"This was one of the best sessions we’ve had in the last 5 years. Graeme did a fabulous job presenting important information in a very entertaining way. It was absolutely fantastic!"
      Stephanie Porter, Director: Customer Programs, Amdocs Marketing Group

"Your presentation was just outstanding!!! The content and your personal approach. Everybody is still talking about it.... Once again accept my sincere congratulations on your presentation / provocation last week. Everybody was quite touched by your approach – a clear evidence of this were the constant references about “generation GAPs” which spontaneously appeared along the remaining workshops."
      Sónia Lara Nunes and Teresa Passos, dynargie, Portugal and Europe

"Lightning bolts conveying information depicting new realities which were so blindly obvious we missed them!"
      Paul Newton, Head of UK Marketing, National Australia Bank, UK & Europe

"Graeme's talks are always inspiring and thought-provoking; his topic is well-researched and the message, although serious, is delivered in a humorous and informal manner. His presentations are always extremely well received by our audiences and his talks have certainly had a favourable impact on the way in which we conduct business. In particular, Graeme's presentation on 'The New Generation' has been a consistent favourite with our audiences.
It is a pleasure to work with Dr Codrington and his professionalism (on and off the stage), together with his values, result in a wonderful working relationship. I can highly recommend him as a speaker."
      Allen Swiegers, Chief Operating Officer, Deloitte, Southern Africa

"The presentation was hugely entertaining and I felt was well delivered and adapted to what was a very mixed audience, both in terms of age and seniority. Graeme delivered a hugely entertaining and valuable insight into the Generation Gap. The presentation helps build around all those aspects of age and behaviour that we all know exist but find hard to define. I would recommend this presentation to anyone who works with or has business relationships with anyone out of their own age group – that’ll be everyone then!
      Andy Baxter, Director, Clarion Retail, England

"Graeme has presented on a number of occasions to groups of entrepreneurs in our Franchise Academy. When he first presented 'Generations', they were enthralled. 'Generations' became a new way for them to focus on their business from a recruitment and coaching perspective. Always at the cutting edge off social phenomenon and interpretation, Graeme has an incredible gift of making his presentations memorable for his audience.
I was privileged enough to brief Graeme on presentations that were probably unique to our circumstances. Never one to miss the mark, the research was thorough and, in presentation, far more than expected. Graeme is highly recommended."
      Chris Luck, Head: Strategic Partners, Liberty Life

"Brilliant presentation, a lot of people had obviously never thought of the concept before, and were truly blown away by it."
      Graham Strugnell, Marshall Wooldridge insurance brokers and independent financial advisors, UK

"Graeme surpassed the quality of any speaker speaker we've ever had. We laughed, we cried but, mostly we sat enraptured. The man is, in my opinion, the best public speaker on the South African circuit and I could happily watch his presentation over and over again. Brilliant!"
      Executive Director, LP Gas Association

"Unbelievable – what a great presenter & topic. Graeme is probably the most dynamic presenter we have ever had at a conference. It was a pleasure to have him on our Agenda."
      J van Schalkwyk, Group Marketing Manager, Relyant Trading

"Just a short note to say how much we all enjoyed your presentation on 'Generations' at our conference in Zimbabwe last month. Aside from the lighter moments, of which there were many, and some revealing 'home truths' about how our thinking and behaviour appears to have been conditioned by all the different eras in which we were born, 'Generations' has important messages for us all, both in our personal and professional lives. It was a very informative and entertaining presentation which still has many of us thinking!"
      Don MacLeod, MD, Illovo Sugar

"I'd just like to say that I really enjoyed your presentation at the Sage Pastel World Conference. It was enteraining and enlightening and very relevant to me as we are currently turning our attention to improving our people management. When it comes to 'motivational speakers' I am a hard person to please as I've had some poor experiences in the past. However, you broke down my barriers almost immediately. The other delegates were raving about your presentation all night, recounting not only what was delivered but how it was delivered! Thank you again."
      Ben O'Brien, Finance & Services Director, Sybiz Software, Australia

"Your presentation was extremely good and you connected very well with the audience. Danish Auditors are often a very silent and kind of 'withdrawn' people, which can be hard to speak to if one expects a lot of feedback. However you managed to connect with them and all over the profession many people now talk about your insights."
      Charlotte Rosendahl Dohm, Senior Manager, M&A TAX, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Denmark

"Graeme and TomorrowToday gave us a completely new and refreshing way of understanding the motivations and triggers for our customers and distributors, which I already find myself mentally referring to on a daily basis."
      Helen Webb, Winterthur Wealth Management, AXA Group, UK

"Graeme presented at a keynote at my company's national convention. The presentation was appropriately customised to our retail environment and product categories. The address has left a lasting impression on my senior management and directors.... to enable them to deal more professionally with divergent customer profiles, and relate to their colleagues with more tolerance and understanding. I have no hesitation in recommending dr Codrington to any forward thinking organisation. His message and delivery are out of the top drawer!"
      Issy Zimmerman, Director, Redgwoods (Toys R Us, Reggies, Baby and Company, Little People)

"Excellent, interesting, and insightful presentation covering a part of team building and leadership theory that we have not heard before, yet is fundamental to developing our management skills. Graeme kept the group's attention for the entire morning, and in fact left them wanting more. He is in my mind one of the two best new speakers I have heard in the last couple of years. This guy is a must."
      Barrie Barrett, Academy of Chief Executives, UK

