Reviews

Frank was awesome. He arrived very early and ended up having lunch with our Association President and CEO of my company. His presentation is so filled with relevant information and it’s riveting to hear his stories. We are thrilled he joined us again on our 10 year anniversary and will be very hard to match…

-

“The audience loved him and he was quite the host during the meet & greet afterwards. Thank you Frank for your service, most stimulating speech and professionalism. You were correct. Everyone took away something valuable. And, from the line of people wanting to get pictures with you there’s a fan club here.”

-

Frank’s presentation was excellent, even better than we had anticipated. The material was very informative and presented in an engaging manner at just the right pace. Virtually everyone I spoke with afterward said because of Frank’s presentations, they were making some changes in their personal and/or professional lives to safeguard against fraud.”

-

Everything went perfect! Mr. Abagnale is really another level when we're talking about speakers and Unico's employees and our customers loved the experience and the opportunity to meet Frank, take some photos, etc."
