"An online event with Jamie is really an awesome experience. His drive, interactivity, and sense of humor makes the audience instantly fall in love with him. He recently hosted a series of webinars for my senior sales managers. Sales people aren't the most easy to please and can be easily distracted. But they were completely engaged by the fascinating content and level of dialogue. The way that Jamie involves people in a virtual session is really impressive – it really made the time fly. It just feels Jamie is in the room with you."
"It is not often you get Scandinavians to stand up and interact as much as you did during your presentation - great to watch! The "meat" of the presentation also stuck with the audience I believe - I for one will try to stop and think about how to solve a task before jumping to the easiest solution or the "way I've always done it."
"Our delegates loved Jamie – he was rated as the best speaker of the day! The insights gained from his presentations are invaluable – in life and work. He made a lasting impression. It was also such a pleasure making the arrangements with Jamie, he was very accommodating."
