Russ King, Product Manager, Monster.com
“It was the best talk I’ve ever been to. Loved the content, pacing, delivery, structure. Your message was very memorable (imparting that much information can leave listeners forgetting what was said) and you managed the balance between substance, detail and memorability well. ”

Keynote talks

 

From a small group to large audiences, Andy takes an unusual approach of immediate audience interaction.

Andy’s unique method of presentation and philosophical approach builds the confidence of his audience, helps them to genuinely understand networking, how to build a successful networking strategy and how to support each other.

In his interactive sessions Andy’s style also helps the audience to break down barriers and meet each other, sparking conversation between delegates. The experiential learning process ensures audiences discuss some of the topics covered, rather than simply taking notes.

 

Suitable for:

Keynote, Seminars, Luncheons, Internal Team Meetings, Annual Conferences, Sales Events, Business Exhibitions

 

Andy recently led a networking event at One Alfred Place entitled Riding the Recovery Wave. It was informative, entertaining and offered plenty to anyone who might have thought they already knew everything there is to know about networking.

There was a truly cohesive feeling amongst the attendees at the end of the event and I've already noticed many of them putting into practice what they learnt.

In addition, of all the events I've organised at One Alfred Place, I have never received so much unsolicited thanks and positive feedback as I did following this. I'd recommend Andy's services - whether for presentations or more intimate training sessions - wholeheartedly.
