What Claire Brumby's clients say
"Claire delivered a fantastic keynote speech at our annual training day. It was really inspiring to learn about her journey, and she openly shared the lessons that she has learnt along the way. She provided practical tips for us on building our business as a whole and our careers as individuals. I can thoroughly recommend Claire as a professional motivational speaker."
"Claire attended our event and was exactly the breath of fresh air we needed; it was a brilliant way to celebrate our programme. She was engaging, emotive and inspirational, leaving all our guests feeling empowered by the end of the session. I am so pleased that we chose to go with Claire, everything she said resonated with someone, and she really brought the key topics to life. An hour with her is not enough, Claire has so much to offer, and we would definitely want to see her again. a huge thank you from all of us."
"We recently had Claire join us to share her very personal and authentic story as part of a motivational team day. Claire’s raw honesty connected with the audience and inspired the tone for the offsite with my management team. Claire ran an exercise with the team and then presented her inspirational Keynote which she tailored to our overall purpose; to enable high performing team play. I would highly recommend Claire as an engaging, funny and sincere motivational speaker."
"I thought it was one of the best sessions, great to get an outside voice. Claire gave a lovely mix of professional and personal examples of challenges she faced and how she dealt with them. I particularly liked her “brag file”. She speaks very naturally and with such passion that it did bring tears to my eyes!"
"I found Claire’s session really useful. To hear from an external speaker was refreshing and Claire’s background and how she overcame the challenges she has faced, both professionally and personally, were really inspiring. Claire also shared some practical tips that help create the foundation for a positive mindset which I will be sure to implement myself."
"I thought hearing about Claire’s experience was very inspiring and also relatable. It was great to be hearing about resilience and a positive mindset from a businesswoman, as well as someone who is into extreme sports and also just from her perspective as a woman and a mother. As she was talking, what really resonated with me was who you surround yourself with (are they giving positive energy out or taking your energy from you) and how you want to show up to others. I’m sure there was a different message and take out for everyone because Claire’s talk was very thought-provoking."
"As part of our Company Conference to both celebrate 2022, we ran behaviour sessions to help set our team up for success and to Thrive in 2023. As part of my session, Claire join me to facilitate “The Power of a Positive Mindset” stage, both Claire’s business and life experiences resonated and engaged with our audiences as both were very much related to our business, and given we ran the session four times in the afternoon, each session Claire captured their full attention! and I couldn’t have been happier with how these sessions went on the day, Many Thanks Claire."

I took control of my life again, created my A/B/C goals and within 3 weeks I have moved to another city with a promotion and trust me I’m raring to go.

Really good few hours and gave me plenty of food for thought. An impactful yet very relatable, humble lady who followed her dream; meeting Claire will help drive me to achieve goals both in my personal life & in business. I found the presentation from Claire inspiring and helpful. It was great to hear her journey and the challenges she faced and overcome. Also, Claire has given us food for thought on how to drive our brand awareness which has challenged our way of thinking. Inspiring, resilient and heart-warming."
