His keynote was excellent, his delivery was very clear and delivered in an authentic fashion; He displayed excellent humour and got a laugh from everyone, not just GAA people, but team members from all over the world; The principles of the Kilkenny culture were very insightful and useful for us all; The Q&A was with the floor, he took about up to 10 questions, everything ranging from culture, sustaining performance, translating sports skills/learnings to business to unbreakable team spirit!; His slot went 10 minutes over and we would have all loved Henry to stay on the stage longer; He was happy to sign autographs and take photos with everyone, nothing was a problem and he has a genuine welcoming, personable way with everyone; The overwhelming feedback on Henry was extremely positive, he was a huge win for us on the day! We are delighted with his impact and would not hesitate to recommend him.
