Testimonials

"Abigail Barnes and her 888 formula gave me one of the biggest 'ah-ha' moments that I have had in recent years. As an event producer and owner of a speaker bureau, that doesn't happen very often, but Abigail's story connected and resonated, not just with me but with every audience we put her in front of. I have worked with Abigail since 2020 on various events that we have run and we always get high scores for her in our feedback. I have also guested on a couple of her shows. Abigail is always an absolute pleasure to work with, is popular with our audiences and her messaging is quite literally life-changing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her." - Lucy Brazier OBE

"Abigail has just delivered a session on Productive Wellbeing & the 888 Formula, Creating a Resilient Workforce to our SSF UK members at our virtual annual conference. It has been a difficult year for us all and when we made the decision to go virtual we really didn't know what to expect. From the moment I first spoke to Abigail I knew she was perfect for our flagship event, I explained the theme of our conference and the brief and I knew she got it straight away. Her session was so relevant and just what our members needed at a time when work life balance is not as it should be. Abigail really engaged with our audience and gave a truly insightful and interactive session that provided so many takeaways for members to implement into their own organisations. It was a pleasure to have you as part of our event and we look forward to working with you again in 2021." - Lynsey Oakes

"I hired Abigail to be a masterclass host/speaker/trainer for a Passionate PA away-day in May 2022. I gave her the brief and said we did things differently. I needed a speaker who could adapt, embrace, nurture and excel in a not-so-average speaking gig... SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! From the outset she worked hard to understand my brief, the style that would work for my team and the best way to inspire them. On the day she was engaging, supportive and very fun to work with. Needless to say, feedback from my team has been wonderful - Abigail is the perfect speaker if your audience are anything but average and would relish the opportunity to see 'productivity' in a different way." - Kate Chasey
