“I found the session practical, fun and engaging with lots of good tips. We walked away energised and ready to give speeches/talks.”
Maida Talhami
“Danny is not only a wonderful storyteller, but an inspirational trainer who makes participants bring their personal or professional stories effortlessly to life.”
Lucyna Gutman-Grauer
Training Consultant
Interel
“The training was intense, interesting and pragmatic. It fully met my expectations. Danny was a 360º trainer and I appreciated him coming out to Milan for the session. Working with Danny has proved to be a very enlightening experience, as I left my secure harbour to explore new dimensions of my “self”: posture, tone, breath, gestures, story-telling, structure, logic. During this journey Danny helped me thanks to his enthusiasm and professional knowledge. Highly recommended.”
Santo Borsellino
Chairman of the Board
Generali Insurance Asset Management
“Danny has been a very inspirational guide for me and my team. He helped us to deliver messages with more clarity. His advice was always spot on. But more importantly, Danny is one of those people you want to work with. My teams have been guided and not told what to do, they have been inspired and not been put under stress.”

“Your keynote was really wonderful and many participants came to us to express their appreciation and get your contacts. Certain participants had already other trainings on storytelling but still confirm that yours is the most impactful and vivid.”

Air Liquide
“Danny’s work has had a material impact on my speeches, presentations and even interactions with people. I learnt how to emotionally connect to audiences and keep their attention, and how to deliver clear and simple messages in ways that are striking and memorable. A few years down the road, I still get people referring to stories I told during events. Danny has not simply been a coach for me - but rather a transformer.”
Alexis Vidal
Head of Service Sales

"Not only did Danny manage to keep our audience captivated throughout the whole day thanks to his humour, wit and great storytelling skills, he also played a crucial role in helping us shape and organise our event.”
