What people say
Trusted by the people who book him.
“Neil’s entrepreneurial journey is truly unique, and his exceptional storytelling skills make him a compelling speaker for events focused on entrepreneurship, sustainability, and volunteering. Be it in the lecture hall or working directly with students, Neil always inspires.”
“Neil McCabe’s keynote talk at the TU Dublin Student Volunteer Awards taught us how taking small actions can lead to creating huge positive impact. His story from being a full time firefighter to a CEO of a huge social enterprise is inspiring to any student who wants to make a positive impact on people’s lives and our planet.”
“Neil pitched the content perfectly; speaking about his experience of motivating others and encouraging people to take positive actions in the world in ways that work day to day and that cumulatively create lasting and significant impact. I highly recommend Neil as a speaker and as a motivational figure.”
