"THANK YOU for your GREAT Contribution in Iran. I myself have totally enjoyed your message and the presentation. It was beyond almost      all the delegates expectation, and simply the top 10 for me among 120 speakersI have worked with. Thank you as well for promoting me and    Iran as our great respectable Lady Ambassador - I have no doubt that this visit is the first of many more visits to come."

"On behalf of AO Hall, please accept my grateful thanks for speaking at our event and making it so phenomenally successful. We had superb feedback from clients who went away with a real buzz. Thank you Lesley."

"My personal brand is hugely important to me and, in my opinion, should be the case for anyone in business. Lesley Everett is the Personal Brand Expert. Lesley's experience in presenting this subject drives real results for both organisations and individuals. I would definitely recommend Lesley and her methodology to anyone who takes their corporate and personal brand seriously."

"Your workshop was of great value and a major inspiration to myself and my team. As we are a brand strategy agency - developing the physiology behind the brand / consumer insights I really enjoyed your time. Thank you." 

“I've had the chance to attend a CEO Breakfast in Dubai and listen to Lesley's amazing speech. Lesley has the wonderful ability to attract your attention in less than 2 seconds and keep you listening to each single word until the end, while transmitting some very interesting tips about personal branding. Lesley is definitely a great speaker who delivers a solid content.” 

For the second year running Lesley presented at the Communications and Marketing Conference for the National Housing Federation, and once again 86% of attendees gave Lesley a feedback rating of 1 = Excellent. Some additional comments from the attendees:

 "Enjoyed Lesley most because she was interesting and excellent at her job" 

"Thank you for helping us to deliver  a successful and informative conference - we look forward to working with you again in the future" 

“Lesley is perhaps the most professional person I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her insights around brand and business image have been invaluable and she communicates her messages from the platform both expertly and engagingly. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

Over 80% of attendees gave Lesley a feedback rating of 1 = Excellent.Some comments from the Conference:

"A very professional speaker who knows her subject well and made it very interesting for her audience. She really made me sit up and think - not just about personal brand but about my whole future"

"Lesley was fantastic"

"Lesley is very inspirational and made the session interactive"

"Postive, personal, encouraging."

“Lesley Everett is a true professional and expert in her field. Able to work with people at all levels from fresh graduate to board levels, her work with London Business Schools most senior degree students, the Sloan Fellowship, was extremely well received and highly valued. I have no hesitation in recommending Lesley to help both individuals and groups with their personal brand.”

"I have been to a number of enjoyable conferences during my career. However, this was a conference with a difference. The difference was the impressive Lesley Everett, who had clearly taken time to tailor her presentation and workshops to meet the needs to Greenfields and its staff. Lesley soon has everyone engaged and involved with plenty of opportunities to participate and have their say. No mean feat with so many people delivering such diverse services in attendance. Lesley was fascinating and illuminating." 

"I got to meet Lesley when we were both delivering personal branding keynotes for British Telecom at the Tate Modern in London. She really walks her talk, delivering on her brand promise with each interaction. She is an expert in professional presence and helps her clients understand the role of personal branding in establishing and building powerful, long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships. She is among just a few personal branding consultants who has been touting the benefits of personal branding since before professionals started to think of themselves as brands.” 

"In a tough economic climate, retaining focus on people development is critical. The way our people behave and project themselves, in line with the corporate brand, becomes incredibly important. The work that Walking TALL does for organisations on the subject of personal branding and development is, in my view, an essential element in retaining customer loyalty and the best staff."

"There are only two words that embody 'personal branding' and they are Lesley Everett. Whether it's helping you define your space and voice in this 'sound byte' world or helping you understand and project your personal or corporate uniqueness into the world there is no better person than Lesley to help you do this.”

"Lesley's expertise is in helping clients build that precious commodity in these troubled times: customer loyalty. She does this by significantly increasing staff engagement, through alignment of values and corporate/personal brands. Her reputation as a speaker within the speaking community is peerless. I would - and have - recommend her unreservedly."

"Many thanks for your guidance in the Personal Branding coaching sessions, which I have found invaluable. Strong Personal Branding is an important part of being effective in modern business. The Walking Tall coaching programme is first class, so are you Lesley." 

“Lesley is truly one of the most vivacious, intelligent and interesting professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her enthusiasm, passion, dedication and extensive knowledge make her an authority in the industry. A truly skilled speaker and author, Lesley dazzles in every situation she is in. I would highly recommend her in any capacity, she’s an amazing woman.”

"I send people to you for coaching, quite simply because I believe in you and your products." 

"I have heard Lesley speak on a number of occasions, at different events on different continents. Her content is always fresh and tailored to the audience. And, it is always spot on. While her topic may appear to fall into the category of the numerous "image consultants" that are out there, she is much, much more than this. Lesley's message is vitally important for all businesses - the image you present is a critical component of your brand strategy. The image your people present IS the image you present. Nobody gets this message across more clearly than Lesley does! I highly recommend her as both a speaker and consultant on the issue of corporate and personal branding. Read her books, listen to her speak, attend her workshops, do what she says! You'll never regret it.”

"I did want to take this opportunity to thank you again for the really excellent workshop, and to let you know that I have taken action, so it was more than an enjoyable day. Plus the day also had considerable benefit in a team building sense. All in all extremely worthwhile. Thank you." 

