“Gavin was an outstanding keynote speaker at our recent Sales Conference. His ability to engage the audience was unparalleled, making him one of our top-rated speakers ever. Gavin is not only entertaining but also thought-provoking and inspiring. He challenged our team to think differently about their approach to business, providing actionable insights that are able to be implemented immediately. His dynamic presentation style kept everyone captivated from start to finish, and the feedback from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive. We look forward to working with Gavin and the team for future events!”
“We all got to witness a communications masterclass. Gavin Oattes delivered the best 60-minute keynote I have ever seen. The message, the delivery, the cadence, the energy, the story-telling, the laughs. But it certainly wasn’t stand-up – no, the message was real, it was honest and raw in places. It was stunning. No slides. No notes. Just passion and pure mastery. Over the last 48 hours that speech keeps coming back into my head, and I’ve heard people from across the team talking about it and what it meant to them. People have started meetings talking about it. People have ended meetings talking about it. That’s the power of communications.”
“Gavin’s session helped us lift our heads and focus on the importance of the jobs we do and the difference we make. Getting people to reflect and laugh at the same time is a true skill, which resulted in people leaving the session motivated and discussing what they had just experienced.”
