'Shaun is a highly focused individual with experience in modelling, communications, and marketing.

He is an excellent communicator who has delivered 2 TEDx talks that have been well-received in the community and recognised by professionals across the world.

Having worked closely with Shaun on a variety of projects, including the development of his TEDx in Sheffield, Hallam University and Roehampton BAME Leaders conference, I have witnessed his dedication and ability to research, analyse and communicate ideas that transform and uplift diverse communities, cultures, and identities.

At present, I work closely with Shaun to expand his capacity to transform communities and communicate his personal ideas through podcasting. He has been working closely with BANG Edutainment to develop a podcast focused on exploring ideas surrounding identity and confidence within marginalised communities.

Shaun can connect with any community and create an open dialogue for change while also being a leader that brings communities together.'

'I've been working with Shaun for several months now and have been impressed by his work. I run a charity called Orchard OCD that helps develop new and better treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a devastating yet common and very trivialised mental illness. Shaun first contacted me when he was going through an OCD crisis, and I gave him advice from my personal experience of OCD about how to access help from the NHS. I was impressed by Shaun's commitment to fighting his OCD and to using this traumatic experience as a platform for raising awareness about OCD and helping other patients with this disorder.

Shaun is a talented communicator and comes across very professionally and clearly as a speaker and writer. He is reliable and always delivers as promised. He is easy to work with and is a good team player. He is not frightened of sharing his own experience of some of the lesser known yet equally common and devastating forms of OCD (harm OCD, suicide OCD, sexual orientation OCD). Indeed, we urgently need more people like Shaun who are ok raising awareness of these forms of OCD to challenge the prevailing stereotype that OCD is just about lining up your pencils and checking your locks a few times. Shaun already has feedback from numerous other sufferers who welcome his openness as it helped them deal with their OCD and explain it to their friends and family.

I fully recommend Shaun to your organisation.'

'I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that Shaun Daniel Carl Flores is an exceptionally gifted Public Speaker. I know this as I have known Shaun on a personal and professional level now for over the past 10 years and have attended several of his talks.

The last event I attended was his TEDx talk called, ‘The Straight Jacket of Masculinity’.

The way that the spoke was deeply engaging, it was heartfelt and relatable to me and many of those in the audience. He knew how to set the scene through the way he spoke about his lived experiences, keeping it clear and concise, all done whilst keeping it factual through research/studies he has referred to.

Shaun’s natural flow and wordplay have always been one to behold if you have been able to witness his talks in person.

He would make an amazing addition to your agency.'

"It was amazing, he was fantastic with students, they would have stayed all evening if I hadn’t have had to ask them to leave. The questions just kept coming and he answered them so calmly and honestly. I was very impressed and a big thanks to you for suggesting!"

"Thank you so much for your fantastic talk yesterday. You had such a great rapport with the students and the presentation was very moving and thought-provoking. The students really enjoyed it, and I know you had an impact on them. Thanks, too, for judging the poster competition; not an easy task but your idea of presentations worked brilliantly. We hope to have you back into school in the near future!"

"At Ferndown Upper School, we have been chosen as the leading school in the country to develop a boy's educational programme applying the Taking Boys Seriously principles from the University of Ulster. My current role is Assistant Head Teacher with oversight for our key groups within school, one of which is our boys and, as such, I have been helping to design and create our boys programme. Shaun joined our boys programme in March 2024, delivering sessions to our boys across a day. To say that Shaun had an impact on our boys is an understatement. I was blessed to be able to sit in an assembly room full of our boys speaking publicly about their perceptions of their body image and masculinity as a consequence of Shaun's openness to discuss his own journey as a man.

Each of the sessions that Shaun delivered was guided by our boys, he spoke to them about what they wanted to speak to him about and I strongly believe this was part of the reason for the success of the day - Shaun understands others and certainly understood our boys. At break time, Shaun spoke to our boys and was surrounded by boys wanting to take pictures with him, shake his hand and thank him for his session - he had impact, impact that lasts longer than a day and our boys are so excited for his return. It is not only our boys that Shaun had an impact on, we have had parents getting in contact to say about the impact that it had on their sons when they went home and in turn, some parents have offered to be involved with the boys programme and include more opportunities for boys to engage with external speakers.

Shaun went above and beyond on his day with us at Ferndown. And I am so excited that this is only the beginning of the work that we are going to go on to do together - he really does make a great impact on those who are lucky enough to hear him speak."
