I’ve had the privilege to work with some of the worlds most prestigious and talented companies.  Here are a few of the companies who I’ve have regular relationships with:

My down to earth and approachable style quickly engages audiences leaving them wanting more. Here are what people are saying about my work:

“Dean delivered one of the most thought provoking and innovative presentations that I have seen in a very long time. Genuine new insight is very rare and the ability to draw implementable business conclusions is virtually unique. Dean has that.” Steve Martin, Branch Chairperson – Manchester Institute of Financial Planning http://ow.ly/1tABX

“On behalf of the team I really wanted to say THANK YOU to Dean for such a great start to our strategy session. The feedback about your section was overwhelmingly positive and I think you provided the team with real insight into the context we are operating in and the challenges we might face. I thought your style hit exactly the right balance of informality and humour whilst making sure the messages were clear. Thanks again and hope to work with you again soon.” Claire Osborn, Head of Talent Management, Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited

“Dean was ‘bang on’ – you did an excellent job at delivery. I needed people to go ‘yeah, I get that and I can think of things in my area that we should be doing differently” John Jenkins: Head of Strategy, Winterthur Life, AXA Group

“The presentation was exceptional. The fascinating subject matter was made truly inspirational by Dean’s very professional, entertaining and slick presentation.” Mark Lovell – University of Manchester

“Dean is an excellent presenter who kept us captivated with the content of his presentation.” Deborah Avenell – Royal Veterinary College

“Dean presented in a fun and engaging way.  I thought that presentation content was good and it was made even better by the presenter in my opinion.   EXCELLENT, great food for thought.”

“The presentation was great, very entertaining and also thought provoking! Dean was excellent and held my attention throughout, which is a fairly tall order for the after lunch slot.”

“Dean’s key contribution is his INGENUITY VALUE – his presentations and workshops made us question our status quo and his ideas bring valuable innovations to our business.” Sharon Kersten Managing Director – Old Mutual Bank

“I write to thank you warmly for your outstanding presentation to our National Board, followed by the valued workshop with our Executive Committee. The benefits are being seen in increased understandings, using a common language and preparing to ‘raise the game’ in strategic thinking. Your collaborative preparation became evidenced in the way in which you used our own internal vocabulary and examples to illustrate more generic conceptual frameworks. Our teams appreciated the tone and engaging style of the presentations, and then the rigour of the workshop challenges. This work has ensured an excellent preparation for our UK-wide strategic development.”
Derek Twine CBE, Chief Executive, The Scout Association UK

“I really enjoyed the hour long session and was surprised at how much of NAG I recognised in what Dean articulated. I believe that everything is cyclical however it was quite sobering to see some evidence in support of this view. Dean’s a charismatic presenter and is easy to listen to.” Judith Belmore, Senior Product manager, National Australia Bank Europe

Great presentation – engaging speaker with great ads and clips to illustrate the point Crispin Davies, Marketing, Tesco UK
