[@johnsileo]

I have been on stage with Jeff Civillico and I can't name a more entertaining, consummate speaking professional. His heart is so perfectly aligned with using your own brand of influence to make the world a better place. He does this with his customers, with his Win Win Charity and with his friends. Jeff makes all of us better people.

[@heyLGO]

Such a great reminder about how we all influence people every day, even the ones we don't know are watching.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@heyLGO thank you! YES! We never know who is watching (or not), but we have to keep putting out those ripples regardless ❤

[@boogerrhymes]

This dude's energy is off the charts! Loved how he turned his childhood dream into reality.

[@bobskillings113]

Hearing about his lowest lows and highest highs was an emotional rollercoaster. It's amazing how much he overcame to get where he is today, and how he's using his success to give back.

[@luck1791]

What a message! Jeff took the opportunity to thank a person who set him on his path... how many of us miss our chance to do so? And then we can reflect on how we all play that role in others' lives, striving to do more and to do better each day. Thank you, Jeff, for your constant optimism and your limitless energy!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@luck1791 you are so welcome! Thank YOU for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts. Thank you 🙏

[@IKnowPatDwyer]

This is what TED talks should be: entertaining, informative and personal. This one's it! New favorite.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you, @IKnowPatDwyer 🙌 For my next one, I'm going to hire YOU to help me improve my delivery! Can always get better!!

[@Steven-Francis]

It really had everything!

[@regainyourtime]

Talk about "pay it forward!" What amazing ripples you create in your life, and now you've amplified it with this TEDx Talk. Thank you for making the world a better place!

[@thisistheperfectstate]

Hearing about his ups and downs made his success even more impressive. It’s the true definition of hard work paying off.

[@johnnyddotnet]

This is an amazing journey, Jeff. The positivity and gratitude is jumping off the screen of my iPhone. It really makes me reflect back to the people who’ve had an impact on my life. Thank you for a TEDTalk that I can relate to and appreciate.

[@CourtneyLClark]

I really appreciate the reminder that influence doesn't come from position but from ACTION. What you do matters more than "'who" you are. Thank you, Jeff!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@CourtneyLClark 🤗

[@johnjjgravely]

"Our ability to impact the world is not correlated with the size of our circle of influence." This is a beautiful take away message, thank you.

[@sideshowbertjuggler]

Love it! I'm very proud to be part of Jeff Civillico's Win-Win Non Profit. The hospital visits are priceless. Once, after a visit, a Mother said "thanks so much, that's the first time my daughter has laughed in three months...

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Wow, thank you @sideshowbertjuggler! I'm incredibly proud of what we do with Win-Win, and moments like that make it all worthwhile. ❤

[@tompesceoffical]

This message hit home for me. Action causes influence, not intention. The homage Jeff pays to his childhood hero is so incredible. I, too, saw my first street performer on vacation with my family in Boston - a magician! Jeff's talk makes me want to find him and thank him. We all have the power to influence others in a meaningful way.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@tompesceoffical no way! Do you remember the name of that magician!? Can you find him online?? I promise that if you do... it will change your life... and his! Thank you for your kind words, Tom. You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people, my friend...

[@tammie-helmick]

What an amazing path you've taken Jeff! I love that you've never lost sight of where it all started and that you've recreated that same experience for so many people. The idea that we can all be influencers in our own world is such a simple one, yet the effects can be widely impactful.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@tammie-helmick thank you! Yea, it's funny to me that Peter and I had our "moment" years before being "an influencer" was even a thing! You don't need a big following to have a platform. We ALL have a platform- as a parent, sibling, teacher, friend, neighbor, employer, employee, etc.

[@ScottBloomConnects]

Wow! Loved your presentation, Jeff! It got me thinking about how I can positively influence others and have an impact in their lives. You made me think about the people in my life who have made me who I am today.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@ScottBloomConnects thank you! I would encourage you, if possible, to share that sense of gratitude with those people who have influenced you in your own life. It's powerful for sure...

[@gracetrumpfeller827]

Love the green socks, Jeff! What a powerful message-one the world can really use right now! Well done.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you @gracetrumpfeller827 ☺ I'm glad you dig the green socks!! When I do my shows and keynotes, I always wear these green socks... but I normally don't point them out- this talk was a little bit different of course, so I thought that would be fun.

