‘Ann Andrews is AWESOME! Whether you have an audience of bishops, business managers or bus drivers, she will connect, coach and inspire. That's why our attendees have demanded her back, year after year since 2003!’
- Craig Carlyle, Event Director, National Maintenance Engineering Conference
I am just so glad that I didn’t go shopping instead of attending Ann Andrews post conference workshop. Once again, she was an inspirational speaker, her session was interactive and I came away with tools to tackle some team issues and am happy to report that they have had significant impact!! She is funny and I just loved hearing her speak. She demonstrated great skill in packing so much into the session and I believe left nobody feeling that they hadn’t had support with their issue. Best of all we had the benefit of her wisdom and experience as well as a challenge of our beliefs and practice. Thanks Ann.

Kevin Smit – Brightstar Conference Organiser
On the 2nd day of our 2 day conference, I asked the attendees what had been the highlight of the 1st day. Half the audience said Ann and the other half said ‘X’ and Ann …… We will be asking her to come back next year for sure.

Ann’s experience as an ex Franchisor was incredibly enlightening for us all. She provided an informative and powerful message to our Franchisees during her session at the conference. The feedback from our Franchisees was extremely positive and they unanimously asked for her to speak again at our next conference. Kaye Lindsay - Franchisee Director

Great presenter. Ann's delivery was awesome. Thanks Ann
Best speaker of the day. Much to think on.
Ann's presentation was great and very informative and I will certainly use some of her points in my interaction with the team/staff.
Great presentation and content. The best key note speaker out of them all. Got a lot from her presentation able to relate to what she was talking about.
This speaker can be my manager any day as she is definitely on track when it comes to respecting all people from all walks of life.
Dead on the mark with this speaker, she was just what is needed, not just the normal stock standard management talk. Well done.
A very 'real' presenter, down to earth manner, very valid and useable tools.
Fantastic. Could have listened to her all day. She was such a wealth of knowledge put across in a relaxed manner.
Well done on a great presentation. Some insightful and meaningful information and offered support to challenge the status quo within organisations which seems to be a problem for many. Thank you!
And from the conference organiser:
Thank you very much for your excellent presentation to our 15th Annual Managers & Leadership Conference last Wednesday. Our delegates really appreciated your address on ‘3 Essentials you didn’t know were important’.
We consider a delegate survey score of 3.7 is a good result, and 4 or above as excellent. Your scored 4.63 – well done! This is not only the best score of the conference, it’s the best equal score for the year so far (out of 70 speakers)! All of the comments are below for your information and help:
