We have booked Damian as a keynote speaker on many occasions. The audiences have found his presentations an engaging combination of inspiration and practical advice and I know that the messages have resonated for a long time after the events.
An evening with Damian was enlightening and energising. I came away buzzing with ideas and plans to improve my service to be the absolute best in our field. Reading the book was good but hearing him live was amazing.
Damian’s engaging and down-to-earth style have landed exceptionally well with our leadership conferences over the last couple of years. He continues to innovate and further refine his approach; tailoring his content to match our specific event outcomes.
Not only did Damian provide refreshing objectivity with thought provoking business & sporting anecdotes, but his insight also helped lead to a redefining approach. I would happily recommend taking the time to listen to Damian and/or reading any of his books for what I call his ‘injection of inspiration’.
