Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events

Feedback from In-Person Events:

"I can’t praise Hazel highly enough for her charming, focused and highly professional approach; supporting and motivating everyone on stage and also behind the scenes... I doubt that the events would have been so engaging and enjoyable without her commitment and support.  Entertaining and training 15,000 people over two days was no mean feat – and her presenting talents, phenomenal sporting knowledge and passion for the volunteers and the Games played such a massive part in our success. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I hope we get to work with her again soon.  There have been so many positive comments from staff, volunteers and stakeholders about Hazel’s involvement and we were delighted she was able to join us for our events." - Commonwealth Games Workforce Orientation Conference 2014

"The evening was a great success - mainly because you got the best out of the guests…you somehow get gently under the skin and get us to the real person versus the external celebrity persona. A pleasure to watch and experience." - CISCO Systems

"The Golf Business Forum at St Andrews was proud to welcome you…. You are the ultimate professional and we really appreciated the amount of preparation and research you had done to stimulate a realistic debate.  It was refreshing that you were not afraid of controversy and drilling down on the topics that mattered, moving effortlessly from anecdotal comments, and strategic business issues, to interaction with the international delegates in the audience. Your style and experience was first class and fitted perfectly with our agenda." - KPMG

"You have been a consistent figure at our event for the past eight years and are considered a fully fledged member of the team... Your preparations and conference summations are worthy of an elite athlete..." - UK Sport
