What his clients say about John...

Noel Rocks from Speak Out recently received the following correspondence from Kirsteen Eydmann, Convention Management Service of Edinburgh.

“I just want to pass on my thanks to you for recommending John Bell to speak at our conference. We had wonderful feedback for him on the day, and many delegates actually took the time to go up to him after his presentation to say it was the best presentation they had ever heard.

John himself was an absolute pleasure to work with; he was very flexible with his time, and happy to come along early to meet with delegates and stay after his presentation to mingle and to allow us to take some photographs. I will definitely recommend him to other event organisers looking for a motivational speaker in the future.”

They were still talking about him

"John fulfilled the brief exactly and provided a very thought provoking,
motivational and entertaining talk. The fact that he arrived the night
before and mixed with the delegates to get their views and then
adapted his talk speaks volumes in itself. Two months after the
meeting they were still talking about him."

Neil Kearney, Senior Medical Representative, AstraZeneca

Flexibility and commitment

"Your flexibility & commitment to ensuring we get the
best from sessions is exemplary. As I am responsible for the organisation
of these meetings I have to depend on the right person to do the
right job and you have always been spot on!"

Carolyn O’Neil, GlaxoSmithKline

Repeated quality

"Once again we would like to thank you for lively contribution to the Edinburgh meeting. We are absolutely delighted at the success. Again feedback from the diabetes specialist nurses has been extremely positive. The statistics show 100% of the delegates rated John Bell's presentation as Very Good or Excellent."

Nicola Brett, Professional Relations Manager, Novo Nordisk Limited

Learning whilst having fun

"John Bell has delivered our highly successful communication skills program for a number of years. He is both an educator and entertainer, and as a result ensures that our delegates learn whilst having a fun experience. For me, there can be no better way to learn.

John is a true professional that has special something which constantly attracts high delegate evaluation scores and comments such as Brilliant. More of the same please."

Preparation

"I was able to meet John beforehand and have input to the structure of the day and the content of his presentation. The feedback from the staff attending the course was extremely good, and they very much appreciated the lengths that both parties had gone to, to ensure a fun and helpful session."

An expert in communication that entertains

"Many thanks for your contribution to the successful year TTA has had in organising clients' events. Last year was another exceptional year and guess who topped the scores in our delegate evaluation questionnaires? - Yes, Mr. J Bell. Well done John this is the fourth year running and not once did your scores fall below 4.7 out of 5 for content or 4.8 for presentation.

One would expect an expert in communication to present well but you go one step further, you also ENTERTAIN. As important to us is the fact that our clients ask for more - long may it last."

Paul Turner, M.D, TTA International. (Conference Organisers)

Searing insights

"John Bell comes from outside the health service to offer us searing insights. He is entertaining, interesting, challenging and genuinely informative. General practitioners, especially those in leadership roles, cannot fail to benefit from a session with John."

Professor Mike Pringle, then Chairman of Council, Royal College of General Practitioners, UK.

Always received excellent evaluations

“As Project Officer responsible for delivering the 'Continuing Professional Development' (CPD) programme for primary care staff …including General Practitioners, Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses, Community Nurses and Health Visitors, General Practice Managers, Admin and Clerical staff from general practice and within the PCT.. I organise a monthly event, which attracts on average between 80-100 delegates. John Bell has spoken on several occasions, giving talks on 'why people don't listen', ‘zero tolerance’, ‘time management’ and is due to talk to our GPs and nurses in November.

His presentations have always received excellent evaluations and his presentations have been effective motivators for staff.

The PCT's Chief Executive remarked that he had never laughed so much whilst learning from an interesting, informative and entertaining speaker - which of course was John Bell. I have no hesitation in recommending John as a Conference Speaker.”

Jan Dennis Projects Officer, Ashfield Primary Care Trust

The confidence he installed in them

"It was another great success where you engaged our customers in a really practical & fun day. They took so much away from the day that two of the nurses have now chaired meetings for us and that is testament to the confidence you instilled in them. The excellent level of professionalism you have shown is consistent and not to be undervalued and is in particular hugely appreciated by myself.

As I am responsible for the organisation of these meeting I have to depend on the right person to do the right job and you have always been spot on!"

Carolyn O'Neil, GlaxoSmithKline

Many occasions - large PR events

"I have used John on many occasions when organising large PR events. He
regularly obtains the highest feedback scores of all the speakers, and is a superb complement to what is generally a large clinical programme.

My customers now ask for John by name! Although I sometimes ask John to repeat a topic he has previously covered, he always manages to repackage it freshly, so people who have attended the lectures before, still get something new.

John always figures in my thinking when planning future events.”

Andy Smith, Senior Area Sales Manager, GlaxoSmithKline

A regular very popular speaker

"Each year the Postgraduate Centre at Charing Cross Hospital runs a high profile national course for General Practitioners. We usually have 80 participants and John Bell has been a regular and very popular speaker at this course. His talks cover various behavioural signs, which make them relevant to General Practice and are delivered in a very amusing and entertaining way. Many participants request that we invite him back to speak again and so he has become a regular feature on our course."
