Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
"Niall is an incredibly engaging and expert speaker who shares his own experience of dealing with anxiety and depression which is deeply human and which facilitates a deep connection with his audience. Niall spoke to Twitter following the launch of his book, "Me and my Mate Jeffery" with an honesty and openness that was appreciated by people who heard him and which opened a path for conversations about a subject that is often avoided. We continue to see that same honesty, drive, expertise and determination in his work with "A Lust for Life”, a remarkable achievement." - Sinead, VP Global Public Policy, X
"Niall came in to deliver a talk to our team on guarding your mental health and well-being as a creative person. The talk was equal parts informative and inspiring. He built an incredible rapport with the audience and from the discussions afterwards, it was clear that lots of the team could see the practical application to their work and their lives. I would have no hesitation in recommending Niall as a speaker and hope to work with him again in the future." - Leo, Head of Creative Shop, Facebook
