Speaking Testimonials:
Sean Weafer attended as a guest speaker at a recent Bank of Ireland Leadership event I organised for my colleagues. He was truly impressive and he delivered a specific module tailored to our needs from The High Trust Advisor Series. He communicated the skills in a way that was easily understood and could be put into practice. We were delighted by the positive impact Sean had on the event and I would highly recommend him to any business owners, corporate firms & associations for a master class.
I would like to say a huge thanks to Sean for his recent presentation to our management team in Travelodge Ireland. The professionalism, experience and motivating style of communication that Sean conveys are second to none. The team left feeling energised and confident with the additional knowledge and processes highlighted in Sean's presentation. Thoroughly excellent throughout and thanks again Sean!
I saw Sean speaking on numerous occasions. In Vancouver, Canada, as the closing speaker of an international convention. The same event confirmed him again as the opening speaker for the same international meeting some years later. I also saw him speak in Dublin, Ireland, and Manchester and London, England, sometimes facing very tough audiences and settings. One of these challenges was that he delivered a keynote from sitting within the audience, spotlight on him, delivering a brilliant speech ending with one of the many standing ovations he received when I saw him. Sean is a master of his craft. I highly recommend working with him.
