Not an easy task, but you managed your speeches perfectly and all partners appreciated that skill of delivery. Combined with your passion and energy for people, you made the perfect celebrity. Wood View is still buzzing with the excitement and success of our grand opening"

"What can I say, Kriss was simply fantastic, staff cried (for all the right reasons), laughed, were inspired. Kriss was more than we could have asked for and a perfect start to our new year. Thank you soooo much"
The Harefield Academy - September 2009
"It took just under an hour for the olympic athlete to completely wow over the audience, inspiring everyone with his limitless energy, boundless passion and incredibly contagious giggle. When he appeared two years ago on the NIA stage the crowd was bowled over by his zeal and he quickly became Kleeneze favourite guest speaker. However, this time the Olympian did what no one thought was possible and surpassed our already high expectations of him and make his name synonymous with the Kleeneze Summer Showcase 2009"
Kleeneze Bulletin - June 2009
"Thank you so much for your motivational talk yesterday. You are so full of life and positive energy that it is understandable how you reached your goals. During the recognition, you had the energy for each person you greeted and didn’t lower your excitement for anyone, it was so nice to see. You looked like you enjoyed it, which makes the difference. I just enjoyed your motivational talk so much and even better than the last one you did, which was also very hard to top. I would have been happy to have seen a carbon copy of the last one too, as it was so good. Here’s looking forward to your next talk in the future"
Nicola, Keeneze - May 2009
"The power and impact of this evetn continues to grow in my mind. You were indeed inspirational in your speech and great fun, energetic and positive in your presence. It wa a privilege to share the stage with you. You gave us a great lift. I was very taken with how much you were able to tailor your words to our organisation''s work and our fundamental purpose. This is a belated, but reflected "Thank You", for having come to Torbay to do this."
Anthony, Torbay Care Trust - March 2009
"Thank you to Kriss for making the Awards evening so memorable. He made everyone feel special from his own unique way of presenting the certificates, taking the time to speak to people and having photographs at the end. We couldn''t have had a better speaker for the evening!"
Bev, Torbay Care Trust - March 2009
"Kriss was motivational, entertaining and tailored his talk to the language, history and pedigree of our business – which was very impressive. And a great guy as well!"
Dave, In Retirement Services - January 2009
"
WOW - That is probably the best presentation I have seen from anybody ever! The ability to deliver a captivating and motivating presentation to an assorted group of business people and ensure that the key messages of the day were constantly woven into the presentation was one of the most professional examples of the art of delivering a presentation I have seen.
A very enjoyable experience, I just wanted to let you know how well it came across. "
Owen, Herts Chamber of Commerce - February 2009
"Excellent balance between fun, motivation and relevant to the event!"

"Kriss was just what we needed, the talk exactly matched our issues, I couldn''t have scripted it better myself! We will be talking about this for months and years to come, thanks Kriss!"
Sally, Southern Focus Trust - September 2008
"Kriss was a resounding success at our annual conference. We all had a really wonderful time. He was a total inspiration to many of the delegates that attended and certainly made everyone feel really positive about the challenges ahead."
Emma, Inhealth Group - March 2008
"Kriss was outstanding, he was very unassuming, easy going and a pleasure to deal with. I really didn’t expect him to arrive or stay as long as he did but he has such a passion for wanting to get things right and understand what’s happening in the business that he arrived before I did and stayed until 1pm. Our employees are all raving about him. I’d have no qualms about recommending him to everyone and anyone I meet."
Tracy, Infores - March 2008
"I always knew from his many television appearances that Kriss Akabusi became intoxicated by the exuberance of his own verbosity and he certainly entertained his audience with his inspirational, infectious and lively address. "
Rhett, Britannia Hotels - March 2008
"Indeed, a couple of the crew commented on how it was one of the best talks they had ever seen and, considering they see a huge amount of varied presentations, I think that is praise indeed."
Daisy, Aspect - April 2008
"Kriss did us proud! He put in a great performance and was courteous and considerate to each and every BHP Billiton staff member he met after his presentation (which was 99.9% of all attendees, if not 100%!)."
BHP Billiton, February 2008
"I was most impressed by Kriss Akabusi as your choice of speaker and found him incredibly motivational, which I''''m sure was the case for every single one of us in the room - difficult not to be with his amount of enthusiasm and entertaining anecdotes!"
Kim, Holiday Extras - April 2008
"Kriss Akabusi was a revelation. I didn’t realise he was such a brilliant public speaker – inspirational, entertaining and funny."
Ian, Bishops Court - April 2008
"What an awe inspiring performance!!! Kriss had veteran staff known for their cynicism standing on chairs whooping and hollering!!!! It was worth every penny just to see that!!! I have been working for 3 years to get them enthused about anything!!"
Rachael, WC Housing - May 2008
"I just wanted to say a monumental thank your for your slot on Friday. You were rare! That has to have been the most thrilling hour we have ever had at a social work conference. It was all style and substance - a great way to end the week and enthuse the folk who have to then walk the talk. You have such warmth and joy about you; I appreciated the way in which you had so obviously thought deeply about whom the audience would be, what their role and contribution is and how to untie the bricks round their ankles. It meant that you talked to and reached every single one of us. It was great hearing your story and understanding the way you see how we could all do things more meaningfully and fulsomely. "
