Testimonials
I commissioned Reuben to create a workshop on ‘How To Become a Presenter’ and it went down a treat with the young people I was working with at the time. He was able to create a fun, safe and supportive place for the attendees to challenge their fears and gain hands-on experience in public speaking and active listening. Reuben has a gift for teaching people to celebrate their uniqueness. It was a blast!
Reuben recently hosted our BAME diversity and inclusion launch event – P.R.I.M.E. The feedback from attendees was fantastic. Reuben facilitated the evening with ease – he used humour to put the audience and panelists at ease and navigated uncomfortable conversations very skill-fully. Thank you
Reuben has hosted the final of our long-standing social responsibility programme: Deutsche Bank Awards for Creative Entrepreneurs, for the last 4 years. He brings positivity and professionalism to the event and is well prepped and researched ahead, ensuring that both finalists and panellists are put at ease.
Where do I start with Reuben?
Firstly we have worked together on numerous projects over the years. Most recently I launched a design festival at the Science Museum which was attended by global brands and design agencies. When considering a host, only one name came to mind… Reuben!
From the first time I met Reuben, I knew he was a special person, host and facilitator. He invests the time to get to know your product, understand the community and when hosting asks perfect questions based on the event and conversation. I find myself being mentored by Reuben on stage. He inspires the audience and does it all in a professional but humorous way. He is a humble person that lifted my entire team and his tendinous hardworking nature makes him very unique!
One thing is for sure, any event which needs a host, its Reubens.
I was lucky enough to work with Reuben for the launch of Design Can in August 2019, a campaign and initiative we launched to demand representation in the design sector. We needed a speaker to carry the evening – someone with everything – sensitivity, charisma, character, confidence and of course the ability to hold a room. Two of my colleagues had seen Reuben present previously at different events and waxed lyrical about his skills. Upon meeting him, it was abundantly clear, there was no other man for the job. Reuben is human and open, professional and prepared, hilarious and clever, curious and antagonistic (in the best possible way). He made everyone laugh, almost cry, ask difficult questions, get involved and be a part of what could have been a panel talk like every other. It’s a seriously special skill and I’m excited to find (and indeed make up) new reasons to work with Reuben in future.
