What others say...

"Insightful, Practical, Confidence boosting. 15mins spent with Simon went a long way. Thank you so much. What could be achieved over a longer period I can only guess at.

Really appreciated."

Nick Davies, KPMG DealConnect Lead - Mid-Market Value Creation - February 2022

 

"In helping us prepare for a series of investor-critical presentations, Simon worked one-to-one with our entire team of speakers over several months.

He made a huge difference, helping them speak with a confidence I've not seen before. Key stakeholders from the audience made a point of commenting on how impressed they were by the value and impact of the presentations.

Simon has made a significant and permanent difference to our people's effectiveness as speakers."

Simon Bucknall, High Impact Speaking Coach

I was privileged to coach each of the Grand Finalists for The Chivas Venture in 2018 and 2019, pitching to an audience of 2,500 people at the TNW Conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

At stake for the Finalists? A share of a $1 million prize fund....

"In 2018, Simon coached me with public speaking, style, helped write my pitch, and gave me every imaginable tip to manage my nerves, present with esteem, conviction and win over the audience - with his help I went on to pitch to 2,000+ people and win The Chivas Venture.

I cannot recommend him more highly to any CEO or senior executive looking to perfect their public speaking and win over an audience."

Cemal Ezel, Founder of Change Please
 
2017 UK Social Entrepreneur of the Year. 

 

"Thank you for your incredible contribution to the Chivas Venture 2018 - from the initial inspiration during the Accelerator Programme in Oxford, all the way through to the Final Stage in Amsterdam.

I was blown away by how the Top 5 Chivas Venture finalists stepped up in front of 2,500+ people, following their work with you.

You tailored your advice to meet each entrepreneur's needs and your coaching made a real difference to this year's Final event."

Laurence Mainaud, Global Brand Manager, Chivas Venture - 2018 & 2019

 

"In 2019 I had the pleasure of working with Simon while pitching at the final of The Venture, the most important competition for social entrepreneurs. Simon helped me to deliver a perfect pitch to an audience of 2,500 people. He also helped me to improve my body language and storytelling abilities.

I am absolutely certain that I won that contest thanks to Simon's help."

Paul Sartain, HR & Development, DPD Group

 

"I was recently promoted into a role where public speaking and inspiring people has become more central to my ability to be effective.

I was amazed by how effective just one session was. I heard indirectly that my presentation had been particularly inspirational - one person even contacted the Director of my organisation to say how impressed he had been.

Without any exaggeration, I give all the credit for this success to Simon."
