Patrick Jephson

Patrick is one of those thoughtful and prepared speakers who not only researches his audience and tailors the most appropriate content from his vast repertoire, but who then delivers an engaging, entertaining and informative presentation, that is always well received.  I’ve seen Patrick in action in a wide range of settings, presenting to a diverse range of audiences and he always delivers a rousing talk worthy of a standing ovation.  I was so pleased that Patrick accepted an invitation to speak to my colleagues about his life’s work and experiences as I knew they would both enjoy and benefit from hearing one of the most interesting speakers around.

I have twice engaged Patrick to address events celebrating the work of U.S. Congressional executive assistants and schedulers.  This is a knowledgeable and discriminating group of mostly young women professionals, and each time they were unanimous in their approval of Patrick’s talks.  Using well-chosen stories from his years with Princess Diana he combines humorous personal experience with usable, relevant advice packaged for today’s generation of personal staffers.  It’s a unique formula that earned enthusiastic audience response before, during and long after the event.  Plus, he has great stage presence.  

Book him if you can.

For more than ten years I have booked Patrick Jephson as a keynote speaker in successful conferences and teaching events  in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.  I could write a book on his speeches and how he has inspired thousands of people around the world.  As an expert in CEO reputation management his lectures have been especially valuable to corporate EAs, PR executives and protocol advisors of widely varied nationalities, cultures and backgrounds.  Drawing on his years of experience as Princess Diana’s chief of staff and now as a communications consultant, he combines fascinating personal anecdotes with up-to-date practical tools and tips, so that delegates are entertained as they learn.  Patrick’s great strength is his ability to share knowledge and wisdom with a light touch.  He speaks from deep first-hand experience, combining authenticity and good humour in an easy style that I have seen captivate audiences on four continents.  Highly recommended.

Patrick Jephson is by far the most intriguing and versatile speaker I’ve ever booked. As that rare individual who has not only been the writer of the front page news, but also the subject of the front-page news, his finesse in being able to manage a crisis in the midst of an international media storm is legendary. I have watched him charm and entertain groups with his fascinating stories of the years spent as Princess Diana’s Chief of Staff and then completely change his demeanor while discussing world-stage issues with large corporations and heads of state. For anyone needing to manage or repair their reputation during or after a crisis, learn international protocol issues, know how to operate on the world stage or simply just wants a speaker that will leave the audience wanting more, then I highly recommend Patrick Jephson for your next event.

I recently attended an event where Patrick Jephson was the featured speaker. From the get-go he had our group thoroughly engaged with a presentation that was both entertaining and informative. Having been introduced to many presenters and coaches during my career, I was very pleasantly surprised. In fact, it was a privilege to listen to him. Since attending his presentation, I have incorporated many of the techniques that Patrick imparted to us.  I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to book captivating speakers.
