Testimonials for Patrick Duffy

After the success of the 2016 AMP sales conference, it was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Geoff and Patrick again this year on the 2017 AMP sales conference.  Their enthusiasm, creativity, intelligent communication skills and theatrical experience helped us to deliver the key messages in a fresh and engaging way, not only improving the experience for the audience and participants but making working with them during the planning a delight.  

The work that they did in preparing and supporting our leadership team and internal speakers leading up to the event was bespoke and appreciated by all. During the conference, they were on hand every spare minute to support our fundraising activity, rehearsing internal presenters and going above and beyond to connect with the audience. They loved them. Our very grateful thanks to Geoff and Patrick for contributing so significantly to this year’s conference, most assuredly making the difference between a good and great event.  We look forward to working with them again!

Patrick Duffy has hosted our last 4 National Conferences, in Queenstown, Hawaii, Los Angeles and recently in Hong Kong, we keep bringing him back due to his incredible talent, humour and  rapport with our delegates. This year assisted by Geoff Paine as The Confidence men he also presented a customised and highly entertaining keynote. The delegates embraced the interactive presentation with an openness to match the knowledge and  charm of these two highly experienced and talented speakers. I can't recommend Patrick and these guys highly enough - they have a talent and rapport that is infectious and excel in making a conference energised and truly memorable.
