Your ideas, spirit and enthusiasm for what you do are

– Jenn Burton, President, Pacific Destination Services

be able to send over the photos that you took, today? Weβd love to share it in our employee newsletter. Thanks!
– Jen Knight, Best Buy 2024 – *2nd time!

“Hi Michael,
Thanks so much! The Mud Pie Kitchens event was a HUGE success! I heard so many positive comments from people about
how much they enjoyed it. One person said, ‘
this is the best staff team building event that weβve ever had β it really felt like
we were doing something positive together and working together as a team
‘.
Weβll be sure to recommend this to other departments here at the JIBC.”
– Leanne Ross, JIBC, Justice Institute British Columbia
“We have received excellent feedback on the work that Roger did for us during our important Town Hall. His energy,
playfulness and key note address hit the mark squarely. Rogerβs rules also hit the mark as I have heard staff reference the
βmisery is optionalβ rule a couple of times. His facilitation in the afternoon was also appreciated which included ushering more
than 100 people towards a photographer. :blush: The content that was generated that afternoon has been typed up and
reviewed carefully. Our managers will have their hands full, in a good way, trying to make decisions at their conference on Oct.
19th. We will certainly recommend Roger to our other peer credit unions and will most likely be in touch next year.
Best regards⦔
Barry Delaney, President and CEO, SASCU, Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union
“Hi Michael, I finally had an opportunity to ask Chris how the Family Feud Event went.
He said it was fantastic!
He said your guys were very funny and that they were right on point.
He was very impressed with how they interacted with the contestants, their audience and between each other.
He was very happy with how the event went. He said it was very funny and entertaining.
Afterwards, everyone was talking about how much theyβd enjoyed it and how much fun theyβd had. Even at the conference
dinner later, the President got an almost minute by minute rendition of the event.
Chris said it was just as much fun listening to the guys talk about it. Thank you for helping the Industrial Division stand out just a
little bit more than the Trade Division.”
Myrna Sleeman, Industrial Sales & Marketing Coordinator, Cloverdale Paint
“Family Feud was a great success! It was very well receivedβ¦and everyone seemed to be really engaged. We are a pretty
competitive bunch, so it played nicely into that!
Thanks again for a great evening! Joel and Ryan were superb! Thanks,”

Usually this group is separated, one side of the house and the other family on the other side!
But last night we were completely united!
Can’t believe how much EVERYONE LOVED IT!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I literally just searched the web and what jumped out was the video on-line about how we are guaranteed to have fun!
And the great reviews!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THAN YOU!
I will spread the news of your talented actors & ingenious company!
I will for sure keep you in mind! How could I ever forget you guys!”

and so many people enjoyed that they can mingle or get involved.
Your actors were so great as well.
We have rebooked our Christmas party for next year December 2nd. Thanks”
Krista Christiuk, Marketing Manager, WestGen Group of Companies
“
Having Roger Haskett and Engagement Unlimited involvement in our organization over the past seven years has been an
unquestionable game changer
. Roger has taken member engagement and enthusiasm at our events to an unthinkable level
that we would not have predicted when he first became involved. One of the keys of this success has been Rogerβs willingness
and ability to truly get to know our union and its culture and refine his materials
to maximize its value to our members and our
organization
. Not to mention his widely popular evening entertainment such as Family Feud. Roger’s attendance has become a
huge draw for our members in coming back year after year. Thank you Roger and Engagement Unlimited!”
Robert K. MacDonald, Director, BC/Yukon Region, The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada
“Brad was wonderful last night. Very professional and his experience as Emcee was a fantastic asset to me as we worked
to pivot parts of the session due to other covid cases coming up. Overall Brad has done a wonderful job!”
Shauna Almas, Director of Development, Canadian Cardiovascular Society
“Iβd really like to start off by letting you know that Stefano did an amazing job as Emcee! He was very well received by
everyone! I loved that after each ceremony, he would come up and ask if it was ok to do this or that to incorporate into the next
ceremony and after each ceremony, the event got better and better each time. His idea of tossing all the name cards into the air
after the presentation of grads was the icing on the cake. It brought the event to the perfect conclusion.
He was also very thoughtful with introducing each of the grads and ensured that each of them had their moment in the
spotlight.
Our CEO, Lori Mathison, was also very impressed with Stefano and wants me to book him for next year.”
Tracey Tse, Manager, Events, Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia
“Mud Pie Kitchens was a BIG hit with our group. Everyone loved the team building aspect, and the give-back of donating
the completed kitchens to the YMCA was really uplifting. Thanks for such a great event, and we will certainly be back for more
engagement!”
Vanessa Lah, Customer Relationship Manager, Agilyx Group
“Brad and Kyle were great and my staff loved the Family Feud entertainment. Thanks!”
Sean Kumagai, Dealer Principal, Metrotown Mazda
“Roger you were a kinetic ball of energy, and kept me jazzed throughout the whole conference.”
Brian Oliver, Westin Bayshore, VP
βImprov Comedians, Brad & Toby were fantastic; it was just what our group needed after three long years of not being able to
get together.
The show was fun, light hearted and everyone had a good laugh (and maybe some tears, but only the good kind from laughing
too hard!)
Michael was also a pleasure to work with in regards to arranging the event β
he took the time to learn about our group and
was able to provide suggestions for the best entertainment for what we were looking for. Was always following up (even
throughout the three years of postponed meetings) and was always super friendly!β
Brooks Jamieson, Canada Nufloors Group Inc.
“Guys that was so good! It was so well received! You rock! These guys want you back for sure!”
“Standing ovation for Roger!”

