You would be crazy not to book Dennis Puleo! No one will ever touch your audience the way Dennis can. As a successful entrepreneur, he connects to the impulse for success. As a decorated Viet Nam veteran, he touches the broken, vulnerable side of life. As a man of faith, he draws his listeners in to the great adventure of walking with Christ. He will make you laugh; he will make you cry; he will help set you free. I highly recommend Dennis Puleo.

The men in our church & I join to share with you how grateful we were to have you as our guest speaker for the Success That Matters seminar.
I have been a pastor for 40 years, and there are rare times when I encounter a person who I believe is extraordinarily gifted of God and called to a specific work. I affirm you as one of those.
Thank you for being candid & honest with our men. Your natural ability to communicate and your God-given ability to “be real & believable” made your teaching very effective. For churches who want to offer their men a challenge to be all that God has made them to be, your seminar is a must.
I highly recommend you as a talented and gifted communicator who God used to be a blessing to those who attended the seminar.

Where do I start? First off, “You make me want to be a better man!"
I thoroughly enjoyed working with you on the seminar. The “Buzz” around the church was that the event was SPECTACULAR!
Secondly, everyone I spoke with was hugely impacted from the event in one way or another (even the two Pastors that were there!)
I can see how this event was intended to be a spring board for our ministry!

Dennis just delivered a powerful life-changing message to 275 men here at Delaney Hall in N.J. His honesty & transparency really opened the door for these men, many of whom feel that their families and society have given up on them. Dennis has a “gift” of being able to present his war stories & life stories so that these men can relate them to their own lives. He did a phenomenal job of explaining how he discovered true success – the success that REALLY matters. He took these men on a journey from feeling hopeless …..to feeling hopeful.

Dennis has blown the doors off two years in a row. Not only is Dennis passionate about sharing Christ, he is passionate about training men to assist in developing your men’s ministry.
I highly recommend Dennis for your next men’s breakfast, retreat, and /or training.

Dennis Puleo gets the job done.
The results were 45 men accepting Jesus for the first time and 300+ men rededicating their lives to Christ at our men’s convention in Binghamton, NY. He ministers to men at the gut level. We did not want someone to be politically correct..but to be open and transparent with his testimony.
Real men touch real men.
Men from New York know the real thing; and Dennis is just that. I have endorsed Dennis to numerous leaders as a speaker from both the congregational level to the state wide level.

Dennis held our men captivated with his intensity of delivery and real life experiences in the Success That Matters seminar he led. Men identified with what God had done in his life. His willingness to testify to his own failures and God's graciousness was refreshing. It was evident that Dennis had spent time in prayer for our event. Guys made first time commitments, more than half of the men that came made re-commitments to Jesus Christ and many are involved in follow-up studies, for which we praise the Lord.
Thank you Dennis for your willingness to be an ambassador for Christ.

It was a privilege to get to meet you and to participate in the Success That Matters seminar this weekend.
Both my wife and I came away with our spiritual batteries recharged and committed to bringing more men (and women) to Christ.
The idea of having the women participate in the session on marriage was terrific and really helped make that session very effective.
As a result of having Kathie with me, I found out where I’m doing well and what I’m doing wrong...and I’d never have realized it without this seminar and her being there for the morning session.
Again...terrific job!

Men can respond to Dennis in ways that they can’t respond to me because I am clergy...Dennis is just a regular guy. But he is a regular guy who has the ability to be transparent and to help other men become transparent too. In the short time frame of just one weekend seminar, men experienced something that will stick with them the rest of their lives.
No one left that seminar without doing their own personal business with God. Everyone left with a clear and credible understanding of the success that really matters in life. I believe that not just these men, but also future generations, will benefit by what happened this weekend.

Man in the Mirror has a number of wonderful leaders and several excellent topics.
I would ask you to consider asking Dennis Puleo to present Success That Matters or any other message to your men. Dennis is one of the most dynamic men I've ever known. He brings a powerful, no-holes-barred Christian message. Dennis is on-fire for Christ and God is using Dennis' testimony and speaking gifts to change men's spiritual lives.

WOW! Dennis hit a grand slam at our Success that Matters Men's event.
His personal testimony added thunder & lightening to a seminar that ROCKED men right where they were at!

Thank you for sharing wonderful, life transforming truths that when applied to our daily lives...will make us Godly men.
Your message was not only relevant and informative; but it was truly inspired by the Holy Spirit. Your workshop was both
challenging and inspiring.
I wish that every men's group across this country would hold such a conference. I believe it would truly transform America.

Thank you again for putting on such a wonderful event!
You are a great speaker, and your straight forward approach in bringing the word of God and the tools for achieving "Success That Matters"
made our event an experience that will help build our Men's Ministry.
All of the comments that we have received from the men have been unanimous in their approval of your heart and passion for God!

MEN'S RETREATS
Recently I experienced a United Methodist Men's retreat where Dennis Puleo, with "Man in the Mirror," was the guest speaker. He made a tremendous impact on the participants by his "down to earth" real life stories. Dennis' personal experiences and his transformation in Christ significantly touched the hearts of the men present. I highly recommend Dennis as an event leader/speaker and "Man in the Mirror" ministry to all United Methodist Men's groups.
David C. Adams

You served the Lord with all of your heart, all of your mind, and all of your soul this weekend at our Men's Retreat.
The men of Broadway United Methodist received the Holy Spirit this weekend; and you were the conduit.
We could not have asked for a better man to lead us down the road of redemption and salvation if we had asked the apostle Paul himself.
You are a "real" man that is on the front-lines for Christ and the world would be a better place if there were more men like Dennis Puleo out there doing it. You have inspired me more than you can ever know my friend.

