Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
"The event was everything and more than we hoped! Feedback immediately after and since has been that it was the best event they had attended. Steven and his team were absolutely fantastic, so accommodating, so friendly and it really was a pleasure to host them at 25 Bank Street, and even better that we were able to make it happen in person - something I think we all agreed was absolutely worth it. For Steven himself, what can I say... he exceeded even the very highest expectations we had for him - so intelligent and inspiring with his wisdom, but also so generous with his time. He genuinely had a huge impact on the audience and I know people will be talking about this event for a long time! Thanks again for your partnership as always!" - Charlotte, Vice President Operations Control Management, J.P. Morgan
"Just wanted to say big thanks for getting Steven to our event - he was amazing and very humble!" - Mandy, Eastsideco
"I imagine like many others, I became aware of Steven due to his upcoming involvement in Dragon's Den. Reading about his accomplishments in media coverage of this obviously led me to his social media sites out of general intrigue at his success in life. After following for a few days I realised his focus wasn't just on money and life as a successful business leader but there was a much deeper focus on fulfilment and success for life in general. His promotion of a recent podcast episode led me to listen to that and realise that so many of the views I've had particularly about my career over the past few years were being completely validated."
"The audience appeared to really enjoy the fireside chat. I’m hoping to receive the feedback from our survey at any time, so can send you any comments. Personally, I thought Steven gave very helpful and interesting replies to the questions, especially about happiness which I really liked as this is often overlooked! I thought he did a great job for us." - Sue, AICPA
