Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
“I asked Drew to come and speak at a global forum I was organising, having been really engaged watching him speak previously. Drew gave a masterclass in leadership for a diverse global audience, in small bitesize chunks, which made the impossible seem possible. We had some wonderful feedback post event. We were also lucky enough to get an early run of his latest book to take away, which I can’t rate highly enough. Looking forward to booking Drew again soon.” - Rolls Royce
“Drew’s knowledge and expertise and level of professionalism is outstanding. The development of leadership skills we have been able to work through has been so rewarding. I personally have learned how to communicate clearly and effectively with my team and reflect on my own Leadership skills. Drew is phenomenal at listening and gives fantastic tips and ideas on how to improve both work and life performance. As a coach he has the natural ability to recognise potential, and guide people through any tough work and life situations. I have grown enormously because of this work.” - CCUK Sales & Marketing Director
“Drew’s session was fantastic. From the beginning he brings an energy to the room that really engages everyone. He delivers the messages in a very clear fashion which I’m sure will be memorable for a long time after the session. The examples he is able to draw upon really bring it to life and you can see how this works for everybody, not just great sports teams or big businesses. He clearly has a real passion for leadership & helping to develop others. He draws you into this and really makes you believe that you can become, or help others to become, better leaders. I found myself wanting to put it into practise straight away when back in the office.” - Lloyds Bank
