Testimonials:
"Dear Nigel
I never let you know that ‘Be in the room’ is the best life/work message I have ever taken away from a speaker, whether preparing for a pitch or playing with my boys. Thanks!"
Jeremy Petty
"Dear Nigel
I attended a leadership workshop you delivered in Durham for County Durham and Darlington Foundation NHS Trust this year. I was inspired to follow through with some of the concepts you introduced on the day, like: be in the room, feed forward and its a zoo around here. I ordered your books the very next day.
I have encouraged many friends and colleagues to read all three as they have helped me enormously, in fact i immediately implemented the feed forward principle within my team, and also the celebrating success at the beginning of meetings, both were immeasurably successful. Thank-you.
The real reason for my writing, and I'm definitely not a stalker, was to thank you, as a result of reading the IMPACT CODE, I have been inspired to change my career, by defining my purpose, and chasing my passion not my pension!
I have worked as a Learning and Development Manager in the NHS for a number of years, and recently had become very dis-enchanted with the job and the NHS, after reading The IMPACT Code, I realised that the problem was me, not the job!
I set off chasing my passion. I have been offered a job in an industry I am passionate about, I have been able to make my hobby my career. I will be joining a local company as a Creative Development Manager, developing, designing and project managing new products for sale. Travelling the world to source products for the UK market and taking them onto shopping TV for sale.
I am so happy, my family life has improved also, as although I am busier, the time I am home is fun and qualitative.
Thank you so much for the inspiration."

"Nigel
I’m shattered and you are to partly to blame!
I’ve started to read The Impact Code and have putting ‘in the room’ into action. I’ve had two all day meetings this week, one being my monthly management performance meeting, the second being the first of our 2010 planning sessions. I have focussed on being in the room at both and wow what a difference. I’ve made much more of an effective and valid contribution than ever before, understood areas that I have usually switched off from and had comments like ‘wow you’re engaged today’. I see what you mean by how hard work it is, but what a difference it has made, I’ve had a blast!
I’ll continue to keep this going and build on things and am looking forward to delving deeper into the Impact Code"

"Nigel did the keynote speech at our forcewide conference; "Inspired to Lead". He was electric and touched the audience in a way which we have not seen done before. He was funny, challenging and insightful. The feedback was superb and I have received so many positive comments about the inspirational I.M.P.A.C.T. that he has had on the individuals who attended. He lit the blue touch paper of our senior leaders and retired...leaving us with a highly motivated team to point in the right direction.
I have no hesitation in scoring Nigel 10/10 and would strongly recommend him as a keynote for any organisation who wants to release the potential of their human capital."

"I have heard Nigel speak and because of what he said I was inspired to truly believe in myself and that I could achieve anything. So I set out to become the UK & Ireland Champion Speaker for 2 years in succession. I then went onto compete in the World International Speech Championship. I am now ranked 3rd in the world of public speaking. Thank you Nigel"
Eric Rainey
"OUTSTANDING! In the evaluations, you scored 94.4% for value to the member and 96.7% for your skill in communicating ideas. This is the second highest score of any speaker presenting to V427 in the last eight years. Well done! You had clearly spent some time studying the Members’ Profile that I had sent you and also retained the detail from members’ comments made during the course of the session. This enabled you to interact with the members in a very positive and meaningful way. Finally, for me you showed great skill in being both entertaining and humorous, whilst delivering substantive learning."
Keith H Millard

"I have had the privilege of seeing you on a number of occassions and it never ceases to amaze me re the power that you have over people - everyone of the 'give us your thoughts' forms i have had were bowled over with your enthusiasm, motivation, humour and persona - so again, my thanks. i have also reminded all those that attended about the 21 day commitment and an e mail will be winging its way to them on 21st feb to see how they got on. Always good to see you and to work with you, and its great to see the passion and the emjoyment in what you do - something that a number of people need to take on board!"

"I can honestly tell you that in eight years of being in TEC, we’ve never had a speaker rated 5.0 on a scale from 1 to 5 by every single person. Some tried to give you higher than 5, one person said 10, but Richard wouldn’t allow it."
