"Jamie Edwards has a unique approach that transcends across business, sport and professional services. Ultimately, business is about performance; performance is about people. Jamie brings a wealth of experience gained from his background as a performance coach and outstanding leadership & development professional to his audience. His session on 'Thinking Differently - Intuition and practical decision making' was thought provoking, and rich in content. Engaging in delivery, he brings real-world experiences and delivers practical tools and techniques that can be used today. "...The best day yet..." was a comment made by one participant on the programme, which summed up the value add Jamie brought to our team effort."
"It is with great pleasure that I do it as his contribution was very much recognized by the delegates of our conference BPM LISBON 2015, held in Lisbon last May. Barry talk was about Change in people vs strategy alignment. That session was greatly appreciated by the delegates because of the enthusiastic way of his presentation and the way he involved the participants in the discussion. His assessment was 68% for “6” and 23% for “5” in a scale of 1 to 6. In this context, I am pleased to recommend Barry as a speaker for the "Speakers Academy".
