Wow, what a great guest speaker! Energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate. Allister gave the right balance of entertainment/humour with thought-provoking topics and takeaways that kept everyone engaged. His presentation skills were excellent, and his style was well-received by my European colleagues, where English is not their first language. My US colleagues were super impressed and are discussing having Allister speak at their conference in the US next year. More...

Allister Frost was a fantastic ‘Guest Speaker’ for our Divisions Away Day and was extremely well received by our colleagues as his energy was infectious.
Due to the amount of change in our organisation we felt Allister would be perfect and he was. His talk on ‘Future Ready Mindset’ was inspirational, engaging, funny and he talked about change in practical terms that held everyone’s attention. He encouraged individuals to push past their comfort zone and embrace the change in an ever-changing environment.

Allister was great to work with, he really gained an understanding of what we were trying to do at our Annual conference. He brought to life the idea, that for us to be able to embrace change we need to be prepared with a Future Ready Mindest . The team came away energised and ready for the year ahead, thank you Allister for a great session. More...

"Inspirational" and "Engaging" were two key areas of feedback we received from our delegates at our recent "The Future" Conference.
Allister was our guest speaker and took the time to really understand our business to tailor his speech to our venue teams.
We hosted 200 Venue Managers from all around the UK, along with some of our international guests. Everyone was gripped with what Allister had to say, and made everyone truly reflective. You are still the talk of the town!
Thank you Allister for really making our conference feel so special and inspiring our teams to be future ready.

Paula McNamara
What an awesome speaker. We booked Allister for our first all finance managers annual get together in Liverpool. It was a group that had gathered from all over the world meeting for the first time. Allister was able to provide a talk that was extremely motivational coupled with fun and laughter and a message everyone could relate to and take back with them as a way forward on how to manage their future for themselves as well as for the business. Just amazing and the team loved him. I hope we get to work together again in the future. More...

We required a key note speaker to deliver a session to our workforce on 'openness to change'. Where do you start with that!
Well, luckily Allister responded promptly to our request on Bark, and we were able promptly jump on a call and discuss our event, and what we wanted.
Allister was really keen to understand the intricate details of our event, to ensure that he could tailor his talk accordingly with maximum impact.
What resulted was a fantastic display of passion, energy and a dash of humour, keeping our workforce focused and engaged whilst delivering some important messages.
I highly recommend Allister to other organisations, you won't be disappointed.

The perfect inspirational speaker for our team annual planning summit. Allister's narrative helpfully framed the purpose of our event, providing insightful context and positive motivation as we embrace the change which is only accelerating.
Allister's conversation nicely blends useful advice, real world examples with sprinkles of humour! Highly recommended.

Scott Macfarlane
We were looking for a keynote speaker to close our Cisco Partner Roadshow events at 2 locations (Midlands and London), someone who could understand the value of partnerships within the technology industry but bring something different to the event and really add value for our guests.
Allister did this and more.
His presentation was engaging, professional, entertaining and his Future Ready Mindset talk was extremely thought provoking - the feedback from our attendees was fantastic and we could not have been happier with the outcome. Allister even spent some time chatting with our guests post-event which was lovely.
I would highly recommend Allister for any corporate function.

Motivational Speaking
Magnificent speaker. Perfect for what I wanted for my team, whom were low on morale and alittle stagnant. Allister made them think and reflect, but also laugh. Although it was the graveyard shift, they were attentive for the full 1hr session and appeared energised following the event. All gave very positive feedback. Highly recommended, for those looking to get their team thinking more positive about work and life in general. More...

Allister was one of our Guest Speakers during our Academic Summer Programme 2023 in Cambridge. When we decided what we would like to give to our Participants this year, Allister fell into the category easily.
Allister was so easy to work with and very flexible to adapt to the audience. Despite the talk still albeit connected to his career, he can make that a relatable point to our young Participants (13-18) and encourage the Participants' way of critical thinking.
Even the Q&A was very engaging and encouraged further critical thinking even days after the talk!
Thank you very much for Inspiring our Participants and providing them with the tools so that they can be more resilient in pursuing their future

Thanks Philip - it was a pleasure to share the big stage with you at your annual Hyundai conference. The future looks exciting :)
David Bailey
Motivational Speaking
Allister was highly professional throughout, from initial engagement through to follow up support after the event at which we'd asked him to speak. We had really good communication throughout the whole process. The event itself was described as the 'highlight of a great day' was received universally positively by participants (school leaders) and gave real food for thought as well as a unique perspective. This fulfilled the brief exactly. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Allister for similar events and if I was looking for something similar for another audience, he would be top of the list. More...

That's great to hear David, thank you so much for the feedback and review :) Speaking to school leaders can be a tricky task, but I was really impressed by their complete engagement and genuine passion to deliver great learning outcomes for the young people they serve. Big thanks for inviting me in.
Dunja Ballon
I’ve hired Allister twice to speak at HOWtoWOW events in Croatia. He always arrives with his trademark enthusiasm and professionalism, and leaves a lasting impression of positivity and self-belief on the audience. Allister is a highly memorable, impactful speaker and audience feedback confirms he’s been our highest rated speaker of the season for two years in a row. He is an amazing person and I recommend him to other conference organisers and companies. More...

We appointed Allister to deliver a keynote talk at our client event. His talk on the importance of customer-centricity was hugely insightful and gave our attendees a whole new perspective to improve their marketing effectiveness. We had incredible feedback all round, with the consensus being that this was our best event yet! I would recommend Allister to any organisation looking for a highly credible, insightful speaker to inspire their audience. More...
James Stevenson
I highly recommend Allister Frost based on his exceptional contribution at our 'All Hands Day'.
Allister supported us with a keynote and our first in-house fireside chat, acting as our panel host.
He put the C Suite at ease with his professional manner. His engaging presentation and insightful expertise has left a lasting impact on our teams (who are already planning Future Ready Mindset sessions as follow ups!)
Allister's ability to inspire and educate is truly remarkable. A valuable addition to any event or organisation

What do you love most about your job?
Nothing beats the thrill of spreading my ReadyAlready® message of positivity and empowerment to a lively audience :) It's an energising, reassuring, optimistic, uplifting, and empowering talk, designed to give audiences new ways to think about our constantly changing world, so they discover the simple habits they need to keep up and thrive.
