" I have never before seen a large room of people as if charged with electricity. It was one of the most impressive, encouraging and motivating talks I have ever had the pleasure of hearing, and I have heard from many of the best "

" Gerard O' Donovan is a natural motivator but more than that, he " walks the talk " …so that you can take away practical ideas that work the next day "

" To be motivated, you have to want to be. Gerard O' Donovan is a master of this technique. His passion for his trade is wonderfully apparent and you can be sure that you will enjoy every moment of his words and the wisdom that he will impart to you. You will come away with a new found vigour to conquer those things you never thought you could "

" I have known Gerard for over 13 years and have witnessed a man with incredible drive and motivation lead others both individually and in groups to higher self-belief, ability and 'esprit de corps'. He is an inspiration both on stage and in person "

" Having worked with Gerard O' Donovan I can honestly say that he gets directly to the core of the issue and teaches the necessary skills with a high level of expertise. I believe his methods are effective and the results can be highly rewarding "

" Gerry has to be one of the most exciting and enthusiastic speakers I have ever seen. Anybody interested in personal development should attend one of his courses "

" I have seen Gerard O' Donovan speak on a number of occasions over the last five years and I never fail to be entertained or learn something new. The skills he teaches are essential and I would recommend his services to everyone. "

" Training with the Noble Manhattan group will change you thinking forever. From the first time I attended one of Gerard O' Donovan's training seminars (and I have been to several), I realised that he is not merely a teacher, he is a self development specialist, dedicated totally to improving people. He lectures with the burning passion of a man who lives and breathes his subject. He believes in the phenomenal potential within us all and he believes (as do I) in his own unique ability to discover and develop this potential and set people on the road to personal excellence. Gerry has taught me that we are only ever limited by our own thinking and therefore all things are possible for us. Gerard O' Donovan is undoubtedly one of the greatest trainers and motivators in this field today."

The EC Group has been involved in training self employed entrepreneurs for over four years. Today the organisation trades in 14 countries and has over 6,000 members. During this period, I have come into contact with many of the world's finest trainers, motivational speakers and personal developers. EC Group members have been exposed to Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, George Zalucki, John Kalench too name a few. Without a doubt the most impressive speaker has been Gerard O' Donovan. He has the rare ability to have an audience in the palm of his hand within a few seconds of appearing on-stage. His style is unique. He is direct but never offensive. He imparts those personal lessons with a frankness that is always tinged with humour. His knowledge of his subject is profound and he leaves a lasting impression.
