Philip Hesketh

‘WOW! That’s probably the best way of summing up the feedback I’ve had after your speech on Tuesday. It went down a storm! Given the queue of people waiting to talk to you afterwards, it might have been Ralph McTell on stage. Thank you so much for your contribution to a very successful day. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we all did.

‘I think we’ve all attended 'motivational' talks before - and I was expecting the same 'Gung Ho' attitude - BUT, this WAS different, the participation and positive thoughts that you left us with have made a difference. Absolutely first class.’

‘You have a unique ability to communicate the relevant gems in an engaging way. I have had nothing but excellent praise from both clients and colleagues.’

‘You really raised the awareness of our brand values and relationships and challenged their mindsets that price is the driving factor in the sales process. We’ve used you in Paris, Prague, Killarney and Birmingham and I’m sure we’ll use you many times in the future as you bring the learning experience alive.’

‘My sales force and managers absolutely loved what you did. One of those who had seen you before commented that "you were much better this time." So either you were rubbish then and we didn't notice or you are getting better at it all the time - I seem to think the latter.....My thanks for a fourth great day.’

‘The course was challenging and absorbing and I really did learn to present without the help of notes or visual aids. It will certainly improve my personal impact when I present in the future!’

'This was unlike any other course I have attended. In education terms – fantastic! Exceeded my expectations.’

‘I was spellbound…I could have listened to Phil all night….I didn’t want the session to end…ever!’

‘Fascinating. Grabbed my attention as soon as he walked through the door until we finished the day. Thought provoking stuff!’

‘What a fantastic end to a very successful meeting. You captivated the audience for the full duration of your talk, which is such a difficult thing to do when orthodontists have sat through a day and a half of lectures. Fantastic! Many thanks again.’

‘I never thought it was possible to learn and laugh out loud at the same time until I heard Philip Hesketh. The man’s a star’

‘Witty, entertaining, thought provoking and highly relevant to today’s business world.’

'One of the best courses (if not the best) I have ever attended. A truly inspirational speaker.'

‘The only thing the Area managers said they didn’t like was that the three hours were over so quickly. I am sure that given more time it would have been even more beneficial.’

‘The feedback from the management team was universally positive. Superb content coupled with excellent delivery meant there was something for everyone – an incredibly valuable session’

'All of the team were unequivocal in their praise for what you said and how you delivered it. It was a most stimulating session. You kept up a quick fire stream of anecdotes and stories that all had a meaning and you kept us all entertained and informed. Absolutely first rate.'

‘The course was easily the most enjoyable, entertaining, interesting, informative and relevant I have attended in 18 years in pensions. It was uncanny how many of the scenarios triggered off things in my mind and the discussions etc are all certainly things I can introduce in my everyday life.’

‘An extremely useful day. Our professional staff were very impressed by your entertaining but focused approach to the psychology of selling. I very much appreciate how you carefully planned each session to suit the audience and brought in appropriate anecdotes and examples.’

‘Congratulations on your great presentation to my sales team. In particular, one of the things I liked was the way you made it very relevant and personal to all the team. It is still being discussed and anecdotes still recalled.’

'You distilled a lifetime's knowledge and experience into one day. I can't think of a more enjoyable way to cover such important content. Excellent.'

‘I found the two days very inspiring and useful. You have a real gift in getting your message over and a very dry wit, which made the two days so enjoyable. I will use a lot of what you shared and I have certainly recommended this to others that I work with.’

'Thought provoking, entertaining, relevant, highly instructive and plenty of 'nuggets' to take away.'

‘Entertaining over 50 self-employed consultants is no mean feat; spellbinding them for 90 minutes is something quite out of the ordinary. A wonderful mix of pathos, incisive insight and humour. We are looking forward to having you back.’

'I imagine that most of your success derives from your unwavering sense of purpose and positive mental attitude which is as infectious as it is inspiring. I have no hesitation in linking specific and significant improvements in sales results to your advice.’

‘It must be one of the few courses I’ve been to that has kept my rapt attention for two whole days.’

