Official Testimonials

Roger Steare is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:

“Many thanks for the great training session; the most fascinating one that I have ever attended.”

Fadeia, Associate, Clifford Chance

“It’s said a good creative can step outside the everyday and look at it with new eyes. Roger has this uncanny ability: to look at what we do every day, in work, in play and ask ‘if this is what we do only because we have always done it – is there a better way?’ He offers an alternative. A way that can turn confrontation into community, coercion into camaraderie and business into pleasure.”

Nick Knowles, RTS award-winning TV Presenter

“Roger is brilliant in his field and thinks very differently from most. There expect that he will be ‘mind opening’ to some and ‘deeply challenging’ to others. Directed appropriately, he can add massive value to individuals and organisations.”

Joe, CEO, Openreach
