Annasley was very easy to work with. We had a brief online meet prior to the talk, which was as a guest speaker at our annual learner awards event. Annasley was really keen to understand what we as a college wanted from the talk. She then went away and sent across an outline of what she was planning to do. Annasley met the brief directly and provided a really inspirational talk for our students, parents/next of kin and teaching staff.

The talk had a really powerful impact on those in attendance. Several parents, students and teachers commented on this. Annasley linked her amazing achievement and accomplishments into how this mindset can be adapted and used in every day life. This was linked directly to students progressing from college to university and into the wider world, and how students can ‘run/row/cycle their own race’.

The presentation/talk was supported with some visuals. This allowed the audience to really understand and appreciate what Annasley has done. Text on slides were kept to a minimum so the audience was able to focus on what was being said. The presentation/talk met the brief that was given directly.
