Check out the reviews left here: https://www.facebook.com/DennisGillanSpeaker/
ADVOCATE
Dennis can now draw upon his former experience working on the National Suicide Prevention Hotline and his most recent work with the Out of The Darkness Walks. The numbers for completed suicides are heading in the wrong direction and a call to action is needed. Dennis can deliver that call and the audience will respond.
COACH
Dennis is a part-time lacrosse coach for his local high school and a full-time fanatic for the sport. Dennis has a special ability to connect with these kids through coaching and it shows in his public speaking. Motivating an audience of any age or size is no problem and his message is simple – life is worth living.
FAMILY MAN
When Dennis is not speaking he is trying to keep up with his two college-aged boys and he feeds his ego by pretending to be an athlete by playing some very bad tennis and some awful lacrosse:) Dennis is based in South Carolina, was raised in New York, and really connects with people from coast to coast with his genuine style and passion for the cause. Dennis is well suited for any climate and any audience from middle aged school kids to C suite executives and everyone in between.

"Dennis Has a Powerful Message"
Dennis has a powerful message to share on the topic of suicide prevention. His story is profoundly tragic, yet full of hope, courage and even humor as he recounts his imperfect journey towards healing. I am thankful for Dennis’ willingness to speak out and break the silence and stigma associated with seeking help.– Joanna Jemsek, Former Director of Counseling Services at Charleston Southern University
