‘I found the talk by Ken Egan genuine and inspirational. Ken has a relaxed way of communicating and delivers a message of hope, perseverance, determination and also of new beginnings – a message needed for every generation’.​

‘Kenneth spoke honestly and openly about his early life, life as Kenneth Egan the Olympian, and Kenneth Egan the person. Kenneth kept students engaged for over fifty minutes prompting a number of questions from students after the talk had concluded.’

‘Kenny’s talk was very interesting and insightful. It was great to hear stories like that from our own Olympian and shows us no matter how big or famous you are, we all make mistakes but it is how we recover from those mistakes and Kenny’s stories prove that he is not just a fighter in the ring but also outside the ring too.’

‘I’d highly recommend Kenneth as a speaker at any event. He was friendly and professional, and had essential key points he drove home during his presentation. It was a brilliant talk and I really felt that he had a great impact on the students attending, especially through the honesty and passion he spoke with. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the student engagement on the evening was more than I had hoped for. The feedback we’ve received from the event was all positive, and reflects everything said here.’

‘Very engaging speaker who gave a refreshingly honest account of his life and struggles – very inspiring to hear how he turned his life around – highly recommend this talk to anyone who gets the opportunity to attend’ 

‘Kenneth came to our school to speak to 5th year students about alcohol abuse in sport. He spoke about his own life experiences with alcohol in an open and honest way. Kenneth encouraged students to work hard to get what they want in life and to make positive life choices. I have no hesitation in recommending Kenneth to other schools.’​

‘I could not recommend Kenneth enough for any schools or organisation in whatever capacity you require. The students in our school are still talking about how effective and memorable Kenneth’s talk was. Huge thanks to Kenneth for allowing us to share and experience his journey with him.’

‘I had heard him speak before at a community event, and knew that the theme of his talk was the links between mental health and addiction. I was hoping that his status as a prominent male sports star would encourage more male students to attend, as they’re notoriously difficult to get engagement with regards to mental health. The talk itself was fantastic, with lots of engagement from the attendees. Kenneth took the time to answer all of the questions and had the perfect balance throughout of serious and lighthearted. There was a great atmosphere in the room after, with people buzzing from the talk.’

‘Last week at St. Mary’s Secondary School Newport, we were so lucky to have Mr Kenneth Egan, Irish boxer and Olympic Silver medalist in our school to talk to our fifth and sixth year students as part of our wellbeing week. Kenneth talked to our students about his life story, alcoholism and mental health. During the talk there wasn’t a sound as all students and teachers present were in awe of this great man. After the talk Kenneth stayed to take photos with all the students with his Olympic medal. I would highly recommend anyone to try and listen and take on board what this man had to say. Excellent talk from a very inspirational and humble man.’