[@CaseReynolds]

I'm blown away by his hustle and determination, even when he was struggling with money and setbacks, to have been so steadfast on his path is really admirable.

[@gerdakai2968]

Это очень круто. Настоящий успех у тех, кто чтит своих учителей и гордится успехами своих учеников. 💪

[@Steven-Francis]

👏🏼👏🏼 very well put!

[@MatthewFrutig]

A wonderful speech and message by a truly talented juggler, entertainer, and difference maker. I was spell bound by his story telling and empowered by his message. Every day, Jeff makes the world a happier and better place; this Tedx is a beautiful glimpse of that.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you @MatthewFrutig 🙏 Appreciate you...

[@gonzalezhickmanracing1347]

Matt, I had an outstanding Orientation Advisor in college who really impressed, impacted, and assisted me in my transition from active duty Air Force life to dorm life in college...He was a great guy from Philly, and he was in the Georgetown Chimes (a male a cappella group). Anyway, Jeff reminds me of that guy from way back then!

[@christinemarieeberle6976]

Jeff's commitment to attentiveness and gratitude makes his TED Talk shine!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@christinemarieeberle6976 ☺

[@KittyFest]

had to laugh at the 10:05 mark, definitely know what he means.... I tutored this kid for a while and she asked how long I'd been married, (it had been a year) then she said oh so you're 24? BECAUSE HER MOM GOT MARRIED AT 23 and she just assumed that's when everyone got married it was so cute omg

[@janetsplace1953]

Got that, lol

[@DonnaeCook]

I thought the same when I was a kid (and 24 seemed old then)

[@CatherinerDoe]

No-one gets married young anymore, or noone should

[@JasonMiller-on6iv]

I got the same point for sure

[@MariaeLevine]

Great point, kids ask ANYTHING! too

[@therealmariorossi]

Hearing about his childhood dream of performing in Vegas coming true through hard work and determination is so motivating. It's a great reminder to never give up on my own dreams.

[@hazrexall]

I admired how open he was about his experiences. It's not easy to talk about the tough times and setbacks, but it makes his message stand out, you know?

[@SocialMediaFilmClub]

Jeff is a model celebrity - the kind of person who makes you feel your life will be better just by knowing him. He’s remains an inspiration to my family and me.

[@moneymaker324]

The story about the grandfather in the hospital and how much his visit meant to them really got to me. It's crazy how a small gesture can have such a huge impact on someone's life.

[@jessTcarter]

I didn’t realize how tough the entertainment industry could be until hearing his story. Much more respect for performers now.

[@candicreate]

I believe we've known each other for a couple years now. I knew the Peter Panic story from creating your slide decks, but the story of the boy and the hat brought me to tears in this talk. Wow! You absolutely are a man of influence, positively influencing lives, not for a TedTalk, but in your actions... every single day. How do I know this? You have positively influenced mine in so many ways, and you continue to do so.💚Forever grateful, Jeff. Keep doing you, and I hope everyone watches this inspiring video on how to be an everyday influencer. It reminded me, there are so many more actions I can take. Thank you.

[@kevindesrosiers9917]

Great stories and a message all of us need to hear and act on!

[@julienewmans]

It's awesome that he uses his skills to bring happiness and laughter to kids who really need it. What a beautiful way to give back and get the most out of your passion.

[@gog-gog]

It's amazing how he transformed a challenging experience into an opportunity to make a difference for others

[@user-tl9jn9hb8t]

Jeff’s passion for his craft is an inspiration and example of why following your dreams is what life is all about.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you @user-tl9jn9hb8t! Your words mean the world to me! Pursuing your dreams is an incredible adventure, and it's definitely worth it. Keep following your passions, and remember that the journey is as important as the destination. Let's continue to inspire each other! 🙌

[@felicityhalette]

The part about his nonprofit work bringing smiles to hospitalized kids warmed my heart. Not everyone uses their success for stuff like that so it's so special when you get to see it

[@MrDeomyr]

Jeff your energy is infectious! What a great reminder that these small things can impact people. Love the story about Tyler

[@therealjuanschmidt]

