"It was fabulous! Feeling inspired with so many creative ideas to use in the future".

"Really enjoyed it. I’ll be trying to implement some of it. It was excellent"

"I planned my BNI pitch on the fly when the president says, it's time for our pitch. No preparation, just whatever was in my head in the morning. I've now learned that I can structure my pitch using a formula in 15 minutes and its easy. I'm way less stressed".

"I found the workshop very beneficial, I’ve always had good structure with my presentations but struggled with creativity. Now that I have a clear framework my creativity issues have been solved."

"As a business adviser I want to provide insights when I deliver my pitch but as a logical accountant I provide too much context and run out of time. Now I learned that magical phrase LESS IS MORE"

"John Maybury consistently delivers memorable pitches at BNI each week so I just had to be part his pitch workshop and now my chapter members see a creative and more effective Samit Desai" .

"Brilliant, thanks John. I won the best pitch award the following week so thanks for the great ideas."

"The workshop was great and I definitely got value"

"The 4P's were really helpful."

"I enjoyed the session. Thank you. I enjoyed listening to other people developing their pitches more than trying to produce my own. My biggest takeaway was just to think outside the box – I felt like everyone had some really good suggestions, so I will be spending some time thinking about what I can do that feels like its authentically me as well".

"The workshop has helped with both content and confidence. A little bit of planning goes a long way so even though I’m a little snowed under at the moment, it has helped me a lot to deliver a clear and concise pitch".

"When I stood up to pitch at BNI I just talked about what I did as a car mechanic. It was obvious. But then I did John's pitch workshop and he showed me how to engage the members with a kick, kick, scrub, scrub approach, and what do you know? I won best pitch".

"You are bloody good at what you do, Mr Maybury, I won best pitch with your coaching and it made me feel that I was the queen of the world".

"Thank you very much Mr Maybury! A very useful and informative session."

"Stop thinking about it and just do it. You won't be disappointed"

"It was very insightful. Thank You"

"I loved the workshop - great value and so good to be reminded about the importance of a pitch that stands out. And preparation is key to that.

Two key takeaways: focus on one thing or one subject and break the norm with some activity or props"

"Being new to my BNI chapter, I was feeling nervous and felt unsure how to best let my personality shine in my 60 sec speech. In the training with John, he gave me 5 different ways I could not only promote my business, but also highlight my personality and spark interest in people. The following week, I won best pitch and it felt absolutely amazing. It really made me feel more confident and super excited that I can win by incorporating more of my little quirks and interests. To stand up and have fun while presenting, not just doing the same old routine, really made me feel like I was connecting with people. So grateful for the support and guidance from John!"
