Enda delivered an incredible story during his presentation at TikTok. He blends humour, honesty and hard-won insight to make resilience and mental health practical, not abstract. His stories landed brilliantly, and he left our team with clear, actionable ways to look after ourselves and each other. Engaging, relatable, and truly memorable.
Shannon Boucher
Enda spoke with the Microsoft EMEA intern community about his inspirational story of resilience and recovery. He has a remarkable ability as a story-teller and his moving presentation was complemented by a naturally polished delivery. Those who are lucky enough to attend one of Enda’s events will be left with a desire to push themselves outside of their comfort zone, and a belief that the only limits to their potential in both business and in life, are those which they set for themselves.
Oran Kelly
Enda spoke to the Microsoft EMEA interns and it’s safe to say we were all left speechless. His inspirational story provided motivation and resilience. Even though the event was held online, it felt as though he was standing in the room speaking directly to me. The feedback so far has been incredible, there wasn’t a dull moment.
Seán Russell
Enda delivered a fantastic keynote at our recent Vodafone Digital Sales Kick Off in the Aviva Stadium. Everyone in the room agreed that Enda’s story was fascinating and inspiring. Enda’s story is proof that belief and a positive mindset will take you further than just talent. The fact that Enda stayed until the very end to speak to everyone individually shows the type of character that he is.
Paul Culbert
Vodafone Digital Sales held our 2019 annual sales Kick Off at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. I couldn’t have wished for a more motivational keynote speaker. Enda not only delivered his inspirational message, he tackled life struggles with making decisions about transforming beliefs, values and re-imagining our own life’s journey. His humour, his inspiration and his message is all our team talked about today.
Chris Thomas
Enda spoke to our team as part of Dassault Systèmes’ Wellbeing Week programme. He stunned the audience as he took us on a journey from his lowest moments to the top of the world. Even though the event was held virtually, Enda forged a connection with the audience and held it for the duration of his story. The feedback from the team has been immensely positive.
Ian Flynn
Many thanks to Enda for a thought provoking, inspiring and high energy presentation of his life’s story to our EuroNorth team. I would highly recommend Enda to any company who want to deliver a message to their employees that despite adversity they can triumph, with good planning, future focus and hard work they can make anything happen.
Pauline Lynch
Resilience was the message and learning for our wellness week at work, and what a way to start. Enda was inspiring, his story hit several threads with my own. The vision of the washing machine will remain with me and the analogy of carrying the load. Thank you for your truth and honesty.
Christine Edmundson
I am delighted to share my high recommendation for Enda, whose powerful presence and impactful messages have made a lasting impression on our company and employees. His real-world examples, thought-provoking insights and actionable advice have inspired positive change. His expertise and passion are evident in every word he speaks, making him an invaluable asset to any organisation.
Satish Barot
Enda recently presented at our team offsite, he was brilliant. I have seen many speakers down the years, but Enda’s ability to mix the personal and professional and to really make you think about your choices is fantastic. A very different approach, with a really clear and important message.
Paul Foley
02 Financial services, insurance & risk
8
Town halls, risk conferences and leadership days for banking, insurance, property and cash-services organisations, where mental health is often the hardest subject to raise.
Enda spoke at our recent virtual townhall and was a real hit! Enda’s style is clear and straight forward. His fortitude is inspiring and will really make you think. I’d fully recommend Enda for both large and small gatherings.
Cathy Bryce
Enda spoke at the end of year risk town hall. The feedback from the attendees was extremely positive. Everyone left energised and inspired. Continued success and keep up the good work, particularly in highlighting male mental health.
Deirdre Hannigan
Enda spoke at our year end Risk Townhall and the feedback has been unbelievably positive. The theme of his presentation was mental health and wellbeing. Enda did this with a wonderful blend of humour and harsh realities, the room was captivated from start to finish. There was laughter and tears throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Enda.
Edel Shine
Enda O’Doherty is a very inspiring speaker. I’m still receiving complimentary emails two weeks after a recent seminar to our 700 staff. Highly recommended as a keynote speaker.
