Sean Conway

"He tailored talks to meet our objectives, seamlessly absorbing our messages into his stories and providing inspiration and motivation to change, to develop and to grow. There was no fuss or apparent nervousness – he simply told the stories of his adventures in a way that made them accessible and achievable and inspired the audience to focus and deliver. Brilliant!"

"The audience LOVED it! I have had nothing but great feedback. He was honest, amusing and entertaining. I cannot think how he could have been better. We really enjoyed him coming along and talking to us."

"We had a great talk. The staff were really enthused by Sean. We've had loads of positive feedback. He was funny, engaging and of course, really inspiring and it all tied back in really well with our values campaign."

"Thank you on behalf of our Senior Leaders for your inspiring presentation to us. Everyone who saw and heard you enjoyed it immensely but did question your sanity for taking on such extreme challenges! I know that you will have inspired many of us to take up challenges either in a professional or personal capacity and indeed we will inspire others to do so as a result of your presentation. The theme of the presentation was personal resilience and you showed us that taking it one step at a time really helps to focus on the immediate challenge and that helps to build up endurance. You also showed us that failure is not an inhibitor but a motivator to succeed and to aim high."

"Please pass on our thanks to Sean for his brilliant talk. I loved his relaxed and funny manner. My business partner loved it too and I have heard only positive comments from the attendees. The audience certainly kept him busy afterwards with questions and photo opportunities and he has, without doubt, expanded his fan base."

"We've asked Sean to speak to a number of different audiences and have found him to be inspirational to a wide range of people – from staff to business owners to entrepreneurs. His attitude is so inspiring and he refuses to let anything get in his way – determined to achieve his goals, despite the many barriers put in his way. His exploits are amazing and he delivers his stories in a very amusing and natural way – you can’t help but like him and be amazed at what he has achieved. And he is very real, open and honest about his adventures and the setbacks along the way."

"Sean was fantastic! Proper gent and delivered a fantastic talk. It was really great that he spent time afterwards talking with us and having a few drinks. Will recommend to everyone."

"Sean has an amazing story to tell and he delivers messages and inspiration that work both at a personal and business level. He was willing to adapt his storytelling to fit our specific audience and it made for an engaging and entertaining session."

"Sean was a pleasure to work with and he was really well received by our audience."

"It was a pleasure to have Sean with us. For inspiring the audience to think about "Challenging Situations" and "Not to Give up" - he certainly did that very well. We got feedback from people who said that they enjoyed his presentation very much."

"A true inspiration to us. The talk was well constructed and great detail was made to show the most exciting and jaw-dropping tales from a young man's youth."

"A massive thank you to Sean. His presentation was a perfect start to the festival and was commented on by many people throughout the weekend."

"The keynote speaker was Sean Conway who swam the length of Britain - a mere 900 miles! Sean was very enthusiastic and inspirational. I am sure he awoke the spirit of adventure in the audience. Sean's mottos "Don't be scared of Failing" and "Aim Higher" resonated well and he made us all realise that with will, determination, focus and self-belief we can reach our goals in life."

"I really enjoyed Sean's lecture - he is so full of energy and passion for his adventures. It all seemed to go well and plenty of people were there to hear him. Please pass on my best wishes and congratultions for a great evening. I will look out for his book!"

"Just come back from listening to Sean’s extraordinarily inspirational talk. The sixth form loved him and there was a queue of Year 13 lads trying to get ‘selfies’ with him. One of Year 10, curious about all the fuss, asked me if Sean was a rock star - I told him he was better than that, that he was a professional adventurer!"

"It was great having Sean Conway speaking at our event. As we had a range of age groups attending, all with an adventurous spirit, we required a speaker that would appeal to this and keep everyone enthused and he did not disappoint! Not only was he funny but also inspiring and thoroughly entertained us all. From a host's perspective, the ease of booking was great and efficient. Sean turned up on time and just got on with it!"

"Sean's talk about his John O'Groats swim kept an audience of 500 young people and parents enthralled from start to finish. His down to earth manner and can do attitude were truly inspiring and he left many in the audience thinking about how to challenge themselves and achieve something that they didn't think they were capable of."
