“I first met Curtis three years ago before he became the principal of a growing management consulting firm here in Boston. Curtis is known in Boston circles for his ability to quickly earn the respect of his clients by working to deeply understanding their business drivers, and providing practical solutions to problems which deliver real results. Curtis has a passion for people, relationships, unspoken nuances, timing, and an instinct to drive culture change at any stage of a merger or acquisition. I highly recommend Curtis as a value added multiplier, expert advisor, and strategic asset to any merger and acquisition (M&A) deal team working to solve deal critical cultural integration challenges.“

“Curtis is an extraordinary author, businessman and, overall, human being. I have had the pleasure of working as his publicist for over a year now and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. No matter the request, idea, etc. we discussed, he is always on board to take advantage of every opportunity presented to him. He is extremely hardworking, diligent, efficient and, best of all, a joy to work with.”

“Curtis is an amazingly gifted facilitator. Curtis was hired to design and facilitate frontline manager training for our organization. He trains a course as if he’s been doing it all his life even if its his first time. He’s extremely professional and our participants love him because he gets the information across in a fun yet enlightening way. His personable nature is his greatest asset.”

“I quickly identified Curtis as an outstanding professional and someone that brings a no nonsense approach, strong understanding of coaching, leadership and career mapping experience to the table. He was incredibly valuable to me during a challenging time in my career. His humble approach and knowledge of the issues at hand, goal setting, group dynamics and communication issues helped me redefine who I am as a business and technology leader for our organization. He also helped me established new roles and expectations for my direct reports. He is one of the most talented individuals that I’ve crossed paths with and someone that can help anyone create new pathways for organizational leadership and personal success.”

“Curtis’ presentation was uplifting, entertaining and enlightening. What a refreshing topic, and one that should be shared with all! You presented in a manner that was both humorous and entertaining, while still getting your message across to the entire audience. That’s a hard combination to achieve, but you did it with style and grace. You would be a huge asset to ANY group who is looking for an amazing, one-of-a-kind speaker.”

“I first met Curtis when he was at Blue Cross Blue Shield and thought “this guy is a high potential!” We stayed in contact during the time he was VP Talent at Comcast. I introduced him to Sawyer Business School as a Lecturer and he has done a fabulous job. And I team up with Curtis to provide assistance to Stybel Peabody clients in the areas of leadership development/leadership change. You could certainly call me a member of the Curtis Odom fan club. Curtis is always seeking to push the envelope on his own knowledge. I suspect that over the years there will be an ever increasing membership in the club: he is fun to be around. Yes, he is competent but Boston does not lack for competent people. Competent and fun? That’s rare!”

“The level of energy and enthusiasm Curtis shows as he presents and facilitates discussion, really differentiates him and is no doubt part of the reason why our organization engaged with him for our executive meeting. I was particularly impressed by his desire and ability to weave in content that was especially relative to our industry.”

“Dr. Odom is wonderfully entertaining, prepared, and easy to work with. He speaks from a wide range of personal experience and his compassion for helping people to find their career success is evident. Curtis will absolutely have your group learning and laughing!”

“I always feel so energized after a coaching session with Dr. Odom. Not only does he have great insights, but he communicates them in such a powerful way — both the good and the ‘what’s missing.’ Not an easy thing to do.”

“There are many words to describe Curtis Odom… all superlatives. I’ll proffer the one that means the most to me. Authentic Before focusing on my writing and publishing business, I served in the US Navy, worked in corporate America, and also started, bought and owned businesses in manufacturing, logistics and business services. I’ve worked with thousands of people: coworkers, colleagues, clients and vendors over a three decade business career. Curtis’s core competencies and his ability to help individuals and organizations achieve successful results is the type of resource you need in your career and business. He gets the job done and done well. He’s authentic. I’m a writer and publisher, I work with words, so let me give you that word’s synonyms: True, Reliable, Dependable, Faithful, Trustworthy, Accurate Genuine, and Realistic. Those words say it all and I’ll leave you with this about Curtis. You could not find a better person or a better professional to have on your side.”
