"Corey Saban takes you on a journey that sparks incredible creativity and engaging storytelling, leaving the audience sitting on the edge of their seats. He uses words and language like a painter uses a brush and paint to create art. He worked with us on breathing life into all forms of communication so that our messages resonate and drive action. He is truly a joy to work with and learn from."

Laura Pavlus

"What a tremendous team-building session with Corey Saban. It could not have gone over better. What a wonderful surprise hit! One never knows how people are going to react to open discussion forums, promoting change, and reflecting on how they do things. Is it right? Is it wrong? Is the team getting respect, recognition, and trust? Are they also, in turn, giving their fellow teammates the same acknowledgments? We've all done the group outings, but we rarely sit down with our teams and have them talk through their day, their accomplishments, their issues, and challenges, and actually give them a voice. I want to thank Corey for doing an excellent job with the team. Nothing but praise and admiration from them for what he said and how he got the message across.
I encourage everyone to have Corey come to your club and present his team-building session. He gets my recommendation every day of the week and twice on Sundays!!"

"Corey didn’t just hit a ‘home run’ but rather a ‘grand slam’ based on the feedback and impact from our staff (both seasoned and newer team members)! I have two memories that stand out beyond just the retreat, 1) his ability to make genuine connections and interest with all of our team members, and 2) his willingness to invest in any individual team members who wanted additional coaching or time with him after the scheduled session. Corey is an incredibly special and unique individual who is extremely talented. I’m grateful for the time he spent with our team and our future relationship - he made us better. I know he will continue to have an impact on our team!"

"Corey is a valued strategic partner for us at the club. His crisis management trainings are excellent, and the hands-on role-playing taught us how to deal with the media and turn a negative situation into a positive one. We learned the importance of having a communication chain of command and it's provided a great deal of value creating redundancies in our messaging. Corey continues to work with our team to enhance our crisis preparedness and implement culture initiatives that have built employee camaraderie and changed our perception in the community. Additionally, staff morale has improved tremendously. Protecting our member’s privacy and our brand image is essential to success, and this session has better prepared us for anything that can happen. The training was informative, engaging, and one of the best investments we made.“
