Jamie´s presentation at MIT Global Start-up Workshop 2013 in Tallinn was among one of the best inspiring speeches of the event.

I recently asked Jamie to facilitate a marketing session with staff and residents at Lench’s Trust to bring his forward looking and positive attitude to our organisation and the feedback from all involved has been great – all remarked on Jamie’s evident talent and ease to enthuse much energy in a room and within a team.Lench's Trust
Regular meetings with Jamie unlocked my ability in sales, as I am now the 8th best salesman in my region at phones4u, a meteoric rise from 131. Jamie doesn’t teach you how to make money, he teaches you how to become one step better than you are and the methods he uses can be used however way you like, the main point is ‘if you make yourself mentally rich, the physicals come with it’ Previous Mentee

Jamie delivered an inspirational presentation and goal setting workshop for a group of eight “NEET” young people for The Mighty Creatives’ (TMC) Ideas Generation social enterprise training programme. Jamie then taught the group how to “eat and elephant” which was a way to get them to break down the skills, qualities and qualifications necessary to get them from where they are now to where they ideally want to be.The Mighty Creatives
As a public speaker, Jamie excelled – delivering both an entertaining and insightful look at the problems facing youth engagement with business. However, rather than just leaving at that, he also provided ideas and a call to action for us to get involved.

I would like to express my personal thanks to Jamie Dunn, a talented young entrepreneur, a “Richard Branson” of his time.

Jamie spoke on 2 panels on international growth and entrepreneurship eco-systems. Jamie then led a workshop to an invited audience of entrepreneurs and investors in an informal venue. I found Jamie a very engaging speaker, a good listener and very approachable.
