Motivationally speaking... Neil is in great demand as an insightful, thought provoking and always hilariously entertaining speaker. His clients include The Princess Margaret Hospital, OPSEU, Community Care Durham, The Youth Center, Colon Cancer Canada, Hearts of Durham, The Durham 
Secondary School Board and numerous charitable organizations. “You made us laugh, you made us cry...and helped to remind everyone in the room about the joy and wonder that life has to offer” - Maureen Daniels, Co-ordinator Pencer Centre Brain Tumor Clinic “...one of the funniest people in the country...” - Colo-Rectal Cancer Association of Canada “Your many years of experience as an actor, comedian and writer were clearly in evidence as you entertained the volunteers.” - John O’Toole MPP Durham “Some speakers are entertaining; others have a message of value. To combine both, is that most rare talent and Neil did not disappoint us. Of the several speakers we heard from that day, each attendee obviously had favourites, preferring certain ones over others. The feedback on Neil’s performance was universally positive, without exception.... ...Needless to say, I would have no hesitation in recommending that you have Neil come and speak to your group as well. I’m sure you will find that what you may have seen of Neil in the movies or on TV is just a fraction of his talent and hardly a clue of his willingness to care and share in a meaningful way.” - Richard Westerberg CFP, CLU, CH.F.C President, Durham Advocis "Neil is a marvelous speaker.  His message is one that we all know in our hearts and all too often forget- that life is to be lived, even in the most trying of circumstances.  In telling of his experience in fighting serious illness Neil portrays the elements that are so central to our Canadian society and which our caregivers bring to their professions:  kindness, compassion, a sense of community and a sense of humour."  - Patty Rout, Vice-President, Ontario Public Service Employees Union. “Your stories were both funny and touching and really hit home...many of our guests commented that your words were uplifting...a perfect fit for our celebration...” - Lee Kierstad Executive Director, Oshawa Community Health Centre “Without hesitation, Neil graciously accepted our invitation to speak at our event and as time grew closer to the event, I began to read and hear more and more positive and remarkable things about Neil Crone. I soon came to realize how lucky we were to have a speaker such as Neil featured at our breakfast...he captivated the audience with his natural charm and humor and shared personal stories which reverberated in the hearts of each of us.” -Elizabeth Kepes Co-Chair WICC Breakfast Committee Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade “Your energy and message were extremely inspirational to myself and I am sure everyone else that was there. Everyone that I spoke to after the event had nothing but words of praise for you and your story” -Ari Sefton University of Guelph Student Leadership Conference “Neil captured our audience immediately with his humour and ability to relate to our volunteers. His message of inspiration and praise for the work that our volunteers do was well received by everyone.  People laughed and felt great about themselves.  The accolades for Neil kept coming long after the event was over!”   - Cathy Kelly Manager Recreation and Volunteer Services Grandview Children's Centre Neil’s message was one of hope, compassion and living life to the fullest. A reflection on his renewed appreciation for the beauty of life and the inspiration that can be drawn from this life changing experience. As a colon cancer survivor, Neil provides expert witness to the physical and emotional challenges of this deadly disease. He taps from his extensive experience as an actor and comedian to provide lighthearted commentary of his voyage from identification to acceptance, sensitive reflection and generous praise to those who supported him. Neil’s message of hope and healing will be of benefit to a wide array of adult audiences. - Maria Alati Superintendent of Education: School Leadership York Catholic District School Board
