Question 1

Have Steve Head every time...

Accepted Answer

We have invited Steve to speak at our conference on two occasions, having received such positive feedback from delegates following his first session. Steve is professional, responsive and easy to work with, taking the time to understand the brief, audience and objectives before delivering engaging and relevant content. Throughout the planning process, communication has always been excellent, with Steve being reliable, organised and flexible to our requirements. Delegate feedback has included:"Have Steve Head every time.""The motivational speaker gave genuinely helpful, practical tips and suggestions to improve life and work." Steve's sessions strike a great balance between practical advice, humour and audience participation. Delegates are engaged throughout, encouraged to reflect on their own experiences, and leave feeling energised and motivated for the day ahead.L.G Gloucestershire NHS

Question 2

Regularly described as a highlight, “stand‑out,”

Accepted Answer

Steve’s session was consistently described as one of the strongest, most memorable parts of the entire conference. Attendees highlighted his energy, clarity, and relatable delivery, frequently calling his talk “motivational,” “inspiring,” and “brilliant.” His tools — especially 149, the 4‑minute rule, and mindset-driven approaches — clearly resonated and are already being put into practice both at work and at home. Many people said his session prompted genuine reflection, helped reframe challenges more positively, and gave them practical ways to manage workload, protect their time, and shift their mindset. For several attendees, Steve was the stand‑out speaker and a major contributor to the overall positive tone of the conference. What people valued mostHis energy, humour, and engaging delivery, making concepts memorable and practicalClear, simple mindset tools that people could adopt immediately (e.g., 149, 4‑minute rule)A strong sense of motivation, positivity, and perspective — many said it “reset” their mindsetExternal voice offering a fresh, relatable perspective compared to internal speakers Impact on confidence, mindset, and day-to-day roleRenewed confidence that challenges are normal and shared across the teamFeeling more in control emotionally and mentallyGreater willingness to collaborate, reset, and reflect at the end of each daySome described immediate application at home too — showing strong personal impact How Steve’s session shaped perceptions of the conferenceRegularly described as a highlight, “stand‑out,” and one of the most valuable sessionsHelped set a positive, motivating tone for the whole eventSeveral specifically requested “more of Steve Head” in future conferences

Question 4

Steve created magic in a room of jaded and demoralised health professionals

Accepted Answer

Throughout my career spanning some 38 years in the NHS, I have attended a lot of conferences.
but today has, by some margin, exceeded my expectations. Simply put, magic! Steve created magic in a room of jaded and demoralised health professionals. 220 people came with heads held low and left full of enthusiasm and heads held proud and high. Armed with a variety of techniques to support resilience in an ever fraught working environment, we can listen to our “inner chimp”,  think more positively  by thinking 149 and NOT 15, but I would go one step further after this session with Steve and I would say it is simple; we all need to “ be a bit more Steve”.

Question 5

Most memorable, topical, to the point and full of humour and energy

Accepted Answer

"I have been lucky enough to watch Steve, a few times in the past at various conferences. His sessions are always some of the most memorable, topical, to the points and full of humour and energy.

We decided to book Steve for a Managers conference, and it was just as brilliant as we would have hoped. He had the room engaged (not a mobile phone in sight!), motivated and his energy and humour cascaded through the room.

Steve took the time prior to the conference to learn about a business, but then sit through a morning of leadership presentations as a member of the team. This allowed him to learn even more about our business and people would you like to fit into stock to give it bespoke feeling of understanding and made him appear to be an extended member of the team.

Highly recommend."

Scott Hamilton-Cooper, Chief Commercial Officer, AX-UK

Question 6

I can't recommend Steve highly enough

Question 7

A born presenter

Accepted Answer

“Steve Head’s unique style had the audience guffawing while he taught us about the 149 effect and GOB. Feedback has been outstanding – he is a born presenter and we hope to work with him again”

Alison Mayhew Provide NHS

Question 8

Get him back next year!

Accepted Answer

“I invited Steve along to a critical Sales event to help a large team of new business managers overcome personal challenges and barriers to success. Steve’s presentation was outstanding…engaging, motivating, hilarious and thought provoking whilst delivering a number of ‘gifts’ to help the team approach challenging situations as they move into our new financial year. The feedback has been exceptional from delegates not to mention a number of requests from the leadership team to get him back next year! Outstanding!”

Jane Rowe Brakes

Question 9

You're fantastic at what you do

Accepted Answer

“Thank you for being our guest speaker at the conference; we have had nothing but positive feedback following your talk, especially from the directors and managers of Simplyhealth. I think this is the 4th time Denplan have used you at one of our events and every time you manage to capture the audience and have them leaving the room buzzing ready for the challenges ahead of them. I know a number of people have tweeted you and many more have requested clips of the video recording- which just shows, you're fantastic at what you do.”

Juilanne Ediss, Events Coordinator, Denplan

Question 10

He is simply the BEST!

Accepted Answer

"I first heard Steve Head at a Headteachers conference in 2010. I was a delegate but also looking for speakers for the conference I organise for school leaders in Lancashire. I have employed several nationally recognised speakers to address the conference. Steve Head is quite simply an exceptional speaker!

From the moment I first heard him I had to book him! He is a very engaging speaker who has a very relevant message for school leaders, teachers and all school staff! He did address our conference in 2012 and again( by delegate’s request ) in 2013! We have booked him again for 2014! He is simply that good and worth every penny! This year’s conference was a sell out just on the fact that Steve was speaking.

Steve has an interactive style based on his experiences in management. He has a message that delegates relate to and can use. This includes building quality teams to lead based on positive relationships, a strong vision and motivation. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Steve Head to speak to Education and school conferences. He is simply the BEST!"

David Fann Headteacher

Question 11

A fantastic speaker and a truly inspirational person

Accepted Answer

“I’ve been to a lot of sessions conducted by motivational speakers and I have to say Steve sticks in the memory. I often find myself thinking of the things Steve said on a daily basis and that’s when I know I definitely took something on board. Having worked in our industry before he related and connected with the audience and you could see them warm to him straight away. His stories are engaging and he always has a point to them that is pertinent.

Steve is also very comfortable on stage – he owns that room and has people hanging on his every word. I think every time I see him now, I am going to have to give him a standing ovation because that’s how my salesforce showed their appreciation to what was a fantastic talk. I would love to work with Steve again, without a doubt. A fantastic speaker and a truly inspirational person.”

CIPD Exhibition - wanted to let you know how great it was

Accepted Answer

CIPD Exhibition & Conference.

“I heard you speak at the CIPD conference in Manchester last week and wanted to drop you a line to let you know how great it was. As I got home much later that night, tired and hungry, I was annoyed to see that my husband had left the curtains open with the lights on so that everyone can see in the house so was all set to give him a piece of my mind.  As I walked in, he was ironing all of my shirts for me and I could smell my dinner in the oven.  I very quickly remembered your words and simply thanked him with a hug for making my life so much easier. It is common sense!”
