Laura Vosper, Head of Legal Marketing, LexisNexis -
Neil gave an excellent presentation to my clients in London on how to be more effective with networking skills to support their career management. He certainly knows the subject and I would have no hesitation in hiring him again.“
Martin McDonnell, Senior Consultant LHH/DBM (Career Outplacement Services) -
Neil was an inspiring speaker during our Philips 2013 global conference with participants from across the globe (Europe, US, Asia, Latam). One of the main challenges for each individual in our team is to actively take ownership of our professional career. Even if you are a “reluctant networker” he demonstrated how you can be very effective in leveraging your networks. The team very much appreciated Neil’s engaging and interactive style. He provided us with great insights and practical examples how to make the best out of our network.”

Neil is an inspirational speaker on networking with participants really valuing his honest, down-to-earth approach to the subject.
