Your talk must surely rank as one of the very best we’ve heard in all the conferences we’ve had over so many years. So many of our delegates who were present at your talk have told me how absorbing, inspiring - and indeed humbling - they found it. They told me how refreshing it was to listen to somebody who had something truly interesting to say - somebody whose extraordinary practical achievements build into a story that demands to be told. I fully agree with those members and I like the way you concentrated on the facts, avoiding the Christmas-cracker homilies and platitudes which characterise the style of so many "motivational speakers".
Patrick Quigley CEO, National Bed Federation

Thanks for the excellent inspirational Everest lecture you presented. The message you gave, the passion you gave it with and of course the excellent photographs ensured we saw something that will be long remembered by the staff at Barry Callebaut in the UK.
Simon Hardman, Finance & Support Services Director, Barry Callebaut

Well done! Your inspirational lecture has gone down exceptionally well. I liked the balance of the rational and emotional - not many "rufty-tufty" executives can admit to having an emotional component to their make-up, but if you can show yours, it gives them a little bit of permission to admit their own! I genuinely think that sense of roundedness helps enormously.
Hugo Pound MD, RDI Group

Many thanks for the excellent presentation you made in Rome. An amazing experience…! The feedback from the delegates was very positive; they found it so interesting.
Andy Lamont MD, Unilever HPCX