Lesley is a truly a great communicator especially in the area of "Branding". She is great with metaphors and stories and her ability to connect the dots with her customization, makes her special. I was delighted with the opportunity to see her in action during her keynote presentation at the Global Speakers Summit at Noordwijk, Netherlands. Lesley exudes confidence in her delivery, was engaging with the audience and I particularly like her metaphor on the wine bottle label to " what's your personal label?" Great presentation with lots of learning! Well done and high recommended!”

"A big thank you for the presentation you gave at our recent Sales Conference, at Wembley Stadium. We have received positive feedback from the 230 attendees, who used words like 'refreshing,' 'eye opening,' 'it makes you think about the impact your appearance has on people' and 'I will be using some of the advice & techniques....from today.' We are reviewing the way that we represent BT with our customers to ensure we maximise impact in the ways you suggested."

"Sincere thanks from me personally on your session with the team last week. The pitch and fit for our business could not have been better timed and delivered. We will work hard ongoing to ensure that Walking TALL is part of our day every day! I have recommended you to my colleagues across the Barclays group and hope they will pick up with you direct in the near future."

"Many thanks for your excellent presentation at Successful Selling. The feedback has been brilliant and I would say the best ever for a female speaker. As you know we are extremely careful with choosing our speakers for this important event and appreciate it takes a special kind of presenter to inspire 1500 people in an audience, many of whom come every year and are used to seeing great speakers. You already had a superb reputation, but you clearly surpassed our high expectations."

"Thank you very much for the Walking TALL Personal Branding Seminar that you presented at Henley Business School last week.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It was thought provoking, enlightening and extremely useful for today's current climate.  This is one of the most interesting and appropriate seminars I have been to in a while.!

"Great session - I have already made some changes. I am really pleased with the progress and feel great as a result! Thank You."

"I wanted to say thanks for leading such an excellent seminar at CIPR, and also for kindly sending through your illustration slides. These will be a useful reminder of your terrific session."

"I attended Lesley's Walking TALL Masterclass a month ago.  Not only did I get great advice on my dress code but also Lesley gave me the confidence to launch myself on the professional speaker circuit.  I now have a new keynote talk which I delivered to great acclaim recently and I have already been   invited to give it five more times this year to audiences I would never have dreamt of approaching.  Thank you eternally Lesley for opening my eyes and widening my horizons." 

"I really enjoyed the presentation with you Lesley. It was very useful, highlighting things I hadn’t thought of to further develop personally and in my career.   Thanks for creating such a clear and practical model." 

"Lesley is really great and Walking TALL too.  She delivered a splendid keynote at our Convention and was one of the STARS that weekend in Antwerp.  We really enjoyed her performance and can use her Personal Branding tips very well.  Lesley - thanks again." 

"Such was Lesley's amazing impact on our audience, that we decided to book her again for our conference this year. Even with a large audience she managed to motivate them to interact, and inspire them to take action. She has a truly unique way of building real rapport with an audience that is very powerful for a speaker and highly rewarding for us at BP" 

"At our studio we run regular high profile evening events and at the very first event that we hosted was Lesley Everett. The blend of professional knowledge, style, charisma and energy quite simply matched and exceeded our expectations. Without doubt the Events which attract the biggest audiences and require the smallest effort from us in attracting these are those that involve Lesley. Her cool way of presenting and absolute passion and knowledge for her subject of personal image and personal branding are truly transparent. Customers feel entertained and empowered as a consequence of taking a small amount of time to listen and learn from Lesley. It is no wonder that so many other media and experts now seek Lesley’s expertise on her subjects. When sitting in one of Lesley’s Events there is a real feeling of warmth between the audience and Lesley which I is a much valued gift for any presenter. Presenters like Lesley have added enormously to the portfolio of the Orange Studio."

"It was such a pleasure meeting you at our Convention. Thank you - you have inspired others with your talk – not only with what you said, but also because of how you said it. You have such a confident, clear manner of speaking which ensures that your message is heard and taken seriously. You are indeed dynamite! (In South Africa that is a huge compliment, meaning that you are dynamic, strong and pro-active)."

"Fabulous, Fabulous! Thank you for the EO conference presentation today – WOW – didn’t really know I had a “personal” brand before this afternoon! Love it! Thank you for all of your extremely valuable information! Learned a ton! I think you are great! Hope to see/hear you at another EO event soon. "

"This is just to say thank you for the workshop you conducted at London Business School last Wednesday. I enjoyed it very much - and also learned a lot, which is even better. You live what you teach - and that is wonderful to see."

"Both Mark Collings [Head of ITCS] and I were extremely pleased with the way your presentation fitted perfectly with the drive and focus we wanted to deliver to our people - your links into previous messages delivered earlier that day reinforced the messages well. The Walking TALL books were received by all of our colleagues with enthusiasm and I hope will provide food for thought.

"Guest Speaker Lesley Everett" "Excellent session on Personal Branding! Thank you!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the presentation you delivered at the Association of College Managers Conference - it was humourous and thought provoking. I remembered what you said when I bought a new suit and accessories at the weekend, what an excuse for retail therapy! I have also placed an order to purchase your book as you certainly made me think about how others may perceive me especially as I am the only female manager in a large Faculty of Technology! Once more, many thanks for a very enjoyable and informative session."

"It is refreshing to experience a single person that has the ability to inspire a whole audience of normally dull professionals. The hour was spent in total awe of a lady who can hold the attention of an audience and delight them with ways to assist them in raising their game. I had to admit to a tear in my eye when I heard the poem and could not resist asking for a copy for my office wall. We seldom stop to consider how we appear to others but this session certainly made a few of us think!! Thank you!"
