Testimonials
“Conor is an excellent communicator, insightful and engaging. He has spoken at two of our largest conferences and on both occasions the reaction he received from those present was hugely positive. Not alone did Conor have an effortless command of the topics in question, he was able to shape both presentations to ensure that the content was directly relevant to the audience. His personable, relaxed style ensured that there was a great deal of engagement with the attendees. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other organisations looking for an informed, engaging keynote speaker”.u00a0 u2013 Kieran McDonnell, Irish League of Credit Unions (May 2017)
