Thomas Dunning

"The session went really well. We decided to hold the session in the meeting room as well as via Teams, everyone loved the talk. We received such great feedback from employees which I showed to Tom. Please thank him again for being our guest speaker." - Jodie, Workplace Experience Manager, Coty Services UK Ltd

"At VMware, we are passionate about Diversity and Inclusion, with Mental Health being a key thread in that program. I was looking for an external speaker who could help me put across, in authentic language, that Mental Health, can and does, affect anyone/everyone. Thomas Dunning’s story is at the same time tragic, inspiring and very, very thought-provoking. Working with him has helped us put the internal dialogue about Mental Health onto a different level. Tom is engaging, disarmingly honest and tells a true story of suffering, overcoming adversity and personal/spiritual development that will inspire even the most stoic and stiff upper lipped members of any team. Amazing." - Simon, VM Ware

"Just a quick note to say how good the video was and on the back of a feedback discussion, My students really did take a lot from the presentation. I personally thought it was excellent and really did pick up a lot of positives from Toms difficult and sometimes harrowing journey through the Quagmire. Once again thank you for putting this on it really has helped me and my students to be better informed and more understanding regarding mental health." – Tutor, UCNL

"The webinar is going to become mandatory for all groups to watch which is just amazing. When some sort of normality resumes we would love to also have you in college giving talks to students." - Higher Education Schools & Community Engagement Coordinator, UCNL

"Thank you again for your time and energy in the session on Tuesday morning with AB Sugar head offices.  Even though it has only been two days, it has acted as a further catalyst to amplify the discussion around the importance of mental (and physical) health. For info, [AB Sugar Managing Director] plans to write out the leadership teams across AB Sugar later today and will link back to your session to say how he found your journey inspiring and will remind people of the importance to take time to look after our own wellbeing." – Head of HR AB Sugar

Keep up the great work Thomas!" – Project Team Member at Active Lincolnshire 

"I just wanted on behalf of all of us at the ABF Head Office to thank you so much for joining us during mental health awareness week.
