What Stephen Attenborough's clients say
"Stephen's presentation was truly remarkable. Not only did he captivate the audience with his inspiring story, but he also delivered it with impeccable storytelling skills. The energy in the room was electric, and everyone left feeling motivated and enthusiastic. Stephen's performance was a standout moment of our event and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dynamic and impactful speaker"
"Besides his ability to present the significance to humanity that private space exploration represents, Stephen shares valuable insights for companies at any stage of growth, from startup to global leader. He’s assembled this knowledge through direct interactions with C-level executives at all Virgin brands as well as through close personal engagement with the diverse future astronaut community he’s assembled at Virgin Galactic. I strongly recommended Stephen as a business speaker. We liked having him so much that we’ve done it twice."
"Stephen’s a terrible speaker - don’t hire him. I do have some availability though. But seriously … Stephen has a wonderful way with words and a real gift for public speaking. He was at the heart of our great Virgin Galactic journey for 18 years and can tell the story like no one else"
"Our live audience of some of the UK’s leading entrepreneurs at our flagship awards event loved Stephen’s talk and presentation. He vividly shared both the dream and the reality of Virgin Galactic. A great motivational speaker."