Niamh O’Leary
Enda brought such an energetic, honest and inspiring energy to the room, reminding us that we are all human. Healthcare workers work so hard that sometimes they forget just how important looking after themselves is. Thank you Enda for your positivity, your insightfulness, your energy and your honesty.
Michele Tait
We invited Enda to speak at our Leadership Day recently and we couldn’t have chosen a better fit. From our first conversation with him he knew exactly what we needed. After 18 months of working from home and lockdowns Enda was able to immediately lift the spirits of everyone in the room. His honesty and integrity brought a sense of humanity into our space that was really felt and appreciated by our attendees.
Niamh O’Malley
Enda made a fantastic motivational presentation to our staff, inspiring us with snippets from his rollercoaster life and his amazing work raising money for suicide awareness. I would recommend any business to consider Enda as a speaker at their events or as part of their health and wellbeing initiatives with staff.
Neil Menzies
Enda, what a wonderful man you are! You held a room captive for over 30 minutes and you could hear a pin drop. You kept very much to the theme of our leadership day but did it in a subtle yet thought provoking way. I would highly recommend you to any individual, business or group of people in need of a story teller who inspires his audience.
Denise McCarthy
03 Healthcare, pharma & life sciences

Wellness conferences and safety programmes for manufacturing, quality and EHS teams, where the audience is often sceptical and the subject matter has to be handled with care.
Excellent presentation from Enda at the recent Wellness conference at Sanofi Waterford. He balanced humour, insight and wisdom without ever losing sight of the seriousness of the subject matter. Enda will inspire your team with his accounts of overcoming challenges to become a winner. Highly recommended!
D. Kelly
We just had a fantastic presentation from Enda over lunchtime on a virtual call to the local team in Ireland. A truly inspirational personal story, full of warmth, humour and wisdom which had lessons for us all around mind over matter, positive thinking and the importance of purpose.
Owen Treacy
Enda delivered a powerful, impactful message on resilience and mental wellbeing that resonated with our entire team. His story is truly inspiring.

Sales kick-offs, conventions and annual conferences for food, retail, energy and distribution businesses across Ireland.
Enda, your presentation was amazing. You moved the audience emotionally. Your content is powerful, and your energy and ability to be genuine on stage were fabulous. In my opinion, one of the best motivational speakers I have attended.
J. Keogh
Would like to thank Enda for coming to Bunzl Irish Merchants. He gave a motivational speech on his life and how he turned it all around, to make you realise how positive in life and work you can be. Enda showed working as a team and reaching your work goals can turn everyday fears into positive actions.
Emmet Keenan
Enda captivated an audience at a recent Convention I attended. They say the role of a closing keynote speaker is often to make sure people stay to the end rather than leave early, so the speaker and their topic must be compelling. Never was a truer word said! Truly, he is an inspiration to anyone experiencing vulnerability, self doubt, or a lack of self belief.
Ciara Collins
A professional and passionate presentation delivered with plenty of humour and energy. Intelligently thought provoking on an every day level and a great finale to our event.
Garrett White
Few motivational speakers are as captivating as Enda. He uses his own experiences (and sharp sense of humour) to illustrate the things that matter, how you can influence them and how to separate the noise and the inevitable self-doubt when the going gets tough. I would recommend him to any company that wants its people to pause and think about what they’re capable of.
Nanette Solan
We had Enda present at our yearly management meeting this week. I can’t recommend Enda highly enough. Enda put his heart and soul into his presentation and my team loved it. He made sure he knew the crowd and tailored the presentation to exactly what I needed. We will be using Enda again.
Paul Keegan
Enda spoke at our annual kick off sales conference and had the audience captivated at his story. He inspired the team and challenged them to examine what they do to deliver and how they focus on achievement. In a nutshell Enda is a class motivational speaker and I have no doubt we will be using him again.

Leadership summits, management conferences and wellbeing programmes, booked by the people whose job it is to make sure the session actually changes something.
Enda participated in our recent Leadership summit. I wanted to equip our leaders with skills which allow them to lead our teams in a real, practical and engaged manner. Enda focused on managing self, being physically and mentally fit, developing resilience. He nailed it, the energy created was infectious, his delivery and content was exceptional. We are now thinking about extending the programme across our 400 people.
