Motivational Testimonials
Emma Sheardown is, hands down, one of the most inspirational speakers I have ever had the pleasure of coaching.
It's rare for any audience to not have tears in their eyes, having listened to Emma's triumphs over adversity, from being diagnosed with quadriplegic cerebral palsy at an early age, to excelling as a gold-medal winning para dressage champion, to thrilling business and consumer audiences as a motivational speaker.Taz Thornton - Motivational Speaker, Business Coach and Author
Emma's enthusiasm cannot fail to leave its mark on even the most hardened of audiences - if you want your team to sit up, take notice and make positive change in their outlook, their behaviour and their desire to WIN, you need Emma Sheardown.
When the whole audience leapt to their feet to applaud this amazing woman at #TEDxPeterborough the hairs stood on the back of my arms. They do it now as I write. Emma Sheardown's story is a truly inspirational, empowering one. Emma perfectly represents to me what are the best attributes of a human being. She is bright, she is funny, she is driven to succeed and she never gives up. At #TEDxPeterborough she delivered an unforgettably moving talk, sharing some of her amazing experiences with heart, honesty and passion. Right from the start, she captivated the audience. Her courage, determination and natural affinity with horses shines through in her talks, as does her will to succeed and break down barriers to end the stigma around disability. I would recommend anyone looking for a great speaker to book Emma for the gig. Professional, down-to-earth and with the greatest attention to detail when it comes to serving her audience, she is a joy to work with. When I see Emma in action she demonstrates perfectly that there is "no such word as can't".

I organise and host Ignite speaker events. I have been so impressed by Emma's talk and public speaking that she has spoken twice at an Ignite event. Each time she receives a very well deserved standing ovation. Not only does she hold the room with the emotion she delivers in her talk, she gives practical advice to business owners. If anyone in the room is doubting their abilities or capabilities, once they have listened to Emma, they have no reason to doubt themselves any more. Emma gives them the pep talk they potentially need and is just superb. Amiable, approachable, interesting and moving. All elements that make a brilliant speaker. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Emma as a speaker at your event and am looking forward to her speaking at another Ignite event in the future.
