Your Next Keynote Speaker

Great session with Stefan today, very valuable life-changing networking advice that I would recommend to all. Thank you!

I came to Stef with a specific issue as I was aware of his track record but also aware that his approach is just what I needed. Stef has managed to find the right balance between firm and fair. The issues are dealt with as opportunities rather than problems but he treated the inviduals as being part of the solution. His pleasant but professional manner instills confidence in those he is coaching, and also those who recognise that their team need help from an experienced professinal outside of their organisation.

I booked Stefan for my Kick Off event - confident that in front of our audience of 2500 partners he would help them all to network more effectively. Our audience loved him and since that event we have booked Stefan several times since, and he has created video training for our intranet too.

Stef delivered an inspiring session on professional networking to my final-year students at Oxford Brookes. It was spot on in terms of addressing the key issues students are concerned about in trying to network effectively in order to enter the world of work, and audience engagement was high. Stef's manner is warm and approachable, and he made what is an 'out of comfort zone' subject area for many, seem much more relatable and achievable. Thank you, Stef!

An essential part of business life is the ability to network. An essential part of managing a large team is helping them to be comfortable with the concept and with the practicalities of networking. Stefan ran a full day workshop with my national specialist legal relationship management team. The focus for the day was building trust and Stefan tailored the day to be relevant to the roles of the audience ensuring that the day was guided but not scripted this allowing the day to flow to help address the needs of the attendees. Feedback from the team was extremely positive and I have no hesitation in recommending Stefan to anyone thinking about running a similar workshop.

Stefan gave an excellent presentation to over 200 Brethertonians at our first staff conference. Our staff were educated, motivated and entertained and at the conclusion were specifically asking for copies of Stefans book. A good job well done.

I recently booked Stefan to speak at my BNI Big Breakfast. Stefan is a professional to work with and he had the audience captivated. His communication was excellent allowing us to prepare for the event accurately. On the day he arrived early and stayed for the whole event (he was still there talking to the last people even as I left). He made himself available to talk to the many people who wanted to follow up with him. I would have every confidence in booking Stefan again and recommend him for your event,

I worked with Stef on his book, Business Networking For Dummies. Not only is Stef a fantastic writer, he’s an expert networker (of course) and a talented speaker. His advice is practical, honest, and easy to implement – providing the tools that business owners need to make networking ‘work’ for them. It is clear that he practices what he preaches and his approach to networking will appeal to anyone wishing to avoid the ‘sell, sell, sell’ mentality. Stef is a pleasure to deal with – he’s friendly, upbeat in the face of tough deadlines, and extremely reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again and I strongly recommend his services as a writer, speaker and trainer.

We invited Stefan to come and speak at our aspiring managers networking event. This programme is something that people who want promotion apply for in order to gain more experience to then be more prepared for the next role they go for. As a public sector organisation, we don’t necessarily network as much outside as we maybe should so I considered asking someone to speak to them about the benefits of networking would be a good idea. Stefan did an excellent job and introduced some concepts to our staff, it was a great event and we’ve already had some staff joint LinkedIn as a result so it definitely worked! Thanks so much for coming and bringing your energy on the subject!

A wonderful human and top notch speaker, great to deal with both in the build up to the event and onsite, very personable and excellent at what he does. Hope to work with you again soon!
