Graham Duff

"I would have no hesitation in recommending Graham as an after dinner speaker. He was great to work with; very accommodating which always makes it easier from an organiser’s view point. Beyond that his talk was informative and really held the attention of our guests even after a long day of listening to commercial presentations. To be honest their only complaint was that we didn’t have him on for longer so I’m sure he would be a popular choice for someone looking for a day time speaker slot too! Graham shared a fascinating insight that our audience really appreciated and never thought they would receive first hand, it was a refreshing change from the standard motivational speaker which was thoroughly enjoyed by us all."

"From feedback I have had, everyone thought your talk was amazing, on both topics….Red Arrows and Everest. They are both sort of glamorous subjects, so it went down well and you were amazing! Loved you."

Graham shared his inspirational stories, experiences and anecdotes with our UK cross functional teams and there was something for everyone. I had a lot of positive feedback, “takeaway actions” and thanks for a fascinating insight into a world few get to see.  Most important was Graham’s ability to take our brief and shape his presentation around some key corporate themes as well as giving some practical tips for translating and implementing this into the corporate world.

Your involvement certainly helped attract a wide audience and the entire day was very well attended, even though we had to run it as a virtual event. Your keynote presentation was very well received and certainly hit the mark in helping deliver the key messages that my team wanted to get across to our people. I very much valued your contribution to this event as your personal perspective on your own experience generated a lot of interest and has got people discussing the subject, which was the intent.

Graham really rocked our Partner Kick-off 2020 in Frankfurt – his speech was mind-blowing, garnished with highly-interesting real-life stories and gave a clear message to the participants. By the way Graham´s speech was best-rated in the Event by the participants. It was a real pleasure!

Graham was the perfect speaker for our event. His tone and manner came across superbly, a calmness when speaking about events in his life that would have most people terrified! In particular his description of how, in the Red Arrows, their desire for improvement was paramount even after the ‘perfect’ display. It was a great inspiration and motivation for the team. His storytelling, laced with his humour of events across so many exciting activities held the audience totally and their reaction was great. I would definitely recommend Graham.

I wish to thank you personally for presenting a most interesting and informative after dinner speech at Nasmyth Group’s recent Pre-Budget Conference. My team was impressed with your photographic and video material. I liked your cool, reaction during your climb of Mount Everest and the spectacular and gruesome sights that you saw there. You came across as a Man’s man with a spirit of adventure, entrepreneurism and discipline. A model citizen who gives many pointers and motivates people such as my engineering teams’, to work hard and succeed. Thank you again on behalf of the Nasmyth management team for an exciting and involving speech suitable for male and female guests and providing an hour of maximised pleasure and thank you also for the other personal hours of involvement following your speech. I have taken the liberty of passing your contact details to [...] with my recommendation that you be considered for that organisation's next speaker slot.

Graham Duff was a superb addition to our event agenda. His light-hearted tone and excellent speech content were the prefect way to round off the day, and provided many interesting insights for our eager audience. The speech was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and proved to be the ideal combination of humour and interest. Thanks again Graham, and I do sincerely hope that our paths cross again in the near future.