Man I love how much he included Peter Panic in all this, from the initial phone call to having him in his show... it's obvious that Jeff was not only impacted by him but is also grateful for him and that's a really awesome thing to acknowledge

[@lamarjacobs]

Fully, shows how humble he's stayed in all of this

[@gschum02]

Way to go Jeff! I’ll never forget the amazing energy you brought to your Vegas show. It definitely had an influence on me!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@gschum02 I have the best fans!!! Thank you for following my journey, and for supporting me along the way :)

[@mikehweaver]

I can't even imagine the financial and emotional struggles he went through trying to make it in Vegas. His dedication is truly inspiring and makes my own challenges seem way smaller by comparison lol

[@katattermeier2012]

Such an inspiring life story, Jeff!! From a clinical perspective, I’ve seen you in action at the bedside with pediatric patients, I’ve seen first-hand your direct impact on a child’s ability to cope, find joy and overcome the challenges they face! I hope you know the impact you’ve left, are leaving and will leave!!! Honored to know you!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@katattermeier2012 thank you! So kind of you to say :) We love having you as part of the Win Win family ❤ You're making such a difference in the lives of so many- with your career as well as your volunteer work! Thank you for all that you do!

[@jasonrhewlett]

Jeff Civillico, CSP, CPAE, Speaker Hall of Fame, one of the best of all-time. This speech is among the best I've ever seen. How is this amazing man able to keep getting better? I was at the very first show he did when he opened in Vegas for his decade long run, it was legendary, and to hear this story is unreal. He is one of the greatest in the world at what he does, and keeps getting greater. Can't wait to see what's next with Jeff.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@jasonrhewlett aww, my brother! This means the world coming from YOU. You influence and inspire me every day, Jason... probably more than you realize! Thank you for your support ❤

[@allandraper]

Incredible brother. Thanks for sharing. Something I struggle with. I need to own my influence.

[@davinachilds]

I think it's really cool that all of this came from a random run-in with a street performer but I daresay, judging from Jeff's energy and bravado, that was always his path. He's just lucky to have been shown it so early on.

[@lazerkittythetrue]

It must take a huge amount of emotional strength to perform for those kids. Even just walking into a hospital room not knowing who or what you're going to be faced with. That takes a lot of courage.

[@alisonjanicewhite]

The story about the little boy in the hospital brought tears to my eyes. It's a beautiful reminder of the profound impact a small act of kindness can have on someone going through a tough time.

[@b0i-oh-bOi]

Aww the story of him talking to peter panic after all that time is so freakin beautiful

[@arnafieldsteen]

Seeing Peter Panic join him on stage for his final Vegas show after all those years brought such a smile to me face! What an incredible full-circle moment that must have been for both of them.

[@shelleycanhelp]

This is GREAT! Be open. Be you. You never know who you will influence. :) I don't know about you all, but I want to leave a legacy; a positive impact on those I touch.

[@rmmuskeet3831]

I've always believed that laughter is the best medicine, but I never really thought about it in the context of sick kids in hospitals. It's heartwarming to know that there are people out there dedicated to bringing smiles and joy to those who need it most.

[@blockchainbobisbroke]

It's wild to think about how a random encounter with a street performer could completely alter the trajectory of someone's life. It really makes you appreciate the power of seizing opportunities when they come your way.

[@theupguys]

We were familiar with Jeff's life work already, but this blew us away. It was informational, entertaining, and memorable. What a great example to credit his influences and a great way to motivate all of us to influence the world!

[@lapisoakspaandsaltlounge9398]

Success is not for the faint-hearted. It takes relentless effort and unwavering passion to overcome challenges that may seem insurmountable. As Jeff says, to influence others, one must have the courage to take action and the heart to see it through. Jeff has plenty of heart - a true inspiration for those who dare to dream big.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@lapisoakspaandsaltlounge9398 ☺☺☺☺ THANK YOU!

[@karlmarxismydad]

It was literally just like one second but that clip of the girl smiling while holding the spinning plate was so precious

[@thisismindfulness]

So sweet of him to have Peter join him for his last show, you can till this guy is so humble and genuine.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you @thisismindfulness! Having Peter join me for the last show was truly special. Moments like these remind me why I do what I do. Humble and genuine all the way!

