“We were so pleased that Sophie agreed to give the after-dinner address at the inaugural North East Future Resources Conference created by Weardale Lithium. Sophie’s natural and engaging style captured the attention of a wide-ranging audience of industry professionals. Her talk was honest, humorous and on-point. She is passionate about the business environment in the North East and delivered a talk that touched on both the personal and professional aspects of success. She was adept at handling Q&A in an open and interesting style. She is naturally good company and very likeable. Wholly recommended!”
“A great big thank you to Sophie for participating in our enrichment series. We currently host a self-employment webinar as part of our core supporting events which talks about how to set up a company from scratch, the legals and all the practical elements of setting up your own business. It doesn’t touch on the journey the person takes when they take that leap into setting up their own business. Sophie’s honesty, down-to-earth approach and willingness to share advice and tips added so much value to the session. She listened to what we wanted to deliver and nailed it; attendees came away with a real-life multi-dimensional overview of entrepreneurship.”
“I didn’t need to ask the guests who attended my launch what they thought and felt about listening to Sophie’s keynote speech. They couldn’t wait to tell me, spread the word on social media and re-remind me the next time I saw them about how inspired they were. A natural, engaging, energising and thought-provoking speaker who made a very positive, lasting impact in the room. She was brilliant!”
