Elliot Padfield

Testimonials (2)

• During my long career in education, Elliot is the most powerful speaker I have ever encountered. From what I saw today, he is the greatest, most authentic motivator, reminding us all of the power we already have in us to help ourselves and help each other. Some of his ideas have transformed the way our delegates are approaching education and is spreading some of the most cutting-edge ideas in education. On top of that, Elliot is a pleasure to work with as a speaker and Elliot and his team were so compliant and flexible in the run-up to the event. Elliot was the talk of the conference and has shaped our strategy that we use to support students.

  Audience engagement 

  Elliot's talks about his background and experiences are, of course, very engaging but what we all found remarkable was how captivated the audience was as he delivered a keynote on styles of teaching accountability. Weaving stories into factual research, his talks play out like a performance but leave everyone twice or thrice as knowledgable as when they walked in.

  Subject matter expertise 

  The fact that Elliot is a student himself gave an entirely different spin on the summit. Despite talking about high-level ideas, his talks are grounded in pragmatism and reality with plenty of stories to tell from his own experiences. It's a shame that more students aren't as knowledgeable, successful and engaging as Elliot because then more education professionals could be inspired.
• Elliot delivered an excellent keynote speech to a group of young people from schools across London who are facing barriers to the labour market. Elliot spoke with real passion and helped to boost the young people's confidence and motivation, inspiring them to believe in themselves and look ahead to a bright future. Thank you Elliot for your generous support.
