Inspirational Speakers – May 2024

With all this sunshine, it looks like summer is finally here! One of the best parts about working remotely is that we can work wherever the sun is shining. (Who doesn’t love setting up their office in the garden?!)

This month, we’ve been super busy building relationships with our speakers and helping our clients make their events unforgettable!

"Kriss was absolutely fantastic at our event. He hit exactly the right note and as we watched the video of the World Championships of 1991. All 450 of our delegates were cheering him on around the last bend and down the home straight as he secured Gold for GB. His enthusiasm and passion throughout his presentation and in fact the whole evening was totally infectious and above all he is just a thoroughly lovely guy!! I would recommend Kriss for any audience, anytime!."

Speaker Quotes

“The average person spends 90,000 hours at work. That is too long to be unhappy. In today’s workplace, career development is not just about promotions and pay rises. It is about ’enjoyability’ and ‘employability’. That increases productivity and performance.”

"Just like we're not embarrassed to see a dentist for a toothache, we shouldn't be embarrassed to seek help for our mental health."

"Stress is good for us: the key to preventing stress from becoming distress is to focus on controlling the controllables in all areas of your life, and empowering your team to do the same."
