Testimonials
"As our featured speaker for Mental Health Month in May, Jeff
Bates, delivered an exceptional speech.
The Road To Recovery is both motivational and inspirational.
He truly possess a rare gift to motivate people to reach inside
of themselves and focus less on what they are and more on
what they can become. Humor, honesty accentuated with
enthusiasm and love are just some of the gifts that Jeff Bates
brings. Through his colorful and demonstrative style of
communicating his true, personal life-stories of overcoming
adversity and achieving the nearly impossible inspired all to a
renewed thinking. His level of rapport with the audience,
impeccable presentation style, energy, and substance of
message are superb. I’ve never seen anyone hold the attention
and interest of an audience as well. The power, content and
conviction by which he delivers his message is electrifying. We
asked for and he delivered an hour to remember! He met and
exceeded our expectations! The comments from the staff and
the feedback from the attendees have all been very positive
and thankful. Anyone with their own personal struggles will
appreciate his profoundly inspiring story of recovery and
redemption, shared through his words as well as his music.

A motivational speaker that can connect heart and soul with his
audiences and deliver an inspirational message with substance
and a unique style is rare, and Jeff Bates is surely one who can
do just that!!"
