From managing director to student, from politician to mid-career employee here is a sample of what people have said.
“I have recently been working with a top guy called John Chubb who is a presentation and speech-writing expert specialising in Obama-style techniques.”
Keely Huxtable, Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, Birmingham Northfield — July 2009
“I’ve known John Chubb for several years, through the Chamber. I recently attended two workshops given by John on how to use the voice, and the spoken word, to convey powerful and thought -provoking messages in presentations. As a writer, I know how important words are! Both workshops were absolutely fascinating - fun, enlightening, memorable and very useful. John shows how simple tips taken from the experts - including great orators - can influence and improve our own presentation and interpersonal skills in all kinds of scenarios, from one-to-one appraisals to public speaking. We can all benefit from what John has to teach us and I highly recommend him.”
Kate Copestake, Director, Copestake Ltd — April 2010
“I met John in 2009 when he was engaging a number of consultants’ to work on a strategic project with Urban Living in Sandwell, West Midlands. Allen Partnership offers a wide range of consultative management support and services, which matched John’s portfolio requirements. In all my transactions with John, I found him to be both extremely professional and personable in his approach, whilst at the same time demonstrating creative flair to problem solving and always keeping his client’s needs at the forefront of any solutions. Allen Partnership found in John Chubb, a person of high integrity, professional, open and honest in his communications, who as the senior consultant on this project entrusted our company to deliver the creative solutions needed.

“You Never Can Tell’ did what it said on the tin. New and exciting sessions every time. Gain key tools and skills which will help you develop and lead - 10/10 and would recommend to any ambitious professional out there.”
Christian McIntosh, Towergate Underwriting — February 2009
“You Never Can Tell has provided me with a valuable insight into the importance of presentation as a communication tool for the promotion of an individual/company. Various presentation methods were covered, in particular how to best verbally convey the message.”
Wilf Hadley, London and Cambridge Properties — February 2009
“You Can Never Tell delivered a workshop entitled ‘Maximising What You Say’. The content was full and varied and always engaging. I would certainly use the services of this company again.”
Kat Jones, Enterprise Manager, Worcester University — December 2009
“I approached YNCT with the following very simple brief: I never, ever seem to do well in interviews and I have the most important one of my life coming up, I want to feel that I’m doing everything I possibly can to prepare for it, can you help? The answer was yes. I was tutored on many aspects of how to successfully approach and handle the interview; body language, appearance, first impressions, confidence, assertiveness, conversation techniques and much more. The sessions were conducted in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the approach was very thorough. My advice to anyone who might have the same kind of negative experiences as me is to give YNCT a call. The session was tailored to my specific circumstances and was it definitely money well spent. Was the interview a success? Yes!”
Lee Phillips — July 2009
“I contacted YNCT as I have a speech competition coming up in the next week. This competition is for one person to win the chance to speak in front of an audience of approximately 500 engineers at a prestigious black tie dinner. With the pressure this brings, I needed the help of YNCT. Prior to the session with YNCT and having a limited experience of both presenting and public speaking, I felt very nervous and had little confidence. A session with YNCT has given me numerous ideas and techniques to think about, both in composing a speech and also presenting the speech itself. I am far more confident about what I have learnt.
Alex Lloyd, Mechanical Engineer E.ON. — March 2010
“When I went to meet up with John I didn’t know what to expect - I was needing a professionally crafted CV, and had a feeling I had been doing it all wrong for a good while. When I arrived he was extremely helpful, and was able to both craft a CV for me and give me good career advice that I had been lacking up to this point. Now I have my CV, a new sense of confidence, and a brighter outlook for my future”
