“We’ve worked with Personally Speaking on several key client events, and their attention to detail and creative approach always stand out. For our recent event, we wanted a speaker who would truly make an impact. After careful consideration, Joanne recommended Sir Bob Geldof , a choice that, while not immediately obvious, proved inspired. Drawing on her experience and understanding of our audience, Joanne delivered exactly what we needed: a powerful, thought-provoking presence that brought the ‘wow’ factor to our event.”
– Garreth Hayes, Senior Marketing Director for UK, Benelux & Ireland, Indeed
“I’ve worked with Frances Keane for several years on our Leadership Conference, and her expertise always adds real value. This year, I was considering a keynote speaker for our session on Leadership Resilience, but Frances suggested a panel instead. She curated an outstanding lineup—Olympian and Scientist & Entrepreneur Luke O’Neill. The mix of sport and science brought unique perspectives, delivering rich insights and real inspiration to our audience. It was a standout moment at our event.”
Mary O’Reilly, Vice President Inclusion & Organisational Effectiveness, ICON

In this day and age, working with people who are both professional and human is a privilege. ”