"Graeme is an extremely engaging, humorous and entertaining speaker – a real breath of fresh air. His presentation style is polished, but relaxed. He ‘reads’ his audience quickly and speaks to them in a language that they can identify with and understand. He is extremely professional and was a delight to deal with during the organization of our event. He also spent time after the presentation patiently answering questions and offering guidelines to an enthused audience. He was, quite literally, the highlight of our 2008 breakfast! We received – and are still receiving - positive feedback about Graeme and the event. Given the opportunity, we would eagerly work with Graeme again and have no hesitation in highly recommending him."
      Lynne Bezuidenhout, OD, First Rand banking

"Excellent. Graeme was extremely passionate, informed and insightful on the subject. He was also very entertaining. I would say by far the best speaker we have had. Would like to have had more time."
      Susan Rousseau, Client Development Manager, Insource.ICT

"Finlay is an events company which hosts breakfasts aimed at the top level business people. We host on average 5 events per month, and attract between 200 and 1000 people per event. We have worked with Graeme for several years, where he has been a speaker at our events. Graeme has been a 100% reliable in his undertakings.
Graeme speaks confidently on a range of subjects. The topics have always been relevant to the business community and our breakfasts for these topics have been sold out. His topics appeal to middle, senior and top level management. His content is thought provoking and provides the audience with compelling reasons to change their current views and way of thinking.
Graeme has an excellent style of speaking and he comes across with humility. He is very knowledgeable on the topics. His presentations contain the right level of humour and seriousness so as hold the audience throughout. His presentation material is professionally put together and his co-ordination of speaking and visual material is flawlessly executed. Overall Graeme is one of the most professional speakers that we work with."
      Lynette Finlay, Founder, Finlay & Associates

"Thank you for presenting 'Hannah’s Rules'. It has been haunting me for several reasons:
1) You are the consummate professional. I thoroughly appreciated your contextual comments at the start, and you conveyed your message with extreme eloquence and understanding.
2) 'Green' is the topic du jour... and yet you made your speech relevant to all in the audience from Hannah’s perspective. Most of us have a 'Hannah' in our lives, or have been a 'Hannah', so the voice of your speech is quite humane... and your style of delivery is a perfect fit. And I can see how your speech can expand and contract as negotiated with the client/buyer and/or the audience in the moment.
3) Your closing segment of Nickleback’s 'Amen' is a great song... and it has been echoing in my head!
4) And, for years, I have been a proponent of 'green' strategies, and I am not a tree hugger, either... but you gave a fresh perspective that I thoroughly enjoyed."
      Kristin Arnold, President, Quality Process Consultants Inc

"Over the past few years I have been fortunate to work with Graeme and attend various presentations related to the world at work. In my capacity as Executive Committee Member of the South African Reward Association we utilised Graeme for a number of our conference events with great success. The briefs were always concise and carried out expertly in line with our expectations.
In February 2008 our company Remchannel launched a new Job Evaluation product and we asked Graeme to prepare a presentation with the focus on workforce diversity and work/life balance. Our clients received the presentation exceptionally well and it contributed to a very successful launch.
I would personally recommend Graeme based on his knowledge of the subject matter and his ability to read an audience. The presentations are always presented in such a fashion that the audience is fully engaged."
      Rene Richter, Managing Director, Remchannel

"Your presentation fitted perfectly with the [The Sappi leadership academy] process and you met your brief in a most professional manner. For me the key success of your input was the practical and down to earth approach taken to a traditionally high level business school regurgitation followed by many speakers on the subject of envisioning an organisations strategy. When I measure the impact you had, I look at the integration of your information and prompting within the delegate presentations to the Executive panel. It is very clear that the thought provoking process worked and the presentations reflected this to varying degrees. Thank you for your effort and professionalism."
      Mike Truelock, HR Development Manager, Sappi Southern Africa

"My Chapter (Young Presidents Organisation) recently had the pleasure of participating in a lecture and then follow up workshop with TomorrowToday.biz. Their presentation literally blew the socks off all who participated. I recently utilized their services to present the future business plan for a Chamber of Commerce that I chair and after presenting the plan , utilizing this company to produce the multi-media presentation, received outstanding compliments, including personal compliments from Mr. FW De Klerk (our previous State President) as well as from John Samuels (CEO of Nelson Mandela's Foundation). In fact a copy of the presentation was presented to Mr. Mandela at the request of his office."
      Marc Lubner, Africa Gateway Chapter, Young Presidents Organisation

"Graeme Codrington is one of a rare breed of 'change guru's', who manages to combine a deep and predictive understanding of the future with broad existential overtones which touch on the concepts of a purposeful and meaningful life, enabled by man's radical freedom to make the choices that matter . His message is sublimely delivered with an evangelical compulsion born out of absolute credibility, even when his futuroscope itself tempts one's incredulity . His dedication and commitment to sharing his views of our inheritance has made it a non negotiable prerogative for each one of us to listen and to attempt ourselves to comprehend his vision. When we take this opportunity, we will then consequently all be better prepared to make the seminal decisions in our lives to both enrich our future and then also to give us the strength and the fortitude to shape and create the sort of legacy we want and which we all deserve."
      Professor Matthias Haus, Visiting Professor of Medicine, University of Cape Town and MD and Executive Medical Director: AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical
