Speaking

“I was speechless at the end of Joe’s presentation – the casual, informal, personal and captivating way in which he tells his remarkable story held my attention for every second. In terms of achieving my objectives by impressing the audience with the strength and ability to meet tough personal challenges and goals, Joe achieved this 110 percent. He has become a subtle role model for many of our staff in terms of handling challenges and achieving goals.”

“Thanks for delivering a superb account of your experience in the Andes. It had been 5/6 years since I last heard your account and even though I re-read the book, it really is quite a moving and amazing experience to hear to you live”

“Joe’s very personal account of how he survived against all the odds, made for a very powerful presentation at our Annual Sales Conference. We were most impressed. His presentation was both inspirational and moving but laced with a good measure of appropriate humour. People were left very uplifted and inspired.”

"The collated scores from the 'Avandia Experience' show that Joe Simpson's session scored highest (7 people put Joe off the scale). Please thank Joe for his excellent work.

"Joe is a very gifted communicator who held our international audience of more than 200, in the palm of his hand, for one hour........I had the onerous task of trying to close the meeting after he had left the podium and confess that I was completely lost for words..... I recommend Joe Simpson very highly indeed. I have heard a lot of sportsmen and motivators speak, making links between their world and the world of business and their words are instantly forgettable. Joe spoke from the heart and stole the show. Everybody was blown away and I'm sure they will remember the occasion for many years to come, as will I"

"The 200 or so CEO's who attended, universally praised your enthusiasm and passion...the comparisons of your story with the pitfalls of business were clear to everyone. One of many comments from delegates were... 'this is one of the most gripping presentations I have seen (and I've seen plenty), Joe can really make us question how hard did we try and were we really committed"

"Thank you very much for your contribution to Successful Selling 99. Feedback from delegates has been extremely positive. Thanks again for the invaluable role that you played"

"Joe was enormously popular. The audience were staggered by his story. He got a standing ovation." ..... "There has been nothing but praise for your talk. No other speaker has ever had a reception such as the one given to you"

"Without doubt we were unanimous in voting Joe Simpson's presentation, outstanding, the best item of the day, one of the most moving, perception changing and interesting events of the year- we are all buying the book!"

"Joe really captivated the audience and was a refreshing change to the motivational speakers we have had in the past. Everyone without exception was impressed by his performance, and given the opportunity, we would certainly use him again"

"I am writing to heap enormous praise on Joe Simpson for the incredible presentations he gave at our conferences. Joe completely absorbed the briefing and showed true professionalism in relating the story of his disaster in Peru to our Conference theme of 'Success is about Choice not Chance'. He stayed on to answer many questions and mixed with delegates who were bowled over by the incredible nature of the story and the humility of the man"

“I’m still on site in Las Vegas, but I wanted to send you a quick message to let you know we had rave reviews from all of our clients. Joe is truly one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet. We are already talking about booking him for next year.”

“There is no question that your talk was superbly delivered, was the highlight of the conference and that our clients walked away impressed.”

“Joe Simpson flew in from the USA, shrugging off jet lag, he proceeded to captivate our entire sales and service teams, holding them in the palm of their hand and taking them on an emotional roller coaster ride from shock, horror to humour. We were all overawed and inspired by Joe’s amazing story. Needless to say we will be beating a path to the bookstore to buy Joe’s recently released book, The Beckoning Silence.”

“Many, many thanks for your excellent contribution to our Double Partner Development Conference. I am well aware that our audience likes to engage with motivational messages – but you surpassed all expectations in this regard. Your story is remarkable enough, but is all the more incredible when told in the compelling style you bring to the performance, combined with a humility which makes it all the more outstanding.”

“The evening with Joe was a tremendous success. Although he denies it, he is a very good, very natural public speaker. Everyone in the room was fully engaged. I have never seen the interest in Q&A afterwards so high at our events – we could have kept him up late into the evening. I only wished we were in a smoky pub in Sheffield after a good days climbing.”

“The collated scores from the 'Avandia Experience’ show that Joe Simpson’s session scored highest (7 people put Joe off the scale). Please thank Joe for his excellent work.”

"Without any doubt, Joe Simpson delivered a powerful and motivating presentation throughout the week and was a resounding success at each of the three conventions. He added exactly the right dimension and the feedback from delegates is unanimously positive"

“Our conference went very well and the entrance of Joe had an amazing impact (including a standing ovation). A number of people at the end rushed to talk to him and the feedback I've had back since has been excellent.”
