Accolades for Des Crowley’s Talk
“Great session – Des was inspiring authentic and highly engaging – you run a great network Colin – you can be rightly proud !”
Hi Colin, just wanted to thank you again for yesterday. Des Crowley’s talk offered tons of valuable insights into his career journey and life experiences, which I found to be both very helpful and extremely inspirational! It was a great experience for me and I would love to be involved in similar events in the future.”
Thanks Colin. I really enjoyed Des’s talk. Following Peter Sutherland was no easy task but I thought Des spoke very well and, as you commented, was brutally frank in response to the question I asked him about his ‘self-renewal’ exercise. See you soon. Best regards.”
Hi Colin, thanks very much for the invitation to my first LBDC event. I have been meaning to attend for a long time but find the early mornings difficult! I thought Des was an excellent and very engaging speaker. I thought he was very generous to share his personal career journey with us. Great to hear a CEO speaking about the importance of self-awareness, teamwork etc. It was an inspiring start to the morning (and definitely glad I got up early for it!).”
