speaker to inspire and motivate my team at our virtual conference. And he definitely delivered! His lessons around positivity and thriving in the face of change tied in beautifully with our overarching messaging, and I couldn’t have been happier. He certainly deserved the virtual standing ovation we gave him!”

“Wow Justin, your presentation provided tremendous value to our firm. We had approximately 500 people on the call from all around the world, and your message of resilience, teamwork and thriving in the face of change resonated
with all of them. Despite this period of “Zoom fatigue,” and the challenges we are all facing during this unprecedented time, our audience truly enjoyed listening and learning from you. I continue to receive positive feedback from all levels weeks after the event, some saying it was the best keynote they have had the pleasure of attending”

"This was the first time I have seen a husband and wife present together. Justin and Dahlia were amazing and our entire team found them impactful and motivating. When I first heard about Justin’s story, I was ready to hear about an American hero’s ability to fight through a very difficult time and learn about all of the positivity that came with it. However, when I reflect on the presentation, the story is really so much more and the lessons they provided about teamwork, resilience and thriving in the face of change were exactly what we need right now. Heroes are not only the people who are in harm’s way and this was exactly the inspiration we need as we head into 2021."

“Justin, after hearing you present at a CEO conference, I knew you would be the perfect speaker to inspire our 2,000 store leaders at our Michaels leadership conference. Your speech was outstanding. It was both inspirational and dynamic. You took the time to get to know our audience, our business, our goals and our needs. Thank you for giving a speech that spoke directly to my team. We are taking the lessons to heart and incorporating them into our business. We loved having you wear the Michaels red vest and being part of our team! People are still talking about your speech today. Thank you for a very memorable event.”

"We had nearly 500 in attendance to hear Justin and Dahlia live on a virtual platform. We then provided the recording to our 20,000 member workforce. Justin’s harrowing story of survival and optimistic perseverance is exactly what we need to hear at this time while we face a pandemic. And Dahlia’s strength and positivity are nothing short of heroic - she proves that true leaders come in all shapes and sizes. Their shared journey is beautiful and inspiring, and the feedback has been incredible.”

“Through the story of his military journey, Justin represents the voices of many of the very best that America has to offer and he does a fantastic job. A powerful and inspirational speaker, from the moment he took the stage Justin built an instant rapport with the audience as evidenced by his standing ovation. His message of dedication, perseverance, and triumph against nearly impossible odds resonated deeply, not only with the members of our Military Network, but with our entire Capital One team. One of the most impressive aspects of his presentation was his preparation. In the weeks leading up to his presentation, Justin spent several hours with our senior leaders understanding our business for the sake of tailoring his message for our audience.”

Justin’s presentation is unforgettable, and we will certainly be applying what we learned from him.The audience gave Justin a long and loud standing ovation, which was no surprise to me.

“When we read Justin Constantine’s biography we knew that his presentation is going to be inspirational, but we weren’t prepared for just how powerful and motivating his presentation was. Everyone who heard Justin was rejuvenated and reinvigorated. Our people left refocused on our success and reminded of the boldness and courage that resides within each of us. Justin’s presentation was truly transformational.”

“Justin spoke at our annual CEO Conference, and I will never forget his opening line, “I am the luckiest person in the room.” He went on from there to rivet the attention of the CEOs with his story of courage and perseverance in the face of terrible odds. After he spoke, about a dozen CEOs came up to me and said they were deeply touched, moved and inspired by what Justin said and by his example.”
Sandy Ogg,
Operating Partner, Blackstone
“Justin connected with our leadership on a personal level weeks before our event, and adapted his material accordingly. He motivated and impressed our entire audience, and I heard people talking about his message long after the event was over. No wonder so many of our employees lined up to talk with him afterwards.”

“Thank you so very much for all of your assistance with our Finding Your Path leadership conference at Towson’s SECU Arena. You were a phenomenal addition to the day and we have heard wonderful feedback, particularly about how compelling your story is and what a remarkable individual you are. I can’t begin to tell you how many people have reached out to let us know that they found you to be the highlight of the entire event. Your humility, sacrifice, and service to this country, as well your incredible attitude about the challenges you face was a true inspiration to all who attended.

“During the two days, our audience was frequently distracted, checked emails on their smart phones and went in/out of the room for brief breaks/phone calls. However, during Justin’s speech, the audience was engaged, quiet, and focused on his speech. I looked around the room in the middle of his speech and you could have heard a pin drop! Justin had done his homework and wove in references to our company, and industry throughout his presentation. Upon completion of the speech, the group gave him a standing ovation and many stayed after to shake his hand and speak to him. All the feedback I’ve received from everyone in attendance has been extremely positive! I would recommend Justin to any organization looking for a motivational speaker.”
Sean McDonald,
Sales Director, Federal Civilian Territory, CA Technologies
"Justin is incredible and his speech was so inspirational for our team, both on a personal and a professional level. As you may know, we in Lockheed Martin put a lot of pride in what we do, especially when it comes to supporting our warfighter – Justin’s experience brought that home even more. Justin’s speech was followed by lunch – and folks were talking about it. Then there were reception and dinner, and folks were talking about it. Then it was Friday, and folks were still talking about it. Justin’s is a simply an incredible story, from such a humble speaker."
Vanja Thorson,
Capture Management Senior Staff, Lockheed Martin
"Yesterday we had the honor and privilege of having retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel Justin Constantine speak to our sales organization. His message of perseverance through adversity is very relevant to the environment we face in sales, especially since March of 2020! If you are looking for an amazing guest speaker, I could not recommend Justin more!"
Chris Gordon
Senior Vice President, Sales, Avenu Insights & Analytics
"Your presentation was inspiring and reinforced the importance of the work we do at Lockheed Martin to protect the warfighter. Your message about looking at life as a "glass half full" despite the adversity you endured was truly uplifting and highlighted the importance of persevering to make the most of every day. You are a testament to the human spirit. Thank you for sharing your remarkable story and powerful insights with us.”
Dale P. Bennett,
Executive Vice President, Mission Systems & Training, Lockheed Martin
“Justin Constantine is the most generous and authentic speaker I have encountered. Our Montana Western audience was large, but the feeling in the auditorium was intimate. Justin responded to questions from students and community members with such wisdom, sincerity, and intense focus on each individual that for those moments, it seemed they were the only two people in the room. We cannot begin to fathom the scope of the impact he generated in just a couple of hours, but his message is so crystal clear and his delivery so real and caring that there is no question that lives here were changed for the better and forever.”
