‘Alastair was absolutely amazing! I heard people say that hands down he was the best speaker they have ever heard – and our group attends a LOT of conferences. His experiences and the stories he told were so inspirational and they tied in so well with our event theme and overall content. We sent out a survey to our attendees and asked them what their favourite part of the event was. Alastair was brought up time and time again.’ ‘I wanted to thank you for attending our summit! I can honestly say that I’ve never had feedback about a keynote speaker like I did after your session. To say it was positive was a massive understatement – extraordinary was more like it!’

Customer Reviews

i-Prospect (USA)

‘Funny, relevant and inspiring. Considering it was a very tough crowd of wealth mangers who don’t have English as their first language he did so well... they laughed along and after the speech many of them sought him out to tell him how motivated they felt to do something new and how he had inspired them. He was also asked for many photos which he happily obliged and bless him no matter how many times different people asked him what next he answered each as if it was the first time he had been asked. ‘Throughout the evening after Alastair’s presentation the overall audience was mesmerized and “wowed”. He inspired change and people starting talking about taking action to make their own personal lives more satisfying.’

NPG Wealth Management

‘Your presentation was absolutely spot on, and the messages fitted well with the rest of our content and the theme of the day. Having also spoken to some of the participants, I know that the audience really enjoyed it and felt it resonated well with their business challenges.’

IGD (Supply Chain Summit)

‘I’ve witnessed many presentations over the years but I have never observed such universal engagement between the speaker and his audience. Al has a knack of being humbly inspiring and motivational whilst at the same time being just an ordinary guy (who’s managed to get off his backside and achieve a ton of extraordinary stuff). He effortlessly personalized his subject matter for the audience, was fun and memorable. Importantly, he actually inspired change within the audience – people responded and took action to make their own personal lives more satisfying, an intangibly wonderful result. Finally he was a doddle to deal with, wholly informal and flexible. An effortless 10/10.’

Amazon

‘Our objectives were met exceptionally well, Alastair was thought-provoking, entertaining and inspiring. We wanted someone who was going to offer us something different to think about after a fairly long Corporate focused session. Alastair’s stories about his own adventures and approach to life challenged us all to start thinking more adventurously. In addition to a warm reaction in the room, from our own internal feedback, Alastair’s talk received the highest average rating of all of the elements of the day with a significant number of comments highlighted his talk as the best part of the day, commenting on how inspiring it was. The audience engaged with his talk, asking questions both immediately after and as he generously stayed to talk more informally. I had a number of conversations with people who are already planning to put Alastair’s challenge into action…’
