Success Stories

 
 

Caspar was superb and really made our conference different – the team loved him!

Caspar’s approach to developing and achieving big bold goals was refreshing, incredibly impactful and left our senior managers with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and motivation.

Our conference marked the formal launch of our new values across the Group, an area we had spent many months developing. Caspar taught us that a meaningful and inclusive set of values play such a vital role in ensuring success and overcoming adversity, in many different aspects of life. Our managers learnt so much from Caspar’s session, bringing to life, through his many experiences, the importance of planning, being able to adapt as a team and building resilience. Thank you so much Caspar.

I had the pleasure of watching Caspar deliver an incredible key-note at our Sage customer scale-up event. Caspar didn’t just deliver a speech, he proved he is a great story teller, bringing a personal charm and humour to the event, whilst imparting his extensive business wisdom on others. Seldom do I see speakers create such a level of engagement with their audience, I honestly believe people would have stayed for hours to ask Questions! I can not recommend Caspar (and his book) highly enough.

Having very recently booked Caspar for one of my high profile client engagement events, I cannot recommend him highly enough. His talk was extremely engaging and exciting whilst at the same time delivering some key messages on winning teams which were so relevant for the audience. If you want a speaker who will make people listen and engage, Caspar is the one!

I recently attended a talk by Caspar during a Reward conference in Barcelona. I went into the session with a bit of apprehension as I had often seen these sessions devolving into sermons. Not this one though! A brilliant speaker and an inspiring orator, Caspar had carefully structured the talk providing enough meaningful learnings that one could then incorporate in either their professional or personal lives.

Great speaker, interesting content, inspiring examples and impression to the audience - it was a pleasure to work with Caspar starting from planning stage to his involvement after the conference. Highly recommend to invite Caspar as a speaker to your events!

I have rarely met and witnessed such an authentic, valuable and inspiring speech as the one held by Caspar in Rome this year in front of more than 100 lawyers! He talked about very profound life concepts, challenged the idea of traditional business and introduced amazing new and unconventional life and work style alternatives in such a clear, simple and structured manner! I know now there is no other way than following his ideas and values! The story of his life and the insights he brought cachted us all in the flow and there was no single person able to take the eyes away from him for the whole speech. Real, true, genious! This is Caspar!

Caspar delivered a 90 minute keynote presentation to our leadership members at PRogress and the feedback has been exceptional! Caspar delivered what was one of the most inspiring stories bundled with numerous leadership lessons that can be applied in your personal life and at work. One of our members described themselves as going through all the emotions through Caspar's talk and one even described it as life changing. Caspar you were truly exceptional, like your story, like your family and like your success. To top it all off, Caspar is a genuinely lovely guy! Thank you for speaking at PRogress.

Caspar is a highly engaging and informative speaker, he relays his business and personal experiences in an intertwined story that is compelling, fascinating, and inspirational. Learn from what he got wrong both in his business and at home, what he did to put it right, and how that equipped him and his family to pursue their dream. Leadership, teamwork, shared narrative, values and resilience are just some of the major themes he talks about. Caspar's talks will leave you highly motivated to pursue the most important things in life that will have a long term impact on you and your organisation.

Chris Thompson - Partner Wellers Accountants


Caspar's presentation was described by our customers as 'captivating' and 'inspiring' with almost all rating the session as excellent. Caspar was one of the most professional and personable keynote speakers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Really went the extra mile to understand our audience and then gave up his own time to chat further with our customers in the evening, which they really enjoyed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Caspar - an incredibly talented and genuinely nice man.

It is my privilege to commend Caspar Craven as an inspirational and fun speaker and presenter. I oversee the School of PiXL Leadership and Caspar led our 50 delegates and 12 Leadership Coaches on our Flagship ‘Exceptional Headteacher’ Programme. ‘Flagship’ is pertinent as we shared in the Leadership lessons learned from his young family’s sailing around the world! In his work: “Where the Magic Happens” Caspar outlines how their lives were radically shaken up by the idea to do something really different, to change and discover magic along the way. In our conference Caspar helped us find how we become awesome, how to become exceptional. For our group this means daring to change, to take risks, to be bold, to embrace both success and failure. What a way to end our residential Conference to be enthused and inspired by Caspar Craven, sending us off with a spring in our step and a determination to be the best Leader we can be!

Caspar is a consummate professional and one of the safest pair of hands on the speaking circuit. He did a superb job at our annual awards for 470 of the small business and investment community. An insightful, genuine and inspirational storyteller that was bang on message for the evening.

I recently engaged Caspar to speak at our Datacore Sales Kick-off in Malta. Caspar did an excellent job engaging the entire team. It was a tough audience consisting of 85 Sales people from 9 countries with the majority not having English as their first language. The feedback from the team was overwhelmingly positive. Caspar provides a balance of practical advice and inspiration, the delivery is authentic and entertaining. I highly recommend Caspar.

We recently invited Caspar Craven to speak at the annual user conference for my company, Kareo. Caspar shared the lessons he learned through building a successful business while preparing for an extraordinarily audacious goal to sail around the world with his wife and three young children. It was an inspiring, uplifting, and enriching speech about leadership and life that made a profound impression on our customers, employees, and me. As a member of YPO, an international CEO organization, I've had the opportunity to hear many amazing speakers over the years and I think Caspar is among the best I've seen. I'm a big fan of Caspar and enthusiastically recommend him to leaders in business and community that want to create a unique and powerful experience at their next event.

Dan Rodrigues - Founder and CEO, Kareo


We invited Caspar in as part of our quarterly speaker programme which is designed to stretch the thinking of leaders across our organisation. In the five years of running the programme Caspar is one of the most inspiring people we’ve heard from, offering us a fresh perspective on leadership and working better as a team. He talked us through the awe-inspiring journey he, his wife and three young children went on as they sailed around the world and translated his experiences at sea by talking us through his ‘eight steps to a winning team’. As well as being very entertaining the talk was highly relevant to our business and our employees left buzzing with tangible takeaways. I thoroughly recommend Caspar as a speaker!

Chloe Marsh - Head of Communications | Expert in internal & external communications 


I've listened to more speakers than is probably healthy on the subject of "Building a Winning Team" - so when I saw this as subject for a session by Caspar my blood didn't boil in anticipation. As a speaker myself I know that most of us have content we want to deliver and we look for stories to humanise them. Nothing wrong with that - standard practice. What lifts Caspar module is that he tells an ongoing story - an amazing real life story - from which leadership principles emerge naturally. You're not being 'presented to' or 'talked at,' you're being told a story and learning from it as you go along. Caspar thinks of himself as a Speaker, he's more that that, he's an extraordinary story teller.

Chris Hughes - Chairman Vistage


Caspar was our motivational speaker at our EMEA launch event and delivered very powerful and relevant takeaways. His messages were told through highly memorable stories which touched people on many levels. His messages around teamwork, values, being resourceful and how to deal with tough challenges - despite the odds - were exactly what we wanted. Caspar totally delivered the goods and I’d hire him again in a heartbeat

Barrie Desmond - COO Exclusive Networks



I recently had the pleasure of seeing Caspar address an audience of over 800 technology channel people in Cannes, France. A mix of senior executives, managers, sales, marketing and techies, of which 3/4 were from outside the UK so English wasn't their first language. Despite the language barrier Caspar had them engaged for over an hour telling his story with purpose, vulnerability, humour and humility, making it relevant and demonstrating how the biggest of challenges can be overcome. It just goes to demonstrate the power of a great story. Highly recommended for any business looking to grow its leadership teams
