Testimonials:

Colin worked with our team on a one day culture workshop. It was the first time the team had come together in well over a year.
Colin created a fun, engaging, exciting and almost party atmosphere through his session and yet we created our team vision, agreed our behaviours and went away with personal development work plans. As one of my senior leaders said, we’d achieved more in a single day than his previous organisation had achieved in six months.
Matthew Needham, Executive Leader

Wow, Wow and Wow! Colin delivered a truly motivating, real and thought-provoking talk. I don’t believe we have ever had a speaker who has had such a profound effect on colleagues, the energy he ignited on the day continues more than a week later.

Colin has an outstanding way of delivering a powerful and engaging message through strong research, thought-provoking delivery and good old English humour!

I engaged Colin recently for his keynote on culture for my Sales Director lunch. Everyone has been raving ever since and I look like a goddess for getting him in the room. Never ever have I seen a speaker so comfortable in their IP. Colin has the ability to hit key messages with stand up comedy pace. Bloody brill – 10/10
