Hilary gave a fantastic talk to our annual conference for postgraduate researchers. Although this group was new to Hilary she had them enthralled and several months later they are still talking about the key messages she made - a sign of a truly inspirational speaker.

Hilary Wilson is a truly inspirational speaker. She is a perfect example of someone who can use their experience and knowledge to continually help others to succeed in all aspects of life. We found her unusual methods refreshing and made us realise that the most unlikely task seems simple if you are just yourself. She is strong believer in positive thinking and it was clear that her optimism influenced every member of the audience. Not only that but she was funny! As someone who admittedly had not spoken to large groups of school children before, Hilary developed a rapport and respect with all of us immediately and this helped us to engage with her and get the most out of our sessions.

Put simply, she's the best coach/trainer I've ever met..... inspiring, knowledgeable and pragmatic.Hilary really understands how to engage people and help them develop their skills personally and professionally. She is as effective 1to1 as with a large group.
