“You were able to bring our management group up to speed on important issues that they otherwise might not have considered and you did so in a way that caught people’s attention. Our managers went back to their workplaces better informed and better prepared. Your style and manner in addressing the issues within the room were very effective and we felt much more prepared to understand and be mindful of the risks in these extremely important areas of our business after your presentation.”

"For our annual emergency preparedness Boot Camp we wanted to wow participants with speakers who were dynamic, thought provoking and edutaining. We asked Stephen Hammond to present because of his reputation to do just that. He took the complex workplace issue of harassment and discrimination, and made it understandable and relevant. Our clients were totally engaged. Many of them said they now want Stephen to speak to their workplaces and associations. Only he could take a serious subject like harassment, make a game out of it (literally) and have the audience clamouring for more. Outstanding."
