Feedback from a Delegate about Darren as a Business Speaker
“I thought you should know you’re absolutely smashing! Since Thursday I have taught my accountant lady the “If you, then I” technique (I made her draw something to remind her!).
My PA now knows all about the Cabbage Butterfly. Also, yesterday I saw a friend whose daughter is at Uni struggling to remember lecturers. I told her all about the Keepers technique, she was away to phone her daughter straight away.
It wasn’t just me that benefitted from attending your session, I have passed tips on to three different people and they, in turn, have promised to help others. It’s like a movement and all started by you.
Thanks so much for your session last week, I am sure it had as much of an impact on the others as it did on me!!”
