Testimonials

"An uplifting and motivational address which inspired the audience..." to challenge their own perceptions of what's achievable through a combination of clear goal setting, hard work and determination...Leon's presentation was one of the high points of a very successful conference"

"I am writing to you to express my thanks for your motivational speech that you gave recently in Dublin . The members of Million Dollar Round Table and the LIA in Ireland are a well motivated bunch of people anyway, so for you to get the attendees excited and motivated is a reflection of the quality of your speech and the presentation of it. It was done with a natural flair that involved what was obviously a lot of preparation and professionalism.

To any one reading this who wants to know if Leon is suitable as a speaker I want to recommend him highly as he undertakes the task of speaking to an audience as if he is 10 meters above them about to take the most important dive of his career and he did it with ease. He is a professional, a courteous and most of all a nice person to deal with. He would receive a perfect 10 from this judge."

"I am delighted to provide a testimonial for Leon Taylor. Leon is an excellent ambassador for his sport. He has natural inter-personal skills and an aptitude for communicating the realities of life as an elite performer. He is at ease with well-informed audiences and also has an ability to distil and disseminate technical knowledge in a manner that offers the lay person an insight into his world. He is the embodiment of an impressive young champion."

Wilma Shakespear

National Director, English Institute of Sport

"Leon Taylor was a breath of fresh air when he spoke recently at our Conference. He told with real and unaffected excitement about winning the Silver Medal at the Athens Olympics, outlined the tough regime and mental determination needed for success at the highest levels and relished sharing insider information and celebrity sightings from the Olympic Village.

Leon ’s delivery was pitched exactly right for the audience and occasion and he charmed his listeners with a smile and a light touch of humour. We would definitely recommend him as an inspirational speaker for 6 th Form students and an amusing raconteur for adults."

Eve Pennell

International Round Table committee chair

"Leon Taylor came across very well and it was great to get a chance to speak to an Olympian personally and to speak to one of our Local Heroes. I think these events are not only important in bringing to life the good work we're doing with the Olympics, they're also very motivational and the messages that Leon Taylor gave out are relevant to everyone, whether they're involved in sport or not." Star of the show!!
Unbelievable feedback on you and your session. Your style, messaging and engagement, both on and off stage, was superb and you are the talk of the town this morning!! There are some great photos, the highlight being our double backward pike off the stage!! We will send you the disk via Andy. I particularly want to say thank you for the way you mingled so naturally with the team – this was so appreciated by everyone – and it is unusual for a guest speaker to get so ‘stuck in’ with the audience. In summary, you made the evening a tremendous success.
Thank you."
