“An Edinburgh business audience can sometimes be a challenging one but the level of engagement and participation that you enjoyed was testament to the quality of your delivery and the content level itself. I think that everybody is intrigued by entrepreneurs who have started with nothing more than an idea and taken that business concept to global proportions…………….your story was a fascinating one made all the more interesting by your humour and authentic delivery.”
Robin Carson, RBS
“Deirdre Bounds was, without doubt, one of the best speakers I have ever heard and certainly one of the most motivational when it came to sharing her story with our readers at a “SHE Means Business lunch” in Henley-on-Thames in Nov 2009. With her background as a stand-up comic, I knew she would have no problems standing up in front of a new crowd and her turn of phase can be highly amusing.”
Lara Dunn, SHE Business Experiences
“It was a master class in every sense of the word! The feedback from the delegates was incredibly positive. I had an Action Learning Set in the evening and all we talked about were the points you raised.”
Tom Gorman, Runshaw Business School
