Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events

Feedback from In-Person Events:

"Ollie was amazing! It touched quite a few people, to be honest, and people definitely seemed more positive afterwards, myself being one of them. It was an inspiring speech and the app has landed well. The humorous bits were a nice touch." - Amy, Head of Marketing & Events, MKC Wealth

"Ollie absolutely delivered at our event. He inspired and captivated the entire audience with his after-dinner speech - the feedback has been insane. But it wasn't just the speech that made this evening so incredible - he went above and beyond by engaging on a 1-2-1 basis with every single guest that attended, he mingled and spoke to everyone. A genuine, down to earth, still humble top top guy" - The Construction Training Academy

"The event was fantastic thank you - we had a good turnout and everyone had great feedback afterwards, so an all-round success! Ollie was nice and early, very well prepared, clearly had listened to what we wanted to get out of the event (including practical takeaways) and was great to deal with." - Rosie, Wellbeing Manager EMEA, Hogan Lovells

"Ollie delivered an impactful and thought-provoking talk that resonated with our audience. We asked Ollie to speak about the topic of leadership and what it meant to him. He took our brief on board and ensured that he covered our topic by weaving it into his stories and experiences. It was also a pleasure to have him stick around for a little while after his keynote. Our guests enjoyed speaking to him directly and snapping a few selfies. We'd definitely recommend Ollie as a speaker." - Joshua, Marketing Manager, Principal People

"Ollie was brilliant, his speech was insightful, motivating and relevant. We had really good feedback from those who attended and our Project Director was very impressed. A couple of people mentioned they wanted to ask a question during Q&A but they were a bit star-struck. And some have said they are going to buy his book, so clearly Ollie made quite an impact. Ollie was a pleasure to work with yesterday so please pass my thanks and feedback on to him. From myself, and on behalf of the LM Leadership, a massive thank you to Champions and Ollie." - LM JV
