"You not only motivated and inspired our Business Advisers, you gave them the confidence and energy to perform successfully at the sharp end of what is a new venture for Vodafone. Since then, we have experienced the best business sales week in retail so far this year." Rhian Rees, Head of Learning & Development (Retail), Vodafone
"Seán was as motivational as he was very, very funny when he facilitated and spoke at our pioneering national team conference. It was a vitally important landmark event and he left everyone feeling energized, entertained and even more personally and professionally confident to successfully tackle the great challenges ahead. In fact, as a result, lots of my team said that, from now on, they wanted to conduct their professional interventions like Seán!" Karen Powell, Head of Learning & Development Services, Royal Mail"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 – and the formal evaluation backed this up too. He was extremely well prepared and used enormous energy in running the session. Our thanks for a really outstanding training event." Anne Groves, Global Head of Public Relations, Clifford Chance
"You would be my first choice for any event we hold in the future which requires a guest speaker." Rachel Harris, Manager, New Business, Bank of Scotland
"Seán's role as compčre was to hold together a very challenging conference consisting of four different TV style shows in one day. Each was designed to communicate particular company messages in very different styles. 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! Seán was critical in maintaining audience attention throughout the day and ensured that the delegates were thoroughly entertained when appropriate. He was a pleasure to work with and contributed towards one of our most memorable and productive conferences." Marcus Williamson, Deloitte
"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." Veronica Kher, Manager, Information Management, Petro-Canada Ltd
"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 was infectiously enthusiastic but also wasn't afraid to challenge and push me to ask questions about myself that I may not have wanted to ask. Seán encouraged me to explore different approaches to problems and in doing so ensuring I had considered all options available to me. Seán is a great motivator and support and understands the psychology of people which I found invaluable." Tom Hings, Director of Brand Marketing, 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. The audience even clapped at your colourfully clever introduction which helped to win their hearts right from the start." Pritesh Dattani, Head of Internal Audit, 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." Seb Goldin, Managing Director, Institute of Advanced Motorists
"Seán works hard to understand what the client needs rather than wants. His professionalism and attention to detail are in line with what you would expect from someone who can work at both ends of the spectrum. Seán is comfortable in any environment and displays a number of skills from 1-1 coaching, group facilitation and comparing large groups." Ray Mulvey, Talent & Learning Manager, Royal Mail
"We had a major corporate values launch where it was vital that everyone engaged in the process and also enjoyed themselves. Seán helped us communicate our values to the staff and for them to communicate effectively with us. 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!' Sandra Huelsmann, Communications & Marketing Manager, HSH Nordbank
"Seán was a fantastic investment for our pioneering conference in South Africa…as he gave so much of himself for the benefit of the delegates and the event organisers in and out of the conference hall. 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." Edward Okundi, CEO, Leadership Shines Through
"100% professional. Seán adds impact and that magic touch to any event." Sue Wilkinson, Head of Life and Health Propositions, Abbey (National)
"It was a pleasure having you here in Dubai. You showed us by example of how it should and could be done. I look forward to coming on more of your workshops." Mohammad Ahmad Bazargan, Senior Relationship Officer, National Bank of Abu Dhabi
"I really can't recommend Seán enough. We have worked together for the past 3 years on a multitude of different events and the feedback is consistently excellent. He has a unique ability to add life to any conference or corporate event. His professional yet engaging personality means that attendees feel relaxed yet involved with every aspect of the conference creating a more upbeat atmosphere. Whether it's interviewing speakers to ensure their introductions are interesting or facilitating Q&A, Seán is the man for the job." Jason L Hulme, Events & Research Director, Informa Professional
"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." Sarah Ion, Events Team, Chartered Institute of Public Relations
"It's not surprising that, after your speech, people were queuing up to talk to you and to ask how to book your training workshops." Anne Morris, Worcester Business Breakfast Club
"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 company's investment in employee development." Stephen Swain, Communications Manager, South West Water
"If I could speak to an audience at 10% of your level I would be delighted! I picked up on a few things you said last Thursday and revamped my press release and sent it to them again. I have just gotten off the phone having had a long chat with the business editor and the photographer is coming on Monday! This is as a direct result of me paying attention to you last week." John Bates, Travel Counsellors
"Your media profiling encapsulated everything about me, both personally and professionally, in a compellingly colourful way. It certainly therefore got the media coverage I needed to help me grow my business because it was so professionally done - in fact, so much so, that whole chunks of it were copied word for word by the journalist in a top magazine which is read by my main target audience! Thank you." Shamus Ogilvy, The Ogilvy Smokery
"With your press releases and handling of the media, you effectively countered the effects of widespread and inappropriate negative publicity on my reputation during a legal appeal against a criminal conviction. I was impressed with the speed of your actions. Your understanding of your business is thorough. Your writing ability is especially good, being able to get the message across in a concise, easy and persuasive style. This, coupled with your shrewd awareness of visual impact, meant that news articles were accompanied with appropriate pictures to endorse the message. Thank you." Wing Commander Mohammed Ashraf, RAF
