ITV (Commercial)

Sean was great. We genuinely thought he was one of the best speakers we’ve ever had. The students were so receptive he received 3 rounds of applause and I was worried he might have started a riot. Perfect pitch and length and content.

Bedales

Will you pass our huge thanks onto Sean. He was totally inspirational yesterday and really got under the skin of the girls. So many have passed me in the corridors this morning saying that they’re now going to do something amazing like him!

Tudor Hall

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Sean for being part of this year’s Peebles Outdoor Film Festival. His presentation on Friday night was a perfect start to the festival, and was commented on by many people throughout the weekend.

Peebles Festival

He was great, took us all on the journey with him, and was engaging and very inspirational. 'we want a bigger beard for next time.

Origin Housing

I think it is always a challenge when a speaker is new to an organisation to find all the links and connects to our purpose with their story. It was good that Sean was without us throughout the event so that he could tune in to that. On our pre briefing call with Sean I think we offered him an approach to enable interaction with the audience through a couple of 'push pauses'. It was good that he did this… That ties back to finding links and connects.

Carmarthenshire DofE Programme

Just come back from listening to Sean’s extraordinarily inspirational talk. The sixth form loved him and there was a queue of Year 13 lads trying to get ‘selfies’ with him. One of Year 10, curious about all the fuss, asked me if Sean was a rock star-I told him he was better than that, that he was a professional adventurer!

Cheam School

Sean's talk about his John O'Groats swim kept an audience of 500 young people and parents enthralled from start to finish. His down to earth manner and can do attitude were truly inspiring and he left many in the audience thinking about how to challenge themselves and achieve something that they didn't think they were capable of.

Youth Philanthropy Initiative

Sean's talk to our TEDx Manchester conference astonished the student audience. His inspirational story and powerful message that nothing is impossible will stay long in the memory.

M&S

We thoroughly enjoyed the time that Sean spent with us at Taunton Prep. Both on the evening before Parents’ Day and on the day itself. Sean’s talk was very well received – he pitched it perfectly - in terms of the age of his audience, the length of his speech and combining an inspirational message with humility and humour. We received a huge number of compliments following the day. I know that the Head has written to Sean personally but we would like to pass on our thanks again.

Taunton

Sean was a fantastic speaker at our company-wide annual off-site. His enthusiasm and energy are infectious and people can’t help but be motivated by his achievements. Sean also effectively links in key themes that the business is working on – so that his talk is both inspirational and relevant. Thoroughly recommended.
