Practical and interactive everyone left the session with tangible tools to take back into the business. There was a real buzz in the room and the feedback from the team has been excellent". John Lewis
“Dominic’s virtual keynote was a hit with our audience. The context was full of actionable takeaways and Dominic’s experience as a screen actor shines through on video. The feedback was so good we immediately rebooked him for a second session, where he customised and realigned his content for a specific industry sector. Highly recommended.” National Sales Conference
“You know when the speaker is good when he has a group of newly qualified accountants all up out of their seats and asking each other ‘are you looking at me’ in a Robert De Niro style! We’ve engaged him to speak to our finance team several times and he really knows his stuff - he makes it fun and simple to understand. If you want a dynamic speaker for your event, with content that delegates can immediately put into practice, Dominic delivers.” Coop Food

Incredibly articulate, really strong points that resonated with me, and skilfully delivered. Thank you!" Sky Betting & Gaming