[@AskAConcierge]

Ahhhh this is SUCH an incredible TEDx!! SO inspired! We need to lean into being the hero in the stories of our lives... taking full ownership of the influence we have on people we interact with on a daily basis. This is the best type of influence... it's often not the big grandiose gestures that make the difference... but the intimate, everyday ones that can make "real, lasting change." :) Great work, Jeff!

[@1henrythomas]

The reminder to focus on what we CAN do rather than what we can't is so powerful. It's easy to get bogged down by limitations, but we all have the ability to make a difference in our own unique way.

[@arnafieldsteen]

wow that's such a great point, somehow I missed that part

[@rosserl1]

Only Jeff knows how to make you laugh and choke up in the same 20 minutes!! Thank you for your vulnerability and ability to tell a story that hits home. Two key lessons for me: 1) the reminder to not diminish your own influence!! 2) Action creates influence, intentions are great, but without action that is all they are!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@rosserl1 ahhhh thank you so much! Appreciate you!!

[@hasnain-jeelani]

That story about the boy in the hospital and his grandpa had me emotional. So heartwarming that exchanges like this are still able to happen

[@westhalbrook2472]

It's a really beautiful part of his journey

[@deepfocus1540]

I totally love the idea of being an "everyday influencer." It's so cool to realize that we all can make a positive impact, no matter how big or small.

[@arnafieldsteen]

yeah absolutely, like I doubt Peter Panic realized how "influential" he was being as a kids performer but the way he inspired Jeff and everything that has led to has made a huge impact. It's really cool to think about

[@ariadne1428]

So cool that he found a way to use his skills for good! And that he stayed dedicated to it even after ending his residency ended

[@bryanbuckley1278]

So proud of you, Jeff. Great balance of story, heart, and encouragement. Well done!!!

[@kaihanderstan]

So cool that he found a way to use his skills for good! And that he stayed dedicated to it even after ending his residency.

[@ChandlerMinton-sv5ct]

Jeff is the MAN! So funny and relatable but one of the realest guys I've ever met! So much knowledge and expertise rolled into 1 unicycler.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thanks a ton @ChandlerMinton-sv5ct! 🤹‍♂ I'm just trying to keep it real while balancing on one wheel! 😄 Appreciate your support and kind words!

[@azureopal]

The videos at the 14:00 mark had me in tears straight up that is something so special

[@BriceMagic]

This is such a refreshingly genuine and impactful story. Jeff is the type of guy who makes the world a better place.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you @BriceMagic - when is the world going to be blessed by your TEDx talk?? :)

[@twcctw4778]

The Power of the Ripple! So true! We never know how many people we impact by being servant leaders or Ambassadors of Kindness, but it makes a huge diference. As my co-founder in "Together we Can Change the World" Jana Stanfield reminds us, "I can not do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that I can do!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@twcctw4778 YES YES YES! I love that quote of Jana's... powerful words to live by. Thank you for all that you do to bring joy, hope and healing all over the world ❤

[@JessPettitt]

Vulnerability is a part of influence and is the most powerful motivator behind the glitz and glamour. Thank you Jeff for the reminder!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you @JessPettitt for your kind words! Embracing vulnerability is indeed a powerful force, and I'm glad the message resonated with you. Let's continue to inspire and uplift each other by staying authentic!

[@abbeylordes7918]

I really liked his vulnerability in sharing his struggles and doubts along the way. It makes his success feel that much more earned and meaningful.

[@iambabypink]

for sure and super relatable

[@angbarnard]

🎉 what a great reminder of the influence we all have and the difference we can make wherever we are. Jeff is such an amazing human and stellar speaker! Blessed to know him.

[@lamarjacobs]

yeah definitely, I think that part about "wherever we are" is what's really important

[@earth2hayden]

Great message, Jeff. What struck me is that sometimes we are afraid to own our influence - why is that? We are far more powerful than we realize or believe - which is why ACTION is so important. We are very proud of your work and proud to be associated with you - congrats on an awesome TedX! 🎉

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thanks @earth2hayden! It’s wild how we often don't realize our own influence. Owning it can be scary, but action is key. I'm so proud to have your support and be associated with you. Let's keep making a difference together!

