“If your organization is looking for ways to energize, motivate and inspire its employees in a deep and impactful way, invite Desmond to speak at your company’s Town Hall or another company-wide event. Desmond brings contagious passion and energy coupled with humility and a keen sense of humor into the room. He will connect with your audience on a very deep level, strike a chord with their minds and souls and inspire them to build resilience, trust and camaraderie in order to achieve common goals for your company while driving success in their personal careers. Desmond’s life story is that of tremendous personal and professional odds and struggles that he successfully overcame in order to become a best-in-class world-renowned athlete. It’s this story coupled with Desmond’s down-to-earth nature that makes it so easy for people to connect with and be inspired by him. Walgreens invited Desmond to speak at the Movers & Shakers event a few months ago. The event had a great turnout and was a resounding success. Many team members purchased Desmond’ book “Principles of Winning: 5 Keys to Create a Standard of Excellence”. I’m reading his book now and it’s fantastic. Desmond can also help your organization with professional coaching focused on leadership and personal development and growth.”

“Desmond is one of the best motivation speakers and professional coaches I've had the privilege of working with. I have a nonprofit called Welcome To Fatherhood and Desmond was a keynote speaker for one of our events. I've also had the honor of interviewing Desmond for a podcast. Through my interactions with him I learned a lot about his upbringing and some of the challenges he had to overcome in his life. He has an amazing story. Desmond uses his own life lessons to teach, inspire, and motivate others to become their best selves. If you're looking for a relatable, knowledgeable, and professional leadership coach I highly recommend Desmond Clark!!!”

“Growing up in the great state of Nebraska, I have a love of the game of football. As a receiver, I always focus on that position. I was a fan of Desmond from the first game he played for the Chicago Bears. When I had the opportunity to meet Desmond, I became an even bigger fan. Here is a man who has overcome major challenges in his life to become very successful. But, he has never gotten lost in that success. He sticks to one of the core principles that he teaches "All you have is your word and your name." He is a very humble man who truly wants to help you over the hurdles life is placing in your path. I am honored today to call Desmond Clark my friend. -Coach Papa”

“Des and I met to discuss partnering together because of the line of work we are in and connected immediately. Des has a passion to educate the communities we serve on the importance of financial management for retirement and protecting what matters most to them. A true leader and someone you know you can count on!”

“I have worked with Desmond through the charitable work he does, as well as using his skills as a financial advisor, for the last year. During the time I worked with Desmond, I became very familiar with his personality and work ethic and am happy to share my impressions with you. I have great respect for Desomand and feel that he is an asset to the Chicago community. His communication and people skills are excellent, and he has some very innovative ideas. Rarely do you come across someone who's as talented at both big-picture ideas and executing the small details. Now as the principal at The Insurance People I only see great things ahead and this will allow Desmond to continue as a leader in the greater Chicagoland area. — Desmond is just that person. Regards,”
