Speaking out...
"Margaret delivered a colourful and engaging masterclass to a sold out session here in the IMI. She discussed how deceptively small measures can have a disproportionate impact on building a strong, sustainable organisational culture. Here at the IMI, we look at successful events on the number of fronts and audience participation is key. The Q&A session with Margaret was our best yet."

Endorsements
"Margaret joined our first ever strategic sales summit and she was, quite simply, amazing. She is an incredibly charming and engaging speaker but she also rounds that out with great content and prpper emphasis. She articulated the importance of teamwork in a new and fresh way that really resonated with our audience of over 300 people. After the event, we surveyed the audience and Margaret had the highest score of any speaker at the event. If you are ever looking for an inspiring yet substantive speaker, look no further than Margaret Heffernan."
  • Microsoft
"Everybody was listening so intently, that it was only afterwards that we realised that you had delivered a pitch perfect presentation without a single note and certainly without power point slides. That, perhaps more than anything, demonstrated the power of a good narrative, which can pack a punch that is so much more powerful than any number of graphs, or grids, or diagrams. What was also great was the clarity of the way in which you constructed your message, and how quickly that enabled people to move into discussion (and not even notice that you had annexed ten minutes of their coffee break). It was tremendous."
  • Virtual Staff College
"We owe YOU a huge thank you. Your session was definitely the highlight of the day - everyone was so engaged and then talking about it at the drinks later on having received their books - inspiring stuff. We were very pleased with how the day went."
  • PWC (London)
"Margaret was absolutely outstanding. Our General Counsel stated that he has not heard an I&D speaker that was more eloquent nor more on point anywhere in the world. The best conversation on I&D he had ever heard. He also went on to say that Margaret was one of the top 5 speakers he has heard in his life. High praise considering he has had recent audiences with Bill Gates and Barack Obama. Margaret kicked off 4 days of our Legal community sharing information on the organisation and the future of Legal in the EU/MEA and I am delighted to report that each one of the following 27 speakers referenced Margaret and her discussion in their presentations. If you understand Lawyers and their lack of interest in taking advice at times, this reference is high praise indeed."
  • GSK (London)
"Margaret’s contribution at our annual strategic offsite was outstanding – we could not have wished for a more thought provoking and insightful presentation. We had expected that she would hit some of the topics that we have built our change initiatives around – but little did we expect that our approaches would be this close. Our colleagues who were there also agreed with the majority rating her session as the one of the most valuable of our offsite."
  • Allianz Global Investors
"Margaret added significantly to the resonance and impact of the conference on our participants. She did a splendid job of mixing ‘presentation’ with Q&A. This took courage on her part since she hadn’t worked with the FED in the past and had no clue what kind of questions might surface! Her thoughtful responses caused participants to think more broadly about the challenges of ‘willful blindness’."