I really appreciated the way Dennis approached the issues men face in a direct and authentic way. It was almost as if he had been in my head as he explained how we think as opposed to how God wants us to think. Dennis then proposed tangible real-life solutions for improving my marriage, loving my kids, dealing with sin, developing a close relationship with God, and working for his kingdom. For me, a forty-six year old Christian living the middle of a secular and affluent culture, it was a refreshing "kick in the pants" and call to action.

Don't even think about asking Dennis to speak to your group if you want to stay safe, clean and nice. Dennis will ask you to GO TO WAR WITH GOD - and that is exactly what more of us must be willing to do.

PRAYER BREAKFASTS & LUNCHES
To those who might be looking for an excellent prayer breakfast speaker or interested in the Success That Matters seminar, this IS your man!
Dennis Puleo not only has an powerful testimony, but is a man's man that men can really relate to. We in CBMC of South Dakota have hosted two community prayer breakfasts with him, and also used him as the follow up speaker for the Success That Matters seminars.

Saturday was a good day! It was by far the largest men’s event...we’ve seen in my eight years with Cielo Vista Church. We already have 50+ paid registrants for September. We are at the dawn of a new day in men’s ministry in this region. The Man in the Mirror conference will be a pivot point, a launch into reaching this objective.
I appreciate you and your ministry!

Dennis came to speak to us at our annual "DATE NIGHT" this past July and the response
has been overwhelming from the Men of Hope. Dennis had us laughing
and crying . He ministered to our church family it a way that has kept us talking and created momentum
like never before. We are bringing him back for the "Success the Matters" seminar in September.
We can't wait!

Wow! What a dynamic morning! The message in your testimony was INCREDIBLY powerful, and the results had ETERNAL implications on the 265 attendees. With your conversational and laid back approach, you hit men square in the chest with the driving forces in your “past” life.
Brother, thank you for listening to God, and allowing Him to work through you. God has a great plan and destiny for all of those that have heard your message. We are excited you are coming back!

I cannot thank you enough for your being obedient to saying yes to being our speaker this year . The GOSPEL God delivered through you was one of the best I have personally experienced.
This was reflected by both the comments I heard others say and the comments on the table cards completed by the invitees themselves.
Jack Jewett
South Dakota Coordinator for CBMC
.............................................................................................
Even though we did not shake hands or speak directly to each other, I will never forget your message to me.
I've taught and prayed over the past 39 years and have studied the Bible so many times they seemingly fade together.
I mention these things to preface the following comment: I have never heard or been more affected by one man's testimony; before I heard you today! You were able to reach my dark corners and set me on the path to freedom with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Dennis was very well received. A common theme among every one that I spoke to was their ability to relate to Dennis. There was something about Dennis that allowed the listener to relate to him on a more intimate level. Although I've heard many speakers over the years, one thing that made Dennis stand out among these speakers was his ability to blend a good presentation with something that the listener could connect with.

It was awesome! 160 men showed and the Holy Spirit used Dennis to minister to them right where they were. While the Holy Spirit worked on men's hearts, Dennis' testimony had men riveted to their chairs. There weren't many dry eyes in the room.
With the Holy Spirit fully in charge, 4 men gave their hearts to Jesus Christ!!! As if that wasn't enough; 49 men decided that the lukewarm walk with the Lord wasn't "getting it"; and they re-committed their lives to Christ!! What a great day!! Romans 8:28.

We continue to receive nothing but positive and enthusiastic responses from Dennis's message at our community prayer breakfast. We look forward to having Dennis back in our city in May for the "Success That Matters" seminar. May God continue to be honored through the efforts of ambassadors like Dennis and the rest of the Man in the Mirror staff...

Wow and then more wow!! Dennis visited our Men's group for breakfast on Saturday morning and just blew the roof off of the place!!!!!!!!!!
I can't tell you enough how much of an impact that Dennis had on our group. We had 45 guys together on their knees at the end of the talk and approximately 10 guys gave their life to Christ for the very first time!!! The other 35 guys recommitted their lives to Christ together.on their knees!!! Awesome!!

We ended up with 110 men, and Dennis spoke for over an hour. When he finished he received a spontaneous standing ovation from the men in attendance. It was an awesome thing to watch. I don't know what your plans are for Dennis at Man in the Mirror. But I can attest to you that he can deliver the mail in front of a group of men. I can count the people I've heard on one hand that can captivate an audience the way he did in Centerville. Thanks for sending him our way.

The speaker (Dennis) at the breakfast was INCREDIBLE!! You could have heard a pin drop while he was talking. I wish you could have seen all the faces from where we were sitting. Their hearts were touched, as was mine.

MILITARY EVENTS
Dennis Puleo was the main speaker at the KheSanh Veterans memorial service. This was a tough audience. These men were traumatized in VietNam and especially at Khe Sanh.
Most have had severe problems in the ensuing years coping with their physical and emotional scars against the backdrop of an ungrateful and even hostile nation. Dennis was able to connect with them in an open and transparent way as he told his amazing story of redemption.
There were around 120 in the service and for most of the time you could have literally heard a pin drop. Men approached me throughout the day to express their appreciation for Dennis and his message. I am certain that many hearts were turned Christ-ward that day.

Thanks for sending Dennis to speak to over 600 of our soldiers . His personal story of how God changed his life after facing war had a strong impact on our troops. We now have soldiers reading Man in the Mirror books & devotionals ranking from E-1 to Major!
