Gib’s keynote, “Netflix’s Customer Obsession,” was one of the highlights of our Opticon event. Our 1,500+ attendees—from executives to product managers, marketers to analysts and developers—loved that Gib’s talk was inspiring and incredibly relevant to their work, and gave him a sky-high NPS score of 78. I highly recommend bringing Gib to your conference to delight, motivate, and entertain your audience!
— Carl Tsukahara, CMO at Optimizely

Gib’s 2-hour strategy session was the best-attended, highest-rated, and most referenced event in our 2-day Product Management Conference, which aimed to connect our team and elevate our craft. Our team of 300+ Product Managers felt the material was tangible, applicable, and interactive, and appreciated that Gib was candid and engaging. They especially enjoyed the involvement of the Panel of product leaders - hearing real-life case studies broken down and debated by executives and seeing their rationale as they put Gib’s concepts into practice. It Iwas both humanizing and inspiring for our team."
—John Shapiro, Head of Product & Design, Wayfair.

Gib’s Netflix: Wicked Hard Decisions presentation was one of the highlights of INDUSTRY 2018. His talk was not just engaging and informative but truly inspired. After watching Gib work his magic, it was no surprise that his presentation was the highest rated talk of the conference (and scored an NPS of 90, which is considered elite). If your conference doesn’t have Gib as a part of the lineup, you’re missing out.

The audience at the Habit Summit LOVED Gib! He was not only knowledgeable and well-prepared, he was engaging and funny. Gib is simply fantastic and I highly recommend working with him if you have the chance.

We are huge Gib fans. Not only does Gib have deep expertise in all things product, he’s entertaining and knows how to engage an audience, a rare combo! His workshops are hands-on and tactical. He weaves together frameworks, relate-able examples, and hands-on exercises, so the workshop content is relevant and immediately applicable. His frameworks are broadly relevant for companies ranging from pre-product to scaled, and for product leaders from early-career to seasoned. Our founders can’t get enough of Gib!

Gib’s obsession with data makes his sessions extremely relevant for product leaders. No wonder ‘Hacking Your Product Leader Career’ was our top-rated workshop at JAM London this year. Gib mixed educational content with engaging group exercises to help participants apply some of the key concepts he presented. A treat for everyone in the room! For me, as a curator, Gib was a pleasure to work with, always ready to bounce ideas and share insightful feedback on how to create ‘lightbulb moments’ for the product community.

Gibson ran an all-day product strategy workshop in London for 60 members of Foundrs - a group of the top 300 startup founders in London and Silicon Valley. The event was a huge success, with fantastic feedback on how the workshop created ‘good frameworks around strategic alignment, branding, and positioning,’ ‘great clarity on metrics and how to apply them across the full product or in swimlanes,’ and ‘Gib’s style and Netflix case studies that brought the frameworks to life.’ Tickets flew off the shelves, and the event was sold out in a matter of weeks.

Gib’s half-day Hacking Your Product Leader Career workshop was added to the INDUSTRY lineup just two months before our conference, and still sold out... requiring a 2nd session to be added. More importantly, the attendees of Gib’s workshop gave it rave reviews, making it one the top-rated workshops ever to be offered at INDUSTRY. If you book this specific workshop from Gib, I have no doubt that your participants will be better armed with the skills, techniques, and confidence needed to level up their careers in product leadership roles.

Gib was electric at the “Change: Product & Data Forum.” He gave a word-class talk on the importance of experimentation, data and of course, failure. The content was exactly what we asked for – inspiring but also practical. 89% of attendees rated his talk as ‘excellent’ and the rest as ‘very good’. He was also incredibly easy to work with and kindly stayed around to talk to the delegates afterward. He was incredibly memorable and I still quote him regularly to this day… ‘How can we delight customers in hard-to-copy, margin enhancing ways?
— Charlotte Schofield, Fluxx; Organizer of "Change," hosted by 'News UK'.

“Gib’s talks always deliver. He presents real-world case studies in an engaging and insightful way and this session on “Customer Obsession” was an intuitive reminder to keep our focus on the customer, which is hard to do as a company scales. One hour with Gib is worth a lifetime of experience.”

- Tom Willerer, Chief Product Officer at Opendoor

Can you get an audience of 600 experienced product leaders to crack up at 6 PM, after a day-long conference? You wouldn’t think so, but Gib did. His “Wicked Hard Decisions” talk, full of engaging and relatable stories, grabbed the audience’s attention from start to finish, concluding with one of the most engaging Q&A sessions we’ve experienced at JAM. Gib was an absolute animal on stage with one of the highest rating NPS scores we’ve ever seen.

Gib is a master storyteller with thorough knowledge and passion for his craft. His presentation on “Netflix’s Customer Obsession” to our 1,000-person audience at ProductCon in Seattle was engaging, fun, and most of all provided great learnings for everyone in attendance. Product School is fortunate to collaborate with Gib, and I highly recommend his talks.
— Brad Heringer, Chief of Staff, ProductSchool
Every product person who cares about expanding their knowledge base should take the time to learn from Gib’s talks. Not only are they highly informative, they’re also extremely entertaining as he’s a great speaker.

You’ll get insight into decision-making at companies like Netflix and Chegg where Gib ran product and drove key strategic decisions. Definitely worth your time and money.
— Kavin Stewart, VP Product @ Reddit
Gib has the depth of experience that enables him to share hard lessons that are backed by real experience and rigorous experimentation. Gib knows how to separate the interesting from the vital to make his presentations pack a lot of punch per minute. Combine both of these traits with the fact that Gib has generosity of spirit to want to truly help people help themselves and you’ll find that Gib is truly a rare find in our industry.
— Andres Glusman, Chief Strategy Officer @ Meetup

If you've never gotten to hear Gibson Biddle give a talk -- you should -- he's humble, funny and so thoughtful! We all learned a ton!

Gib’s product leadership program has had incredible impact at NatureBox. So much so that I hesitate to write this recommendation in fear of losing access to Gib!

Gib’s program is not just valuable as a training program for our team but it has changed the way I think about the levers in our business and what it takes to be a great executive. His talks are engaging, inspiring, and intellectually stimulating. Most importantly, they present an opportunity to learn from one of the best. If you get a chance to learn from Gib’s success, I would jump at the opportunity.

I highly recommend Gib’s workshop on Product Leadership Training for Product Leaders and Brand Marketers alike. Gib is an incredibly energetic speaker and has the ability to connect with an audience and keep them engaged with real-world, current examples that nicely illustrate his key points. Coming from a Product background, Gib is able to easily win the respect of Engineers and Product Managers and help them understand the value of a strong brand strategy, thoughtfully executed - not an easy task.
