Todd was excellent, such a lovely guy. His message was very powerful and he really validates it by his own example in his personal and work life. It was really great of him to stick around after the event and speak to the queue of people who patiently waited for his attention. He is a very warm and compassionate person and his intelligence and sense of humour was evident throughout his presentation.

Todd was obliging & worked with the audio crew & support team ahead of delivering his speech. His performance was outstanding & engaging. We received great feedback from our attendees after the conference. Todd even hung around after his speech and spoke to delegates, taking photos etc.