professionally and personally.β
β The Power of Play – Incentive Works Survey Result
βRoger Haskett is the most energetic and inspiring MC I have had a chance to work with in my 30 year career in the event
AV business. He makes it impossible for your audience not to listen up, and perk up, whenever he takes the stage. No matter
what the topics for discussion may be it is obvious that he does his research and puts his heart and soul on the line.β

sessions of the event. Loved him!β
β Attendee, The Special Event Conference 2017
βInstead of the typical, basic reception either in a large ballroom or in the exhibit hall, we worked with Engagement Unlimited to
offer a themed reception using camp-styled interactive games where we encouraged our attendees to βdiscover your inner
child.β Although we were nervous attendees wouldnβt like straying from the norm, it turned out they loved it! The games and
entertainment suggested by Jenny and her team were the perfect mix for ice-breakers and engagement. The Engagement
Unlimited staff were very mindful of our budget and were easy to work with both in advance and onsite. We feel it was a
great success and judging by our survey comments, so do the attendees!β
β Carrie Morin, CEM, American Society of Human Genetics
βThe show was clever and enjoyable. The audience participation was lots of fun. The music was first-rate, especially the voices

another group.β

β Brianna Prasloski, Communications Specialist, Tourism Vancouver
βWe LOVED Bizprov – it flew by very quickly! I was very in tune with what each activity taught us and why we were doing them
as it relates to team communication, trust etc. I am singing the praises of you and your team! Thanks so much!β
β James Thornley, Peake of Catering
βIt is an absolute pleasure to work with Roger Haskett and his team at Engagement Unlimited. Roger has been a dynamic key
note speaker, engaging emcee and enthusiastic entertainer for the past two years at our Steward Council. This event is the
one time of the year we can bring in our key leaders from around the Region to inform, educate, inspire and engage them on
the important work being conducted by our organization. Roger has been invaluable in delivering thought-provoking, relevant
and entertaining sessions to our delegates, while bringing his infectious energy and passion for learning.
Equally impressive is how Roger sits down with our planning team to get to know us, our Union and our desired outcomes, to
help create and design specific educational programs. It is not surprising that we have had two of our highest ranking events
since Engagement Unlimited came on board. We wholeheartedly recommend Roger Haskett and Engagement Unlimited to
help elevate your next event to a new level. β
β Robert M. MacDonald, Director, BC/Yukon Region, The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada
βThe evening was an unqualified success. The guests had a fantastic time, loved the whole mystery, and overall just had an
absolute blast. Everyone has been raving about it all day. We were confident that the entertainment would be great but you
exceeded even those high expectations. It will be impossible to top this yearβs event!β
β Kathy Coleman, RBC Insurance
βYou were absolutely fantastic to work with on the Concord Seawall Challenge. The team is so creative and personable. They
dealt efficiently in the areas of securing actors for our event, sourcing and picking up costumes, and creating the challenges. I
would hire Engagement Unlimited again in the future.β
β Dani Vacon, Beacon Collective
βI want to thank Roger for facilitating an excellent session with the CEM faculty β I heard such great remarks as they were
leaving. One faculty member said she could have sat and listened to you the entire day. Others said it was the best training
they had ever been to. They absolutely loved you!β
β Jennifer Potter, CEM Program Manager, IAEE
βI would like to first thank you for such wonderful entertainment. Our members were so pleased with your services and your
Family Feud actor was an absolute riot! He definitely kept the audience engaged and laughing. I will definitely keep you in
mind for future conventions.β
β Linda Dolling, BC Ready Mixed Concrete Association
βYou were the talking point – especially after your reveal! β¦you were MARVELOUS! Thank you. Your timing and sense of when
to speak up and when to back away was great. Our supplier partners thought it was really well done.β
β Lana Casavant, Rare Indigo (Whistler Super FAM)
βThanks so much for a really fantastic Cargill Awards last night. The client has proclaimed it best one yet and the feedback
was really great on the theme, all the characters and how it all tied together. Roger, naturally they thought you were fantastic!
Thanks for being instrumental in bringing the vision to life.β
β Claire Duncan, Cantrav Services
βRogerβs session was by far the highlight of all of the sessions that I attended at The Special Event last week. Iβve found
myself referencing my notes from his presentation several times over the last few days. I left his session feeling inspired, eager
to come back to work, and be most importantly to be engaged β and share with others.β
β Molly Conklin, Director of Events, Hotel Arista
βI supervise the Woodwards YMCA Child Care program in the Downtown Eastside, serving 37 families. Many of our families
here at Woodwards are quite vulnerableβ¦the whole idea and research behind yourβ mud pie kitchensβ really speaks to our
philosophy as we really try to incorporate more of a natural, minimalist feel to our sites and child care spaces. This is such a
wonderful addition to our outdoor play space and I know the children will benefit greatly from its innovative design!β

