It is my honor to recommend Connor Fields to you. He listened very carefully to what we are trying to accomplish through our event – both societally and financially. Once he committed, he was all in. He truly became our Mental Health Champion! Our goal was to grow our annual event while reducing the stigma around mental health care. Connor is a tremendous partner in this process – and an exceedingly skilled presenter. He spoke with warmth, with honesty, and with authenticity.
I strongly encourage that you share your goals for your event and let Connor find ways to support those goals. Your audience will thank you.

“Connor is a mix of when real world talent, meets uncompromised dedication to his craft. We had the pleasure of him speaking to our select group of top sales people. The feedback was outstanding. Some remarks were “wow how real he was”, “he spoke directly to what I am going through”. His experience with failure, adversity, and success is Unparalleled. Failure is apart of everything great Entrepreneurs and salesmen go through, but so is success. His experience and story telling of his journey is one that our team will always remember. Having the pleasure of being with him for a few days I can also speak to his character and the kind of man he is. Lots of times what you hear on stage and what is real life can be two different stories but not with Connor. He truly is and example of how hard work, talent and discipline make for an unstoppable combination.”
Will Hickey - YEGPro Realty
Unbelievable… Such a moving story! “Right out the gate people were drawn to Connor. It was remarkable to watch how well he commanded the room. The large eyes and silence from people in the room spoke volumes. Connor’s journey was incredibly moving, and he did such an amazing job making his experience relatable. Setting and accomplishing goals was an important topic for our team and he nailed it!”
Andrew Haight - CFO - Star Nursery Garden Centers
“I've had the pleasure of listening to Connor speak twice, and each time, it's inspiring. The first time was at a business luncheon, and I immediately thought what a great speaker for the military members. His GOLD is what everyone needs to hear. These are great tips for this fast paced world and resilience training, something that everyone can use. Thanks for sharing your GOLD with everyone.”
Bobi Oates, SMSgt, USAF, Ret
“I have never seen every single member of our team so captivated, intrigued, and hanging on the edge of their seats. During his talk, people were laughing, in tears, motivated, and educated - there is nothing more you can ask for! Connor is a champion on the largest stage in sports, and he made every single person feel like they know now what it takes to be a champion in their own lives, and in our business! I can’t recommend Connor enough to anyone who is considering having him come speak to their team, regardless of industry or size of team.”
Blake Wynn, Founder & CEO: Enclave and Key
“Connor Fields’ life story and achievements are a true inspiration for those seeking motivation to those challenges that we all face every day, both personally and professionally. I had the pleasure of hearing Connor speak an event in a smaller group about a year prior. After hearing him speak, I found myself recalling his story when I was in situations where I needed to self-motivate and be reminded of what comes from hard work and dedication – even when life throws obstacles your way. I wanted to share that opportunity with others, so I organized a group of several companies in our professional industry that expressed interest in hearing his story for themselves. The reaction of that group afterwards was so amazing to see. From those interested in how he coped with battling depression to those who wanted to find creative ways to inspire motivation in their employees – everyone left with their own version of inspiration that came from hearing him speak. Many mentioned that they would want to hear him speak again. Connor is an exceptional individual with amazing accomplishments and a life story with unbelievable ups and downs. I would highly recommend anyone that is looking for that kind of inspiration to seek Connor out.”
Vincent Tatum, President, Grand Canyon Development partners

Connor was a joy to work with and was able to connect our theme of a good leader being a difference maker to his story. We are hopeful to have him in person or as a virtual keynote again!”
Shannon Watson, Communications Director Lawrence County School System
“Connor Fields is the consummate professional. Not only is this Olympic Gold Medal athlete a rock star on the track, he was respectful, easy to work with, prompt and super professional as the Grand Marshall of Downtown Summerlin’s Holiday Parade and tree-lighting ambassador. He comfortably spoke to a crowd of more than 20,000 onlookers and did a superb job. I would highly recommend him for any corporate or public facing opportunity.”
Melissa Warren, Managing Partner, Faiss Foley Warren Public Relations & Public Affairs
”Connor Fields is not only a great athlete, but also a charismatic and modest role model for young people. Connor was a speaker at the Healthy Kids Festival and he shared his experience with physical activity with young children to stir their interest in sport and living an active lifestyle. The event brings together approximately 1,000 children and family members to promote nutrition and physical activity. Connor was the perfect fit for our event!
