    I asked Abigail to speak at the Future Assistant Conference in February 2019, and I was so impressed with her session. She is an excellent speaker, incredibly warm and generous with the audience and a breath of fresh air! Her productivity tips are fantastic. I love that she concentrates on why we are not productivity rather than repeating all the productivity tips we all know but don’t use! She took the time to understand the audience, and that came through during her session. I would highly recommend Abigail as a speaker and trainer. 

  • Lorna Balden

    Abigail delivered a time-management workshop for Enterprise Nation as part of a government-backed programme to support small businesses with their productivity. Abigail is incredibly engaging, personalised the training to the entrepreneurs attended and shared an enormous amount of value and inspiration. I was so grateful that I could attend myself as I personally learnt lots too! We look forward to working closer with Abigail as she is a 5* public speaker and truly knows how to engage an audience. 

  • Jessica Gardiner, Founder of The Assistant Room

    Abigail is passionate, adaptable and meaningful in her approach to working with clients across different industries at different levels. Her personal journey is incredible and acts as an empowering foundation for those she presents to when being brave enough to instigate change within their own personal and business lives. After working with Abigail in November, I was so impressed with her approach to a tailored presentation and speech that within 48 hours I had booked her for a follow up event taking place in July 2019. I could not recommend Abigail enough to join you at your event or within your organisation!
