Feedback
Here are some of the comments from Manley's audiences...
"I would like to thank you very much for your efforts at our Year
Start meeting for our Senior Management and Sales teams in January
in Nottingham.
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive with 96% of the people who
responded to the survey rating you as “good” or “excellent” as
a guest speaker.
Here are some of the comments from the event satisfaction survey:
“ Manley was outstanding”
“ Manley Hopkinson was excellent as a guest speaker”

“ Excellent guest speaker, very motivational!!!!!”
“
Good content of day – Manley was excellent”
“ Thought external speaker was excellent and very relevant”
“ Guest speakers very motivational”

“
I have seen Manley’s presentation at a previous event, full story
of around the world trip would have been better than including the
Artic trip”
Thanks very much for making such a great impact on our audience!"

Internal Communications Manager

Thanks again for yesterday, I thought your presentation
was great with some really powerful messages. Also I could tell the
delegates enjoyed it from the number of questions they asked at the
end!
I’ve already passed your details onto another member
of the team this morning, so hopefully that will come to something.
I hope
to work with you again in the future.
Lynn Nicholson, Barclays
"Many, many thanks for your presentation yesterday. It
was truly inspiring.
Everyone said that they had enjoyed it immensely, and most importantly
were able to take away some excellent advice, tools and techniques
around leadership.
I look forward to meeting you again in the future and hope that you
will consider delivering a further event for us - as soon as I've sorted
some new dates out."
Diane Anslow,
Leadership Development Manager
"Thank you very much for speaking at our event last month.
We have received some fantastic feedback from our delegates and I personally
found your session very moving and inspiring.
We produce an evaluation
report for all our events and the delegates scored you very highly.
Here
are the delegate comments relating to your presentation;
- Some fascinating
insights from Manley & useful nuggets about leadership.
Excellent presentation, thank you!
- Very interesting & inspiring.
- Manley's presentation was very timely as I start a new job as CEO
in 3 days time. I needed a quick resume of leadership to give me a
boost
for Monday."
Kristie Scott-Woodham, The Work Foundation
"I
had great intentions of writing a ‘proper’ letter
to you to say thank you on behalf of all of us for your really outstanding
talk on Friday. As ever, time slips by and I haven’t managed
to get round to it; so I am afraid that a hastily typed email will
have to do instead!!
We all thought your talk was superb. For us it was
one of the highlights of our year and we were all very proud to be
hosting you. Grafters
is a relatively new business and you added a huge amount of credibility
to us."
James Baker, Grafters
"Just
a quick text to say, thank you for such an impressive presentation
last Thursday for Thames Valley Police. It
is easy to lose focus as a trainer after 6 years coaching, but your
talk brought back my personal desire not to accept mediocrity in what
I do. A big thank you" Andy Fenner, Thames Valley Police
- Police Driving Instructor
Thanks
very much for coming to speak at the Conference - you went down
extremely well and have provided enormous discussion.
You
have a real ability to capture the audience and really engage with
them - everyone was with you - which is a real skill particularly
given the diversity of our audience. It was great to meet you ...
Thanks
again Manley - enjoy the bank holiday." Sarah
Rogers, Accreditation and Quality Manager, Learning and Development,
Thames Valley Police
“Good
evening Mr Hopkinson,
Well
what a breath of fresh air you were on Wednesday 26th April at
our HR conference!
You had the "meerkat" effect
on all of my team from Glasgow. The "meerkat" effect is when
people sit up straight, concentrate, pay attention and do the long
neck thing to get a better look! You have probably heard all this before
and the feedback you get is no doubt amazing or else you wouldn't be
doing what you do!
Loved
your natural flair, gift or whatever you want to call it that you
have
for story telling. Loved your story and re-told
it to my mum
a couple of days later. On her hearing about your team's achievements,
bad luck and Skippy (she has been through the same thing 3 times now)
she was actually moved to tears! She asked me a couple of questions, "what
happened to them where did they finish in the race?" .... "why
was trout called "trout"?" .... "what
other intrepid adventures has this young man been on?" .... "where
did he go to school???????" ....
I
wasn't able to answer these questions because, if I'm not
mistaken they had the bloody cheek to cut you off in the prime of your
story!!!!....which left us feeling a little short changed and slightly
disgruntled.
She
then asked "what else did they say at the conference....???".
To be quite honest I had to tell her I could barely remember a thing
anyone else said .... apart from we need to make so much more money
in 2007 ....
So, any answers to the above would be greatly appreciated!!
Yours
sincerely .... a slightly disgruntled, feeling short
changed but hey, still inspired .... Lesley." Training
Team Manager, Operational Learning & Development,
Retail Division, RBS
"It
was a pleasure to meet you and to hear your presentation. We've had
a great deal of positive feedback - people enjoyed it tremendously.
We only occasionally treat ourselves to a guest speaker and you really
made the day for us." Martin
Trott, Executive Officer to the Serjeant at Arms, House of Commons
"I
expected no less from you!! The reports coming back to me about the
weekend are that all of the customers who attended have decided to move
all their business .......to BT !!
Thank you for helping to make the weekend so much fun for our guests,
and our own people. All the feedback I have received has been very positive.
Customers and hosts have remarked that this was truly a memorable and
inspirational occasion.
The effort you both put into making our first pan European hospitality
event such a success was really appreciated. Apparently the customers
that attended want a repeat event every quarter!" Phil London,
Marketing Communications, BT Global Services
"Everybody
got a great deal from your presentation yesterday and equally as
much from your enthusiasm
and energy as an individual and a leader - you have certainly given
them a lot of food for thought.
I am convinced that your presentation and personal style could benefit
and inspire many of our young budding leaders and I am sure we will
be in touch in the future for more of the same." Karl Fisher,
Project Venture Barclays Bank PLC
"You
went down a storm with all our Management they were enthralled
with
your voyage and the elements you came across. I would not hesitate
to recommend you to anyone who needed a speaker at their venue." Chris
Abram, B&Q West Division Managers Conference
