Tom really did his homework, and communicated really well before, during and after the event. I was particularly impressed with the care he took to make his talk relatable to the issues faced by our clients right now, and how he could help in that regard. He took the time to arrive early, and sit in on a few modules from the event to get the feel of the audience, which took his talk to the next level. He even participated in the lunch, mingling with clients and getting to know them. The clients fed back that he was an awesome guy, very down to earth and generous with his time. His talk was world class, humorous, topical, heartfelt and punchy. Personally, it was my favourite part of the event. I was blown away by his professionalism and commitment to excellence.
