"Ashleigh was great – professional, low maintenance (we laughed about some speakers being ‘diva-ish!’), punctual … I could go on. She got the perfect balance in the room and was so confident in her speech, with lots of laughs and great ‘banter’ that suited everyone. We had a very diverse audience ranging from young apprentices of 16 to, parents, friends, professionals, CEO’s, Chancellors so a fairly difficult pitch – but this didn’t faze Ashleigh, from what I could tell anyway. I’m very pleased that I chose Ashleigh to be a keynote speaker at our event."

"The students were engaged and the story and message was good."

"Ashleigh was fantastic! She really worked the room and the young people really engaged with her. By the time it came around to the Q&A section, we could have gone on for another hour. Thank you very much!"

"The event went really well thank you. Ashleigh's speech was fantastic - the kids loved her & it hit all the key points we were wanting to get across to them - I'd love it if we could make it a yearly thing."

"Ashleigh was really very good. She is a confident individual that is a real natural in these types of situations. Her talk and various anecdotes were well received and she maintained the attention of all present with her interesting and amusing talk."

"Ashley was fantastic during the day, personable and enthusiastic, and worked well with our other business visitors and staff. She was very hands on and really enthused and motivated the students. We had tasked her with a tough day circulating rooms and she really took on board her role and was a credit to your company - showing excellent teaching credentials throughout the day too.

Finally, in our school assembly, though we had some minor organisational issues to contend with, when speaking to our audience Ashley had them all captivated for the time - so this was excellent!"

"I heard Ashleigh speak at an Apprenticeship celebration event. She is an inspiring young woman who has so much energy to share, that she can influence and coach other young people (and adults!) to take on the World."

"Ashleigh proved to be very warm, funny and entertaining I think it's really appreciated hearing from a youngster who was only two years ahead of them but had a tale to tell. Thanks and kind regards"

"I wanted to quickly email you to say thank you for your support at yesterday's conference. Your presentation was pitched perfectly for the audience and your willingness to involve yourself made such a difference - particularly the table drumming, award giving Entrepreneur section!"

"The feedback from Ashleigh’s visit has been fantastic. The girls all felt that they were able to connect with her and really engaged in Ashleigh’s presentation. Comments of ‘how inspiring ’ and ‘look what she has been able to achieve in such a short space of time.’ They found the presentation original, inspiring, inventive and fun. High praise indeed! "

"Last Friday was quite simply amazing! Ashleigh was such an outstanding speaker and the event could not have gone any better. She was fantastic with the children and really inspired them - they were all so inspired by her and delighted to meet her!! Having Ashleigh there created a buzz for the event and we would definitely love to her back again!"

"It was fantastic, after a quiet start it was good to see the students become engaged in what they were doing. We would definitely contact you again in the future. I think the students appreciated and could communicate with you being just a little bit older than them – comments were they felt at ease with you and enjoyed that you weren't ‘a boring speaker’. It was nice to see them get involved and a few of them actually came out with good ideas."

"Thoroughly enjoyed by the student’s it encouraged our students to handle uncertainty and respond positively to change, to create and implement new ideas and ways of doing things, and to take and manage risks. It helps them develop a 'can do' attitude and the drive to make ideas happen."

The talk went well. Ashleigh was a very informative and lively speaker and got some good points across to the students. It was disappointing for us that we couldn’t run our conference face to face but it was a good experience for the students and we were able to have more log in to the event at the time which is positive.

"She was fab, thanks. Very engaging and exactly hit the mark to inspire our Year 11. Friendly and chatty, the students really liked her. I would highly recommend her".

"Ashleigh was fantastic! She really suited the event and we received great feedback."

"Ashleigh is absolutely fantastic! She was so good with the kids, engaging with them, getting them into position for photos. My favourite speaker that we’ve ever had!"

"Ashleigh was absolutely fantastic. She was great with the children and all those in attendance agreed it was a very inspirational and thought provoking hour."

"Thank you so much for arranging this talk - we really enjoyed Ashleigh's story and visit. She was experienced and worked well with our students to share her ideas and the message for them was perfect. She was great beforehand organising her time and what to speak about too. Her delivery was great and we really enjoyed her visiting. She took control and is a definite asset to your organisation, thank you so much!"

"It was really good thank you! Ashleigh was really inspirational, and her story was really relevant to a lot of children in our school"
