Client Testimonials
"As a Relationship Manager in the Financial Services industry, I’ve attended countless broker-dealer conferences and speaker sessions over the years, and Amber Balcaen’s keynote truly stood out. As a professional NASCAR driver, she delivered a message that resonated deeply with our audience of financial professionals in a way that felt genuine, relevant, and memorable. Amber drew clear and compelling parallels between competing at the highest level of motorsports and succeeding in the financial services industry—preparation, discipline, resilience, and performing under pressure. Her ability to connect those lessons to the day-to-day realities advisors face in building trust, leading teams, and navigating change kept the room fully engaged. What impressed me most was how effectively Amber translated her experiences from the racetrack into actionable takeaways that advisors and leaders could immediately apply to their businesses and careers. The feedback I received from advisors after her session was overwhelmingly positive, and many cited her presentation as a highlight of the conference. Amber brought exceptional energy, authenticity, and perspective to our event, and I would highly recommend her to any firm - financial in nature or not- looking to deliver a meaningful, high-impact experience for any type of professional."
