The Scottish Council for the Developmnt of Industry The event was a huge success and Sir Ranulph was by far one of the best speakers we have had. The audience was captivated and we have had really positive feedback. Lee Coleman - Communications Officer, NAAFI September 2009 - Dusseldorf - Having seen John (Simpson) report from some of the world’s most hostile conflicts and interview some of the world’s leading political figures, you can’t help but be in awe of a man who has literally seen and done it all before. However, to his credit, there is nothing ‘big time’ about John and I have to say he was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Thoughtful, interesting, charming and with razor sharp humour to light up even the most depressing story, he talks with passion and genuine enthusiasm about the things he has witnessed over the years, resulting in people hanging on to his every word. In terms of what John provided for our event we could not have asked for anything more. It was a privilege to be in his company and I would recommend using John for almost any occasion given his knowledge and life experience. Novartis (Suiza) “La capacidad de Uri para motivar es con mucho la más eficaz de las que hemos visto de todos los gurús que intentan inspirar con sus mensajes. IBM (EEUU) "El discurso de Uri nos dejó traspuestos, se podría escuchar un alfiler cayendo en el auditorio, Se habló de su actuación durante meses." Sony Corporation - Tokyo, Japón "la mayoría de nosotros éramos escépticos y cínicos pero Uri Geller se ganó a la audiencia. Su discurso fue tan inspirador y edificante que todos nos pusimos a vibrar con energía positiva. El contenido de su charla nos hizo pensar una barbaridad . Lo recomendamos" YIBC - Yorkshire DAVE STEWART - YORKSHIRE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CONVENTION Harrogate and Bridlington – Friday 5th June . 2009 “Dave Stewart messes with your mind. He delivers ideas at the speed of light whilst you listen and try to comprehend at the speed of sound . Thankfully he breaks off to invite a couple of people on stage to sing a song which he composes on the spot . taking suggestions from the audience. To call him a lateral thinker would be an insult - he's an upside down, back to front, triple somersault thinker. He shows you an idea for a TV Ad which looks barely like current thinking, then tells you he did it 12 years ago ! If you want someone to challenge every business concept you hold dear . . . . . book him!" Mike Firth, Chairman, Yorkshire International Business Convention MENSA - UK (Uri Geller is an) "Astonishing, Extraordinary and charismatic speaker” Sony Corporation - Tokyo, Japan "Most of us were sceptics and cynics but Uri Geller won us over. His lecture was so motivational and inspiring that all of us were buzzing with positive energy. The content of his talk was extremely thought provoking. We highly recommend him" YIBC, Hull What an incredible speech! He [Bob Geldof] really is the best orator I have ever seen. Roger Williams University, USA "Sir Geldof's keynote was the best received keynote in the history of our Civil Discourse Series. Not only did the attendees enjoy his entertaining commentary, but they were truly inspired by him. President Nirschel was bombarded by phone calls and notes the following day praising Sir Geldof's speech . . . ." Ulster Bank "The feedback I received from both my own team and the wider audience was incredibly positive and highly complimentary in terms of both content and delivery. I think that the standing ovation you [Bob Geldof] received on the day probably says it all . . . " Accenture "Everyone I spoke to (and I've spoken to a lot of people) found your [Bob Geldof] speech inspiring, thought-provoking and challenging . . . one of the best keynotes we have ever had" The Yorkshire Post "Bob Geldof stole the show at the 12th Yorkshire International Business Convention . . . . .

ING Group N.V. "You [Bob Geldof] truly inspired and challenged the audience - young, high potentials from all over the world - in a way they will not forget easily.

Three standing ovations says a lot" Yorkshire Forward "We ask our delegates to complete evaluation forms on the speakers etc. Bob [Geldof] received the best marks in the history of our event (higher than Bill Clinton!). The top mark is 5 but people were crossing that out and putting a 6 or even a 10! Great message , great delivery , fully deserved his standing ovation ! Thanks to you for making sure it worked and to Bob for taking time out from G8. Awesome !" The Sales Institute of Ireland I would like to thank Richard Dunwoody for his excellent presentation….There was great interest in his presentation and we have received excellent feedback from delegates. ESB Ireland Richard [Dunwoody] was a huge success and warmly received by everybody. There was a sense that we were welcoming home a national hero. It was great to get his insights into what happens during a race and what the jockey is thinking. Richard was also generous with his time for photographs and autographs and this was greatly appreciated. Kinnarps UK Ltd. Richard [Dunwoody] made an inspiring presentation to our company....was at ease with the audience... and was very open and friendly with members of the company...We would recommend him as an inspirational speaker. Interbrand Dave [Stewart] knocks me for six every time I talk to him. Whatever's going to be important to people in the future, Dave's thought it, and usually done something about it. He's a truly extraordinary blend of creative genius and business person with flair. When he spoke at one of our client evenings, he even brought his sound team, and people of all levels and disciplines were spellbound - with the added thrill of appearing on his web site the next day... Credit Suisse Europe, Middle East and Africa When I met Dave in September of 2000, he talked for 12 hours about the impact of digitalization on the production and distribution of media. As a banker, I didn't know what the hell he was talking about - nor did anyone else. Over the next five years, we all found out. Gartner "It was a memorable evening; the feedback was great. Bill [Wyman] did a terrific job and was a real success." IBM (USA) "Uri’s lecture transfixed us, you could hear a pin drop in the auditorium, we discussed his performance for months." |
