Ian Dempsey CEO West Cork Development Partnership www.wcdp.ie

"WCDL hosted an information day geared towards newly unemployed individuals in June 2009 in Mullingar. As part of the event we asked Kevin to be present and to do two sessions with attendees at the event. Both of these events were packed with almost 80 people attending and the feedback from the sessions was extremely positive from individuals and agencies present and was an important factor in the success of the day."
Frank Murtagh, Assistant CEO, Westmeath Community Development Ltd www.westcd.ie

We engaged Kevin to speak to our entire workforce a number of months prior to the business closing. We were looking for an alternative means to invigorate people and to instill a positive outlook in an inherently negative situation. Kevin Kelly delivered. His sessions focused on job searching, self-marketing and self belief. Feedback was universally positive and an exercise we were delighted to have delivered to our folks.
