Mussel Club - Business Networking Event

'I recently invited Sally to attend a corporate networking event in Newcastle. Speaking in front of some of the most high profile business men and women is no mean feat but after listening to Sally’s story, fear is not a factor to her. Sally spoke with such passion and enthusiasm that everyone in the room was left thinking “what can I do differently”. Sally delivers a fantastic presentation which leaves you wanting more (fortunately she has more in her excellent book!) I can only speak in the highest regard for Sally Kettle as a public speaker and would recommend her to anyone looking to motivate a group of people old or young.'

Sally was an amazing speaker at our event. She grabbed and held the attention of the audience for the full hour and all without notes! I would thoroughly recommend her as an engaging and inspirational speaker and she would in my opinion appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Wilderness Lecture - 'The Girl Who Rowed the Atlantic'

'Sally Kettle's talk to Wilderness Lectures in Bristol was one of the
best in our 2005/2006 winter series. It was both witty and gripping.
Sally's delivery had the audience in stitches, and the audaciousness of
her row across the Atlantic was truly inspirational'

Steve Berry, Wilderness Lectures

Stanground College

I wanted to thank you for recommending Sally Kettle. She clearly had an inspirational message of courage and determination, which fitted very well indeed with the hard work and efforts put in by the Year 11 students. Her presentation, which included video and slides, was commented on by staff as one which ‘…gave everyone something to take away’. Her story was earthed in the real world and highlighted perfectly how obstacles can be overcome, if only we can find the determination to succeed. The local press were also particularly impressed that someone of Sally’s calibre would be speaking at the event.

Lee Fullerton, Head of Year 11

Brian Binley MP

"I am more than a little impressed. The thought of rowing from the Canary Islands to Antigua is a daunting one, but clearly you are willing to accept the challenge by becoming a team member of an all girl team who plan to take part in the Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race.

What a tremendous example you are, not only to the people of Northampton but for the country at large."

Rotary Club District Conference

" One the most entertaining speakers was Sally Kettle of Northampton Club…. to those of you who have heard Sally Kettle present The Rowgirls, know that it is very descriptive of very brave people. The conference received this presentation with great enthusiasm.”

Peter Glennon, Nene Valley Rotary Club 

Bozeat Ladies Dinner

"Sally spoke for over an hour, keeping the audience gripped with horror, humour and an amazing feeling of confidence in her past exploits and her forthcoming race.

 

Silcoates School Wakefield, West Yorkshire

"Thank you so much for being such a five star and memorable Guest of Honour at Junior Speech Day. As you know, it was Robert Lilley's first Speech Day here and the following morning he got a round of applause from the rest of the staff for the brilliance of his choice! You will have sensed how absorbed the audience were and how totally you made a hit with everyone whom you met. Yes, a very special person for a very special evening."

Paul Spillane, Headmaster

Friends of Cancer Research

I would just like to thank you very much for the super talk you gave to our luncheon club today. As you probably noticed most of our members are of an older generation, and to hear your story and to see, meet and hear from a young and vivacious girl who has done so much in a relatively short time, gave a great many elderly ladies a real fillip! The comments afterwards were so positive I wish all our speakers could raise the same level of interest! The fact that you could have heard a pin drop is evidence that you had the audience in the palm of your hand.
It was a real pleasure to meet you, and an absolute delight to spend a lunchtime with you!

Cindy Evitt, Secertary
