Working with you was a joy. We briefed you carefully about our intended audience's likely concerns which you carefully integrated into a draft presentation. You were happy to finetune and adapt to ensure that we were completely satisfied. The three chosen themes could have all been the subject of a full day in their own right, but you managed to encapsulate the key issues in a lucid and fascinating 30 minutes.<br><br>Your visuals were excellent, enhancing what we heard. You're a fluent and thoughtful speaker. who went the extra mile to do a great job. It is rare to find a keynote speaker so willing to listen and adapt to our needs. Our audience, tired at the end of a long congress, found you thought-provoking and engaging. Your passion for your subject shines through and I believe you'd do a fantastic job speaking for any organisation who wanted to hear about future trends and technology.

I really enjoyed your presentation. I have seen a few futurists before, as well as some "experts" talking about AI and Leadership, and they all left me feeling that I hadn't learned anything. However, I was extremely engaged by what you had to say and am actively trying to incorporate your insights into how I work.

Stephen Swift Ford

Matt O’Neill, I am not given to being insincere, so when I say it was a fascinating, engaging keynote, you can be assured I mean it! Great job, I need to be more ‘mind fluid.’
