" There’s always that worry when you put an elite sportsperson on a TEDx stage, that you’ll end up with an after-dinner speech or just a list of career highlights. But Carl Frampton delivered something completely different. What he shared was honest, raw, and deeply human. He didn’t rely on titles or fame, instead, he let us into his world briefly and then took us somewhere much bigger. He spoke about identity, legacy, and what it really means to perform at the very top. This was so much more than motivational, it was a genuine route to high performance, with ideas that can be applied in business, and beyond. For me, it’s right up there with some of the best TED and TEDx talks I’ve ever seen. As curator of TEDx Black Mountain, Carl didn’t just step onto the red dot for me, he made it his own. An unforgettable talk. "

" We booked Carl Frampton as a guest speaker for a Vodafone event. Carl was a superb speaker, delivering a keynote on leadership and teamwork, as well as fielding a Q&A. Carl is naturally charismatic and it was fantastic to get an insight into the mind of a highly successful athlete while also getting his take on leadership and what goes into building great teams. The questions were answered with thought and humour and we had multiple compliments from attendees. I highly recommend Carl as a guest speaker thanks again for engaging and entertaining everyone. "

" Carl told us some fascinating insights from his remarkable boxing career, and kept his talk open and relatable to all, whether boxing fans or not. We loved how he focused on self-doubt, and challenging your fears and with that anything is possible to get the most of your career, whatever industry you work in. Carl was also a delight to work with – personable, professional, and patient with the queue of us who wanted a photo at the end. I’d recommend Carl to anyone who’s looking for something engaging, inspiring and a bit different for a team away day or similar. "