‘Your presentation at the Newsquest Senior Management Conference was 'pitched' perfectly for what could have been a challenging audience. Your attention to detail, understanding and professionalism simply couldn't be faulted.’

'An entertaining, enjoyable and extremely valuable day.'

'Excellent day, very inspirational'

‘Realistic, practical and above all, useable’

‘This was the best course I have ever attended. Philip Hesketh was an excellent presenter’

‘Thank you for your inspiring and humorous opening contribution to our event - great feedback from the team - we could have listened all morning! It got us off to a great start and everyone went into the day feeling fired-up about what we could achieve.’

‘Never known a day go quicker…100% relevant.’

'You are an inspiring individual'

'Our conference delegates were really impressed by your penetrating insights. Phil, you have a unique ability to engage your audience. Your huge charm, wit and intellect always hits the spot.’

‘You are an excellent speaker. The ability to hold the attention of an audience throughout a whole day is a massive skill and you did it in an entertaining, clear and very enjoyable way.’

'Entertaining and inspiring'

‘Philip you are, without doubt, the most dynamic, entertaining and yet insightful presenter I have ever had the pleasure of booking. You did your research thoroughly and completely understood the message we were trying to communicate to our sales force, hence the reason we're inviting you back again for a return visit to this year’s conference."

'That's my boy'

'I have had tremendous feedback from all my sales team and sales management alike and, having been in the business for nearly twenty years, I have never heard a speaker deliver a topic related to sales like you delivered yours'.

‘Such an amazing way to learn. Exceeded my expectations’

‘The Peter Kay of the business world’

'Probably the most useful day I have ever spent.'

‘An upbeat, interesting and enthusiastic day that creates a confidence for persuasion in both personal and business life’

‘Inspirational two days, not only for business ethics but for personal development.’

'I received universal acclaim for your talk to the team. Humorous, well planned and highly personal; thank goodness no PowerPoint. Much more to the point was that the content was highly relevant to us on an individual and team basis. People were absorbed and caused to rethink. I wouldn't want to change anything. Thank you.'

‘An excellent session on some very important subjects. More importantly this was done in such a way that you could relate it to real life – it’s not just theory!’

‘Excellent presentation. Easy to start implementing the information. To me Philip is the best speaker on the planet.’

‘Sure sent them away with a smile and a message. Your score across the 554 delegates was 9/10 with 47% ranking you 10 out of 10! Just the job!’

'Fantastic presentation! Thought provoking, hugely entertaining and an inspiration to us all.'

‘I think it will be a long time before I spend a day which has a bigger impact on my view of how to effectively persuade, sell and influence.’

‘This is the best seminar I have ever attended. My expectations were not managed – they were exceeded by far!’

‘I thought the day was fantastic – brilliant insight into human behaviour plus great stories and brilliant analogies’

‘Learned lots. Speaker very engaging. Thank God role-plays were at an absolute minimum. The two-day course was excellent.’

‘Thoroughly enjoyable day that challenged some old understandings and provided insights onto the future.’

‘A different take on the persuasion process which gives me a new insight into the subject.’

"Very good. I was riveted the whole time."

"A non-threatening, fun, learning experience. Philip is very engaging, providing practical tools. "

"The day was superb. I've never laughed as much during a seminar as I did that day".

"A highly entertaining and informative speaker. I very much enjoyed his 5 key principles approach and have started using some of them in my business and personal relationships."

"The seminar has a great flow. The practical and theory tied together in a very understandable way."

"I have started to use a lot of the tips that Philip gave me. They work!!!!"

"It was fantastic! Phil was hugely entertaining and our customers loved it."

"To say that Philip grabs you by the throat and challenges your beliefs is an understatement. Armed with a guitar and Good old Northern English wit he entertains and broadcasts his message, without ever losing his audience’s interest."

"Philip is an excellent speaker that has the ability to hold my attention and really makes you think about using the tools he had talked about through the day."

"A great learning experience which complements the selling skills I have."

"A back to basics approach that I’ve been missing lately"
