"You managed just the right note, which was no easy feat considering the diversity of nationalities present - at my table alone there were Scandinavians, Hungarians, a South African, Americans and Japanese - all roaring with laughter. " - Gillian, Executive Assistant For & On Behalf Of The Directors
"The fact that you had tailored your speech towards our industry, and some of our guests, made the whole thing feel very special. In a room full of different nationalities, you managed to encompass them all and make everyone laugh at themselves and each other." - Catherine, Lotus (Dubai)
"Graham's preparation was excellent. His performance on the day was exactly what we needed. He kept our presenters on track, between each presentation he kept the audience entertained, asked appropriate questions and reinforced our business messages. This was all done in a highly professional manner and the humour was appropriate to an international audience and well received. " - Deborah, EMEA Partner Organisation
"I was not only impressed with Graham's ability to transform and translate pieces of 'localised' information into very humorous material, but also how he managed to keep an entire international audience amused for over fifty minutes! He tackled a variety of topics in a highly-amusing, constructive and very professional manner. Graham's brief was to help break down barriers amongst our team and engender team morale and spirit. The positive feedback from the entire audience showed that Graham's performance had really helped to achieve this." - Nick, IBM, United Kingdom
"The feedback we received from local Schering representatives attending the broadcast in 30 US cities indicated our audience of prominent American physicians thoroughly enjoyed the programme. Your experience in live television and commitment to excellence was evident throughout. I am particularly grateful for the tutoring you gave our field reporters. I am convinced that it was your coaching and calming influence that permitted them to perform like seasoned veterans." - Harold, Health Learning Systems, Schering Health Care
