Alder House Hotel

"Lee was entertaining, but more importantly, in just 15 minutes, at 7am in the morning he gave me a nugget of wisdom to remind me how to get more out of my staff and come to think of it my clients, friends and family as well. I have told 6 people already about your pigeon story!"
HRActive Ltd

"Lee is a dynamic speaker who leaves you with food for thought about the best way to motivate colleagues and employees within your business."
Better Business Breakfasts

"Lee’s presentation was one of the most popular at our International Confex event."
UBM Conferences

"Lee has worked with us as a presentation consultant to make our nation-wide communications meetings the best they can be. There were some great conclusions from his consultation work. The main change has been that we are weaning the presenters off wordy slides and the presenters are now being challenged to learn their script. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable on presentation skills and PowerPoint/slide design. We look forward to working with him again."
Specsavers Optical Group

"It's amazing how many people in business use PowerPoint without having a clue how to use it. As such, it has a really bad reputation and a bad name. Enter Lee Jackson...here's someone who knows how to use it...PROPERLY, and how to interact with it. He knows how to get the most out of it, and how both designers and delivers can use it as it was meant to and in doing so, deliver messages that are attractive enough for people to engage with."
Asda Stores Ltd

"Lee went to great lengths to understand our business and the outcomes we strived. He then used creative and innovative ways to update our thinking with presentations and messaging. The time we spent with Lee delivered some immediate value outcomes with presentations and helped us understand a firm philosophy which we'll continue to build from. Since then I have seen improved client feedback and no doubt it has contributed to our businesses upward growth"
Business Development Manager at Firmstep

Here's a few testimonials re: powerpoint slides and presentation skills, many from other speakers, these are taken from Linkedin - you can view them live here... http://uk.linkedin.com/in/leejacksonuk 

“Lee's talk was thought provoking, punchy and humorous. His use of props with high impact images was powerful. He made a potentially very dull topic interesting and memorable with his expert, professional use of powerful slides.”
E Milnes Past President, Professional Speaking Association

“Six months ago I heard Lee speak. What he said struck a chord but what is incredible is that I can still quote verbatim from his presentation today. Lee’s great content was supported by brilliant slides and that is what made the speech so memorable. Thanks Lee, I’m hoping people will be quoting my presentation six months from now!”
BBC

“He is just brilliant!”
R Harrop, The CEO Expert

“Not only does Lee show you where you are going wrong, but he helps you to get things right. Funny, challenging and content rich, with superb visuals that clearly demonstrate his expertise. A nice guy with it.”
D Hyner, professional communicator

“Lee's work is excellent. He understands his market, a great speaker and the best way to communicate a point.”
C Young, entrepreneur and former contestant on The Apprentice

“Lee has spoken at Bettakultcha many times and always wows the audience, whether he's talking about attitudes to young people, doing a live DJ set with slides, in 5 minutes, or giving us a hand with the organisation and development of Bettakultcha, Lee is always an asset. I truly love working with Lee and I'm sure I'll continue to well into the future.”
R Michie, Founder, Bettakultcha

"Lee's style of presenting impressed me so much that I have now worked with Lee on numerous occasions. Lee is someone who will move mountains to help you. 100% Professional, 100% Genuine and 100% a true gent."
R McCann, Inspirational Speaker

“Lee is one of the most entertaining but informative - i.e. effective - speakers I know. He has a disarming directness and frank approach but has such a sensitive nature that he does not offend. His style is excellent, as can be seen on YouTube and TED (and in his books), and he is authoritative on the subjects he tackles.... His grasp of technology (something often lacking in speakers) is also excellent: he is able to manage the equipment and also understands what works and doesn't when using computers to communicate with people. Lee... is very much a 'just do it' person who cuts through administration when needed in order to get the job done. I've known Lee for over ten years and I respect his integrity and approach greatly.”
K Fearnley Tribal Group

“Lee’s presentation training was top quality. His ability to gently ease out the different skills and weaknesses of participants – and then build on them – was impressive and has provided me with many practical techniques I’ll apply in future. His training is of real value!”
S Williams, Leeds Federated Housing

“Anyone who speaks regularly in public or wants to improve the results or perception of their presentations would benefit from working with Lee.”
N Mawby, Group Marketing Manager, McCain

“Had a great session with Lee developing public speaking and presentation skills. Although challenging, it was carried out in a fun, non-threatening way and dare I say this about having to stand up in front of people and deliver a presentation - it was even enjoyable! Highly recommended. Thank you.”
J Gardner, Leeds Fed Housing

“Lee delivered a day on presentation skills to our staff, all with ranging abilities and experience in up front presentations. Lee's knowledge is excellent, his ability to connect with people is second to none, and every one of our staff who attended came away challenged, inspired and having grown as a presenter. Lee's training on delivering presentations is interactive, exciting and you will see the confidence and quality of presentations in your teams increase as a result of this training. It is built on years of public speaking, and Lee shares some golden nuggets of his experience, tailoring the day to the 'audience' he has. On top of that, he's a nice guy as well! Highly recommended!”
L Jennings, YFC