βThe world is lucky that a talented actor named Roger Haskett has stepped off the stage and into the meeting world.
His energy and passion light up a room. At a recent national conference I attended, he was by far the best speaker. I was
amazed by his fun sense of humor and β most important β how much I learned from him. I implemented his tips immediately
and saw noticeable improvement in my business.β
β Dave Lieber, Dallas Morning News Columnist
“Incredibly engaging presentation! Thoughts, recommendations, very relevant and applicable to my business. I’s
highly recommend including him in future conferences.
“He actually demonstrated to us this subject. We played! It was fun! I learned some great stuff! Thank you!!!

impossible Awesome!

“Itβs always a pleasure to work with Roger Haskett and the team at Engagement Unlimited.
From the start of any project we work on, Roger takes the time to listen and understand my
clientβs organization, purpose, culture and event goals.
β
Heβs able to provide excellent ideas around engagement and delivery of key messaging during
the design phase of the event
. Recently Roger helped my team with a 3 day virtual event with
300 attendees. Like with in person conferences and events, his energy was contagious and he
kept the conversations flowing from start to finish. Between sessions he injected fun with dance
and stretch breaks to get attendees moving.
βI was skeptical in my belief about how much energy could be achieved in a virtual environment
and
I was blown away by the end result.
βThe coaching and assistance he offered each presenter in those moments when he came into
the virtual green room and helped us count them down to live alleviated anxiety and
uncertainty. Presenters expressed how grateful they were for his ability to know when to offer a
positive cue or jump in to assist with something.
βHis ability to drive the Q&A portion following each presenter ensured the conversation never
ended early, only on time each and every time.
βHaving a professional speaker as an emcee ensured that he was able to weave the close of
one day into the opening of another creating continuity and bringing so many meaningful and
thought provoking conversations to the forefront.
β
Roger was really the glue that held all the pieces of this virtual event together in a fun,
meaningful and engaging way. He didnβt miss a beat
.”
“Hi Roger,
Thank you so much for your time and energy today β it was a great session!
As you predicted, we could have used a lot more time together. I would love to have you back and dedicate a session on the
Power of Positivity. I will chat with the team and circle back on timing.
Thanks again!
Emilio Vallinio, Gilead Pharmaceuticals, Cell Therapy

“Hey Roger, I just wanted to send you a quick note to say awesome job emceeing the summit! I saw you last year and was
curious how the virtual experience would go, but your energy, passion and insight were amazing. At one point I thought to myself,
“the confidence of a man dancing on a virtual conference, where he can’t hear or see anyone to feed off, of has to be through the
roof”. Awesome job!”