[@corkyamos]

His message about owning our influence and taking action is so important. We all have the power to make a change.

[@azureopal]

Definitely, even if it's just setting a good example for those around us

[@lamarjacobs]

that's it, you never know who's looking up to you

[@markeewell]

I saw Jeff on a Disney cruise in 2012, and enjoyed his show so much I made a point of seeing him in Vegas in 2017 or 2018 - glad I got there before he ended his run. His energy and desire really motivate me to do more with what I have. Great message in this one. Thanks Jeff.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you @markeewell! It's fantastic to hear you caught the show on the Disney cruise and in Vegas! I'm glad you enjoyed the shows and found some motivation in them. Your support means a lot. Let's keep that energy going!

[@joshauwidten]

Listening to his journey, I'm reminded that success is rarely a straight line. There are twists and turns, ups and downs, but if we stay true to ourselves and keep pushing forward, amazing things can happen. It's the mindset I want to carry with me as I navigate my own path.

[@arnafieldsteen]

This is such a great mindset and I tend to agree. Knowing what we want and working towards it slowly and steadily really is a winning formula.

[@LeaderPass]

The three points you gave as an example on how the impact was missed, was great. You really do exemplify (and did Peter) the power of those ripples! Intention doesn't create ripples - love it!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@LeaderPass YES! When we focus on what we can DO, we all have the power to create real, lasting change ❤

[@SRWedding35]

Thank you for sharing your gifts, Jeff! You have changed many lives for the better through your actions and by walking the talk in all that you do on stage and off.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@SRWedding35 thank you! Your nonprofit guidance over the last several years has been invaluable for our growth and development!

[@earlyeaston]

man, I can't imagine how surreal it must've been for him to actually have peter panic on stage with him after all those years! that's the kinda stuff you dream about as a kid but never think will actually happen, ya know?

[@jeffchapski6501]

The only thing bigger than your talent and your smile is the size of your heart! Keep sharing all of that with the world.

[@arnafieldsteen]

what a sweet comment!

[@stevealleva]

What a touching story! So important to remind ourselves of the daily impact we have on other people and how we should use that influence for good. Thank you, Jeff, for being a model Everyday Influencer!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you @stevealleva! I'm happy the story touched you. It's amazing how our daily actions can make a big difference. Let's all keep using our influence for good and spreading positivity. Appreciate your kind words!

[@joefingerhut]

What an amazing talk. Jeff is one of the most talented, intelligent, charismatic, and caring people I've met, and this shows amazing storytelling skills I haven't even seen yet. Thank you for being you and sharing your talents and generosity with the world, Jeff!!!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@joefingerhut thank you! It's been a joy getting to know you over the last few years :) I'm excited to do a "Laughter Without Borders" tour with you!

[@cashflowresources3556]

So true. People have an impact on your life and sometimes you never know it

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@cashflowresources3556 Absolutely! It's incredible how even the smallest interactions can leave a lasting impression. We all have the power to make a difference, often without even realizing it. 🙏

[@VodkaByNight]

I love how he seems just as excited and impressed by his tricks as someone in the audience would

[@ihavecoolthings]

hahaha fully! so much enthusiasm

[@abbeylordes7918]

😂😂😂😂

[@truthfulstudio]

BRAVO Jeff!! I love your "Action causes influence" message! Everyone needs to hear your beautiful message.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@truthfulstudio THANK YOU! 🙏

[@TheLaidbackSquirrel]

So many amazing things can happen when you follow your passion! You just have to hang in there through the obstacles, that's just life.

[@arnafieldsteen]

Such a great point, even when it's something you really love things can still go wrong

[@GregoryOffnerJr]

Brilliantly told, and masterfully executed. The story about the little boy really hit home, and the lesson I took from it was: The thing we do every day, maybe even take for granted, just might become someone else's reason for getting out of bed. Bravo, Jeff.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@GregoryOffnerJr amen to that 🙏 I now often think in terms of "Peter Panic moments" in my own life... often as they are happening, in real time! The experience of being on both the receiving and giving sides of the ripple has made me extremely mindful of how I act on a daily basis.

