We have booked Damian as a keynote speaker on many occasions. The audiences have found his presentations an engaging combination of inspiration and practical advice and I know that the messages have resonated for a long time after the events. It is great to see how Damian tailors the style and content of his delivery to the interests and energies of his audience so that he makes sure that each person understands how they can use the time to their best advantage.
Damian has a really rich experience across many sectors. His involvement with leading sporting organisations provides an insight, outside of the normal business environment, that challenges the way that individuals approach change and deliver winning results through the team. Damian always scores highly in feedback. People will leave these sessions really challenging themselves on what they need to do differently to deliver success. His communication of the key points is enhanced by the use of many different media.
