"Kris spoke to the Southwest Airlines PM Community on July 31, 2012. His practicality and expertise were flexible and aligned well with our corporate culture. His ability to blend Trivia and PM best practices is creative and engaging. His concepts were a refreshing reminder of several key actions and disciplines that PMs often forget. Our PM Community was surveyed after the presentation and the feedback was A+. If you are in need of a solid speaker who can do more than just talk theory but also reference personal experiences throughout a presentation…Kris is the guy. I highly recommend Kris Reynolds if you are looking to heighten the awareness of your PMs or need a new strategic thinker for your delivery initiatives."

"I've listened to Kris give a great presentation at PMI Global Congress this past October (I gave all 5s) and I've worked with Kris on a recent project. He is quick to respond, easy to work with and is always looking out for ways to improve the experience for instructors and students in classes. It was a great pleasure to exchange knowledge with someone else who is dedicated to the profession of project management and keeps learning new things."
