Herman presented at our recent awards evening. His open, honest and heartfelt speech was both motivational and thought provoking. He made a connection with our pupils and parents alike. His sincerity was further exemplified by how eagerly he engaged with people after the event. I would whole heartedly recommend Herman to work with your organisation and look forward to working with him again in the near future.

Herman has delivered motivational assemblies to Key Stage 4 pupils at this school. His work has had a very positive impact on the pupils. Herman's innovative approach has proven successful particularly with our less motivated and disengaged pupils. Focus and motivation in lessons has improved and is evident in school data.
