"Ayd Instone took the subject “How to be Unique in Business” and created a presentation that was perfectly suited to our audience of business owners.

With no dreaded Power Point slide in sight he entertained and interacted fully with the audience, creating many thought provoking ideas and giving everyone the opportunity to explore their own experiences. Most interestingly, he used platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter to engage with audience members before and after the event and has created much more meaningful relationships that has added so much value to the event itself.

According to feedback from the audience members, the result is an experience that has not only left a lasting impression but will continue to develop and be of value for a long time to come."

"A club member suggested we should ask Ayd to speak, and having taken a look at this website I was truly delighted when Ayd was able to present at The Solihull Business Club meeting. I have heard numerous people talk about the left and right side of the brain and found the whole idea a total turn off, but through Ayd’s excellent communication skills and use of a one simple prop I was able to understand the financial / business significance of this concept. So much so, that it has caused me to re-evaluate how I present my business and how I shall be dealing with customers in the future. Having heard hundreds of speakers in the past Ayd is outstanding and certainly one of the best I have had the pleasure of listening to."

His questions and practical ‘discovery’ exercises really get people realizing how much more of their potential there is available to be teased out – and he is the perfect guy to help them to tap into more of the creative genius within them. What we particularly love about Ayd’s presentations is the fact that there is a clear link made throughout about how the topic of creativity relates to success in business and Ayd provides useful ‘takeaway’ ideas that can be put into practice straight away. We had lots of positive comments from our attendees at the event where he presented and one of our ‘regulars’ enthusiastically told us that it was by far the best presentation he had seen in a long time. That kind of feedback prompts us to wholeheartedly recommend Ayd Instone as a professional speaker and presenter for meetings and conferences (large or small) and workshops."
