"In retrospect Business Day was great fun – although I must admit I had gone through grave doubts of pulling it off – but you did inspire us to greater confidence in what was quite a challenging concept"
"as usual the programme becomes more spirited when you are around".
"The response to the Business Day, both from those that attended from the COP negotiations and from our own members and CEOs, has been overwhelmingly positive. In no small part was this due to your moderation and leadership of the plenary sessions and your guidance and support to us beforehand. Both (Barbara and I) thoroughly enjoyed the experience working with you and learnt much to take with us into the planning for our future events."
"Many thanks for your guidance and skilled execution of the day.
Without you – it would have been a lesser event"

connects with the audience mixing up the emotions of comedy and tragedy
that keeps everyone engaged and hooked from the moment he starts. The key
messages are delivered really well though it feels more like you have been
to a show than a lecture! The feedback from the audience was great and at
both occasions has proved to be a real inspirational note to end the day
