Best speaker I've ever heard. Great knowledge. Great experience. Great connection with the audience. Definitely a 10 out of 10!
Jon’s a brilliant, energising speaker…one of the best workshops I've ever attended.
Great fun. Thought-provoking. Jon’s take on content is super insightful and inspiring.
One of the best sessions to date, not only for the content, but for Jon's prep work. It's a pity that the class was online and not in person.
