KYLE C. MURPHY

I had the honor of listening to Dr. Kyle Murphy’s speech and experiencing his wealth of knowledge this past weekend at the 2016 OKTA Global Connect Conference. Right from the moment he spoke his first sentence, I was engaged, due to his extremely clear, passionate, and powerful voice. He has the ability to breakdown entrepreneurship into simple concepts, and has a very modern way of explaining concepts. His session provided me with a creative and unique perspective on how to view entrepreneurship, and in a sense, reignited the spark that had always been within me. Dr. Murphy does not segregate himself from the common people due to his success, but rather makes the common people feel very comfortable around him and exudes an aura of confidence and charisma. I would love to be able to get to know him better and will always remember his session throughout my journey and road to success. —OKTA

We invited Dr. Kyle Murphy as a guest speaker to our conference at the Malibu campus of Pepperdine University. His session was placed in the hardest time slot, it was a 9 am on a Saturday, when most of the participants had spent the night working on a group project. We were worried that they would not pay much attention or that some would fall asleep but Dr. Murphy engaged the audience from the beginning and there was a lot of interaction, which immediately turned into a very active session. Even our non-English speaking participants were engaged and showed a lot of interest in the activities proposed by Dr. Murphy. Also, having Dr. Murphy as a judge during our last program added great value to our conference as he provided very important feedback to the participants and they were able to see what an investor looks for at these contests. —OKTA

Dr. Kyle Murphy is an “experience” as well as a speaker. During our Division I Marketing and Business Development meeting, he lead a Strategy Workshop at our Corporate office and made a lasting impact on our team. His ability to open the mind to see different angles and avenues of execution is a gift to those he presents to, and crucial to strategic planning. His combination of exercises and lecture points cultivated more innovative ideas and creative thinking in a 2 hour period than we’ve seen all year. Across all management levels, we gained applicable tools for developing effective strategies to stay relevant in the current environment.  Value-creation, fun, innovative, creative, analytical, and enlightening are a few descriptors that summarizes our experience with Dr. Murphy. We look forward to bringing him back!—Prime Healthcare

The Wood Industry Resource Collaborative hired Kyle to moderate a full day strategic planning meeting in November 2017. The work we did during that meeting under Kyle’s guidance was incredibly valuable, and the “takeaways” that Kyle provided following the meeting have helped to lead our group’s vision and objectives for the 16 months. We were successfully able to move to the next step and are now undertaking an industry-wide marketing campaign. Kyle walked us through understanding our target audience and message, and identifying our purpose, goals and expected outcomes, and next steps. The work we did with him has made the marketing campaign development process significantly easier because we know who we are and what we want to achieve. I strongly recommend Kyle for any organization looking to do the same.—Adria Salvatore
