Partner, Co-Head of White & Case's Global Mergers & Acquisitions Practice
"I highly recommend John as a keynote speaker. His talk was engaging, inspiring and deeply relatable to the business world. John delivered a 20-minute keynote followed by a 15-minute Q&A at an event hosted by law firm White & Case, with private equity firm Cobepa invited as a guest. His story of rising from amateur to Olympic finalist in just two years wasn’t about self-promotion but about sharing life lessons directly applicable to business. For example, he emphasized embracing pressure and how consistency outperforms had work. His high energy further enhanced the experience. For these reasons, I strongly endorse John as a keynote speaker."
Programme Manager at The Merode
"John Heymans was recently invited to speak at The Merode, a private members club in Brussels. With his compelling insights from his Olympic journey, John captivated the audience, sharing not only the highs of elite competition but also the hurdles and setbacks that shaped his path to success.
His talk highlighted crucial lessons on peak performance, building resilience in the face of intense media scrutiny and external expectations, and the continuous journey of personal growth. By illustrating the discipline and mental fortitude required in athletics, he drew powerful connections to the challenges faced in both the business world and personal life, offering strategies that apply beyond the track. His authenticity and openness made his message even more impactful, leaving attendees inspired and reflective.
We sincerely thank John for his exceptional contribution and wholeheartedly recommend him as a keynote speaker. His unique ability to engage, motivate, and inspire audiences with his story is a testament to his passion and expertise."
