Speaking Testimonials
‘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’.
John
‘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.’
Fergal Brennan
‘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.’
Teacher
‘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.’
Jodie Kenny
‘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’
Kathryn
‘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.’
Teacher
‘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.’
Fergal Brennan
‘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.’
Jodie Kenny
Kenny took us through his childhood, early boxing career leading up to and culminating in his olympic silver medal in Bejing in 2008. However, post Bejing loneliness, isolation and anxiety took hold as he found himself ill equipped to deal with his exalted status, turning to alcohol to ease this transition.
Two years of alcohol abuse and mental health issues ensued and it was a visit to the graveyard with his mother that became the trigger to seek help with his addiction. This led Kenny down the road of education, sobriety and ultimately redemption to the point that he is now a practicing counseller in the areas of Abuse/Addiction, mental health and resilience to name but a few.
Tonights talk was incredibly candid (as only a boxer can be) and thought provoking. Several themes ran through most notably the pivotal influence of his mum at key times in his life, how elite sportspeople are more vulnerable to issues relating to anxiety, mental health and addiciton than most and above all how we are losing the art of good conversation as a form of therapy.
I know Kenny does a number of public speaking events. If you get a chance to catch him in your locality it is well worth it.
