Phil Boas

Head of Sponsorship and Events, E.ON UK

“Anna did a fantastic job of bringing to life how the lessons learnt as an elite athlete can be transferred into the work place to help cope with the constant pressure and change we face – there was a real buzz in the room after her presentation and feedback has been excellent with several people asking to contact Anna directly to thank her for such an inspirational presentation. This sort of response is not easy to get from a roomful of marketing professionals!”

– for example, clear vision and goal, visualisation, focus, preparation….a compelling story, the intonation in your voice was well received. You maintained a wonderful rapport with the audience created through rhythm and pace. Thank you for a very engaging presentation."

Daniel Wood

Events and Marketing Manager, Service Desk Institute (SDI) Annual Conference 2010

"There was not one negative comment in the delegate feedback - incredible! The feedback shows that you not only met, but far exceeded objectives and expectations. You left the audience wanting more. Your presenation hit the spot not only from a personal point of view but also from a practical 'how to manage/inspire my team better' point of view. The audience was able to take key messages away with them and do something with them in the office, so a great return on investment for them.

Your presentation style was also excellent - the right balance of humour vs seriousness, delivered very clearly and pleasant to listen to. The entire audience was engaged right from the start and were on the edge of their seats by the end. We would recommend you to everybody!"

Anna Hemmings is one of the most extraordinary people I have ever met. To win one world championship is something special. To win six is a feat beyond the comprehension of most of us. Who could fail to learn and be inspired by someone with such drive and commitment."