[@smirman23]

What a great reminder that what we may think of as a small gesture of kindness or recognition can be a pivotal point in someone else's life!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@smirman23 thank you! Yes, we never know how far the ripples we put out will go :)

[@JenKramerMagic]

Jeff is a fantastic entertainer and storyteller who truly walks the walk and makes a positive difference in people’s lives! His TEDx talk is an awesome, empowering reminder of the impact we can all have, often without even knowing it.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@JenKramerMagic thank you! Always love and appreciate you donating your time and talent for Win Win Charity ❤

[@JenKramerMagic]

@@jeffcivillicoinc Love Win Win Charity!

[@katiaromanow]

Oh man the shift from achieving his goal since he was ten to the reality of what that actually looked like was brutal.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@katiaromanow Haha, yes, reality gives us an excellent wake-up call. It's like expecting a superhero cape and ending up with a laundry bill instead! But hey, it's all part of the adventure. 😎

[@nomorerealitytv]

peter panic is such a cool stage name. bet he was a total legend back in the day.

[@imbodebrown]

After watching this talk, I'm definitely gonna be more aware of the ripples I'm creating with my actions.

[@therealjuanschmidt]

Yeah I think that's an important thing to do like not even because of influencing people just.. being a good person?

[@ginasantino5803]

What a heartfelt message! Loved hearing your perspective on what it truly means to influence. It's not about "likes", it's about making genuine connections (even if you don't know it's happening). Congratulations on your first TED Talk!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@ginasantino5803 thank you so much! Yes, it's not about the size of your circle of influence- on stage of off- online or off :)

What a great story and reminder that you never know what someone will take away from your day to day interactions.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

❤

[@DavidBurkus]

Amazing testament to the motivating power of service. Well done Jeff!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@DavidBurkus thank you!

[@juniorjensen]

This is awesome. This whole dudes journey is amazing and the fact that he's humble, and giving back to the community is even more awesome

[@makeamiracle4711]

This is spot on...actions create ripples. This is what we are all about!

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@makeamiracle4711 - YES! I am familiar with the wonderful work you do in Colombia and Peru. I hope to be able to join you with my "Laughter Without Borders" show to bring some smiles to you, your team, and the beautiful people :)

[@elliotnesster]

I've never given much thought towards who I might be influencing with my actions, either negatively or positively. This does make you think though, and want to be more intentional with my interactions because who knows how that will impact the other person

[@EdTate]

“When you take action, eventually you will influence, both online and IRL.” - Jeff Civilico. This is the reason why Jeff is my favorite nursing home speaker! 😅❤ JK! Jeff is not only a member of the Speaking Hall of Fame but a first-ballot, unanimous member of the Human Hall of Fame.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you, @EdTate. I'm honored by your kind words! It's all about making a positive impact online and in real life! 🙏✨

[@Burke3321]

What a beautiful message of service and impact.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

Thank you for watching ❤ I’m glad you found some value in it!

[@ThomSinger]

The most enthusiastic and meaningful TEDx Talk

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@ThomSinger thank you for watching :)))))

[@graciasandlove]

I'm loving how he talked about how we all have the power to make a difference in people's lives, even if it seems small. It's a good reminder to be mindful of how we interact with others.

[@westhalbrook2472]

Yes, he has a great message and takes it to some fantastic places

[@FortunateFollows]

Yes! Same I also really resonated with that part of his message

[@arnafieldsteen]

Fully! That's what struck me the most, how we might be influencing people without even knowing it

[@FunCorporateMagicNY]

Thank you Jeff for sharing your story and how we can all be influencers. This is what makes us all special and unique and what can make this world a better place. It is always a pleasure and an honor working with you helping influence others and bringing positive energy into this world.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@FunCorporateMagicNY Amen 🙏 Love you and your big heart, my friend! Excited to do a "Laughter Without Borders" episode with you one of these days :)

[@GlobalPublicSpeakingLLC]

You have more power than you realize. What are you going to do with it? Love this!

[@TheRetailDoctor]

You are creating the gossamer threads that make community. Take a bow.

[@jeffcivillicoinc]

@TheRetailDoctor thank you! I may or may not have just googled "gossamer" haha I was like ... is that a Looney Tunes reference?? 🤣

[@JohnHoulihan-ez8cp]
