Ben Hollister – CAO Manchester Bank of New York Mellon

We asked Ashley to deliver his ‘Humour Secret weapon of Business’ session to the senior executive team in Manchester. Coming in after a long day of strategy formulation his audience was tired, but within minutes of him starting the energy and enthusiasm levels in the room rocketed. His delivery style is fluent and engaging and the simple truth is that learning takes place without effort, whilst having a huge amount of fun. Team bonding, personal interaction and confidence are all built quickly and effortlessly – the sober, important truths are still delivered, but are delivered so they are understood, remembered and used. Very worthwhile.
