Official Testimonials

Ann Daniels is regularly booked to engage audiences at virtual events, read their latest feedback below:

“The key message I took away was about our challenging environment and I thought her approach was very refreshing- don’t waste time/ energy getting angry about the environment you are in and the challenges you face but instead start planning how you are going to deal with them. I think this is relevant for us all at work and outside work”- HSBC

“What can we say other than you are a true inspiration and made an educational leadership conference have a sense of excitement and uniqueness because of your after-dinner contribution. It is no mean feat to engage such a large group of individuals, where a pin could be heard to drop, with such finesse, passion and charm. When you arrived, it was to a group of strangers and when you left, it was from a group of friends with great admiration and respect for your immense determination, spirit and achievements. The standing ovation was a reflection of that”- AET National Conference

“I wanted to congratulate you on your excellent talk at the awards ceremony and luncheon. Not only was the content fascinating but your delivery captivated everyone in the audience and enhanced the overall atmosphere of the event. I could have listened to you for hours”- M&G Investments

“Ann was the best speaker we’ve had in the ten year’s I’ve been booking speakers. She was motivational and relevant to the current challenges we face in the workplace today. She inspired us all to strive to achieve so much more, individually and together as a team.”
