His seminar was highly original and practical and got people thinking and acting in new and productive ways which they are now using in their work. He also made it very humorous and, as a result, made it one of the most enjoyable and memorable seminars we have ever had.

Chartered Institute of Public Relations

Lively and fun and 100% professional. Seán adds impact and that magic touch to any event.

Abbey (National)

Seán's media training techniques are excellent as was the feedback from our staff. I have huge confidence when working with Seán in this area of expertise which adds great value to our investment in employee development.

South West Water

Seán was a fantastic investment for our pioneering conference in South Africa. He was a great presenter who helped us achieve our aims with a wonderful mix of understanding, encouragement and great wit. He has the unique ability to engage with people of all cultures and meet them at their level whether in a group or a one-to-one setting.

Leadership Shines Through

The training course that Seán Brickell did for the Clifford Chance global PR group was superb. The training more than met its objectives, it really put us through our paces and, as well as learning a lot, we had great fun doing it. The team couldn't wait to tell me how good Seán was. Our thanks for a really outstanding training event.

Clifford Chance

Seán was as motivational as he was very, very funny and he left everyone feeling energized, entertained and even more personally and professionally confident to successfully tackle the great challenges ahead. Lots of my team said that, from now on, they wanted to conduct their professional interventions like Seán!

Royal Mail

You not only motivated and inspired our Business Advisers, you gave them the confidence and energy to perform successfully. Since then, we have experienced the best business sales week in retail so far this year.

Vodafone

Seán worked with us to improve our interpersonal and business presentation communication skills on both an individual and a team level. We noticed a rapid and sustainable improvement in both areas which has proved to be of great value to the business. He was a pleasure to work with, being insightful, motivating and entertaining.

Petro-Canada UK Ltd.

He fulfilled his roles very well as a serious interviewer, a chat show and conference host and as a comedian – all without any autocue. Particularly impressive was his ability to step up and ad lib for more than 20 minutes at the drop of a hat when the need arose!

Deloitte

You would be my first choice for any event we hold in the future which requires a guest speaker.

Bank of Scotland

Seán worked with me as my executive coach for 8 months helping me to rise to the challenges of a new job and supporting me in the development of my leadership team. Seán is a great motivator and support and understands the psychology of people which I found invaluable.

Royal Mail

Thanks to you, both easyJet and I have benefited because of the way I and the company came across. You definitely gave me the confidence and belief in myself to deal with presenting to a large professional audience in a manner that was dynamic and brought to life a subject which is normally considered dreary.

easyJet

Seán, as my executive coach, and I quickly developed a strong rapport and his warm and challenging approach gave me even greater focus with workable actions. This has provided me with models and strategies to tackle and achieve both personal and business challenges. He quickly grasps your situation and how best to use it to achieve results.

Institute of Advanced Motorists

We had a major corporate values launch where it was vital that everyone engaged in the process and also enjoyed themselves. The way he interacted with the audience and the management panel was as productive as it was highly witty and that made the whole thing come to life. People are still talking about it!

Gordon Brown's not master in his own home

Watching Barack Obama in Gordon Brown's prime ministerial pad today was most revealing. As they left a photo call in one of the Downing Street drawing rooms, the US President stood right by the Prime Minister and patted him on the shoulder, holding his hand there as if he was shepherding Brown around his own home.

It revealed what we could see anyway, that Brown was ill at ease in the presence of the new President who ushered his British counterpart out of the older man's own room as if he was a seeminlgy tolerant boss seeing off his humble and insecure junior employee. Actually, that's exactly how this scene played out.

I know Obama has presence, charisma and greater power, not to mention a 3 ton fortress for a limousine, but that should not stop our PM from deciding to act like the unsure underling, particularly when on his home turf and even more so when in his own home.

Gordon, give me a call and we will sort out your body language and attitude so next time you appear more like a British PM of note.
