PROMOTIONAL SPEAKER REEL
I Have No Hesitation in Endorsing His Work
Dr. Buckingham is a knowledgeable and dynamic speaker. He developed an outstanding training module for the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) geared towards educating social workers on the mental and behavioral health challenges facing Service Members, Veterans, and their families. He has an unwavering commitment to ensure that Veterans and military families receive quality mental health treatment and it was a pleasure working with him. I have no hesitation in endorsing his work.
Dr. Buckingham is a Dynamic Speaker
Dr. Buckingham is a very dynamic speaker who leaves audiences wanting more. He delivered a heartfelt speech entitled, “When the Healer is Wounded” to 150 chaplains during our 7th Annual Interagency Chaplains Training Symposium at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.
The Students Really Enjoyed Your Seminar
The students really enjoyed your seminar entitled “A Black Woman’s Worth” and we are looking forward to you being the guest speaker at our opening ceremony to kick off social work month. We would also love for you to do another workshop and will be honored if you would have a book signing as well.

The Real Deal
Dr. Buckingham is “the REAL DEAL” when it comes to discussing topics pertaining to dating and relationships. I was completely thrown off when I listed my strengths and was told that they were superficial qualities. In one 45 minute session with Dr. Buckingham I learned more about myself and dating than I did paying thousands of dollars to Matchmaker.
Your Seminar Touched the Inner Core of My Soul
Let me first start off by saying Dr. Buckingham, you are truly a man of God. Your seminar touched the inner core of my soul. Your Black Woman’s Worth seminar made you face those character flaws and why we as women behave the way we do. I have always lived in fear, always afraid of trying the simplest things in life due to having been raised by an intimidating and controlling that haunted me for so long. After leaving the seminar I read your book twice and bought a copy for my daughter. Thank you man of God!
