“Dr Briffa spoke at our conference in Berlin and, against all odds, kept a mixed and demanding audience of around 120 people totally engaged. His energetic and humorous delivery style demands attention. Even more impressively, our delegates walked away buzzing with new ideas about how to improve their health and still refer to the session over a year later – a highly memorable morning.”
David Adams | Global Head of Finance & Capital Markets
Clifford Chance
“Dr Briffa delivered an outstanding session to a senior team of over 150 IBM management consultants. He more than lived up to his reputation for delivering insightful, thought-provoking and lifestyle-changing health and nutrition advice to senior corporate staff. His rapid, lucid delivery, combined with his deeply-researched insights, made his session the most popular elective session of the day, with many participants talking long after the event about the impact it had made on their lifestyle.”

“Dr John Briffa is a total one-off. He goes on stage at our conferences and then knocks them dead with his unique blend of science, common sense and humour. He scores right at the top on speaker feedback, and senior businessmen have been known to act on and benefit from his advice long after hearing him.”
