"Glenn Catley is an unusually talented man. Not only did he become World Champion, the best in the world, he is a naturally gifted speaker and motivator. We are more than fortunate that subsequently to his boxing career he decided to use his skills in the field of hypnotherapy. His expertise and enthusiasm in the lecture room has not only enthralled our student groups but given them the confidence and ability to help athletes and sportsmen in the way he was helped. It is worth remembering too that Glenn comes as a veritable publicity machine, he is news, as well as being a particularly nice and helpful person. It would be difficult for us to recommend him too highly. I have no doubt that having Glenn Catley on board would enhance any course."
David - Senior Lecturer, The Clifton Practice
"I've sat through many motivational speeches before, but I have to say Glenn's was one of the most engaging sessions I have ever had the pleasure to witness. His story was told with such animation and from the heart - it left the whole room waiting for his next words. The sign of a truly gifted speaker. His advice on the importance of having a plan and a well-structured course of action was invaluable. I don’t think a single person, including myself, left that room without feeling inspired, awestruck, and ready to take on the world! A speech I will refer back to time and time again, thank you Glenn!"
Brontae - Head of Marketing of Itec Connect Limited
“As part of a Wiltshire Police leadership initiative, I was recently given the opportunity to attend a presentation by ex-super middleweight world boxing champion Glenn Catley of 'Every Cloud'. Like Many senior managers, I have been exposed to a wealth of management speakers over the years but I found Glenn refreshing and different, focusing upon the human aspects of leadership as opposed to a theoretical or model-based approach. Utilising his boxing journey Glenn exposes the impacts that stress, anxiety and personal-responsibility can have on a seemingly unshakable vision, and uses his own experiences to demonstrate how a positive mindset, teamwork and resilience, can help to overcome these barriers. I personally found that I could easily relate to our current economic and performance challenges to elements of Glenn's story, and I found his presentation enjoyable and thought-provoking. I certainly returned to work with new enthusiasm, inspiration and most importantly, a healthy sense of perspective."
Mark - Superintendent Operations, Wiltshire Police

Vicky – Uplands Retail
“Excellent motivational speech and presentation from a really nice fella! The team really enjoyed it and meeting him afterwards too. Unbelievable achievement from a local lad and such a brilliant story well told.”
Jamie - Uplands
“An engaging and approachable speaker whose story of a local lad done well on the international stage is hugely inspirational and fascinating. Glenn is able to deliver his story with humour and candour – you forget you’re sitting in front of a world champion boxer!”
Vicky - Uplands
“Initially, I wasn’t sure what the theme was going to be for the presentation as we worked through Glenn’s early career but what a story! It was amazing to listen to a first-hand account of how powerful a positive mindset can be even in your darkest hours and how hypnotherapy can aid retaining a healthy balance in the hormonal make up of your brain. I’m an advocate of hypnotherapy anyway, seeing a therapist for insomnia, but it was really great to see how it can be applied to anything and I would absolutely recommend anyone seeing this man.”