John Purdy
Enda spoke to our team at Trigon Hotels in webinar format and he could not have had a bigger impact on myself and the team. It was motivational, inspirational and highly emotional in a very positive way. We all came off that webinar with a better sense of purpose and focus, and also the importance of legacy.
Aaron Mansworth
Enda is one of the most inspiring and engaging speakers our team has had the pleasure of hearing. The take away actions have given us huge enthusiasm to thrive and to be persistent in our efforts to be the best at what we do. ‘Survive or Thrive’ will be embedded in our culture going forward.
Kathleen Linehan
I engaged Enda to speak to a large number of our technical staff to wrap up a day of H&S seminars. The feedback was great, he was fun, energetic and got the message of positive thinking across to everyone present. I will be asking him back to talk to more staff later this year.
Julianne Gavin
Enda provided us with some great insights on motivation, personal wellbeing and how we can perform at our best not only as individuals but most importantly as a team.
Charlie Sheil
I recently attended a motivational speech given by Enda through work. His enthusiasm and passion were immediately evident. His personal journey and private battles were harrowing to hear, but how he overcame them and excelled was inspirational. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Enda for team events.
Sarah Clery
Enda made a wonderful presentation at our AGM. Our members were enthralled with Enda’s incredible feats of endurance and also his incredible life story. A truly inspirational character, his unique presentation style makes Enda a perfect addition to corporate functions.

06 Conferences, summits, sport & education
10
Main-stage summits, international business networks, elite sport and education, including the people who book speakers for a living and share the stage with him.
…The time and preparation he had spent to really understand the audience and the messaging was more than apparent. He was a shining star and he left the audience buzzing and wanting more. I can’t recommend him enough, 10/10.
Mandy Hickson
We’ve had many excellent speakers at the Irish Business Organization of New York but none better than Enda O’Doherty. For a membership reeling from the effect of the pandemic, he provided inspiration, motivation, and the mindset we all needed to keep moving forward. It was a virtual presentation delivered with all the impact of a live talk, presented at midnight Enda’s time.
John Lee
Enda O’Doherty is right up there with the best of the best. Listening to his talk leaves you feeling motivated to manifest your dreams, inspired to summon up your courage, and juiced up to accomplish your goals. Here in NYC, locked down by Covid and devastated by economic challenges, we really needed a massive dose of hope. And we got it.
Cornelia Levy-Bencheton
Our Leinster U19 squad has just had the privilege of a presentation delivered by our guest speaker Enda O’Doherty. The entire squad and staff have been uplifted and refreshed. The way we approach this summer has certainly been illuminated by a delivery that has provided a roadmap to steer us through any perceived difficulties.
Andy Wood
Enda was most professional and very effective as a guest speaker at our recent sales offsite. His personal story of overcoming adversity through focus and rigorous execution was inspirational. His passion, energy, humour and audience participation kept us completely engaged throughout. His talk was a key highlight of our offsite.
Gerry Hurley
Enda presented at a company day I attended. Having seen and booked many speakers over the years, I thought I had a good understanding of what to expect in an hour long slot. Little did I know! He doesn’t sugar coat how tough challenges will be, but also how overcoming them is within our grasp. One of the most inspiring and thought provoking hours I have spent in a long, long time.
Richard Barry
Enda is most certainly someone who walks the walk and leads by example. I’ve known him for many years and have personally watched him engage and inspire an audience with his personal story and his ability to command a room.
Gerry Duffy
Enda is a really engaging speaker. It is always a pleasure sharing the stage with Enda. He captivates the audience with his affable style and incredible real life stories. I’m always looking forward to our next event together.
Alan Shortt
Enda came to our showrooms and gave an inspirational talk to a large group of business owners. His journey has been immense and it’s incredible what he has put his body and mind through. Everyone came away from his talk very motivated and with plenty of thoughts to take back to their businesses.
Ian Collins
I recently booked Enda to speak with the parents at my sons’ school. He so impressed those in attendance that he has been invited to return to speak with the students. What I have been failing to achieve over the past number of years Enda has managed to achieve within the space of three hours.
