Claire came to Ackworth School to speak to the students. She captivated the audience and was inspiring on a number of topics through an interactive presentation. She encouraged pupils to think of their own USPs, to believe in themselves and to have the courage to implement their own ideas. Be brave, be bold and be determined! Her advice on interview techniques and first impressions provided invaluable advice. Claire is an inspiring person and showed you can succeed with in today's economic climate. The pupils and staff enjoyed her talk and I look forward to seeing her come to the school again.

The students are still buzzing from last week and we have had an overwhelming positive feedback from students and staff; they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The students and staff had an absolute fantastic time and it was a very well structured event suited for this Year group. We will be sure to contact you in the future for any further opportunities.

Claire’s energetic and insightful contribution to the conference ensured the girls were able to see a successful and determined business woman in action. The experience and knowledge gained from listening and speaking to Claire was truly inspirational and helped our students enormously throughout the conference. Claire’s support of our leadership and business skills development programs will help prepare our girls for the future challenges of working life within a modern and ever changing economy.

"Claire is a whirlwind of entrepreneurial energy! Her ethos JDI – Just Do It – mirrors what the Peter Jones Foundation is all about; that anything is achievable if you put your mind to it. She’s a big hit with our students, weaving serious business lessons with a practical down to earth approach. On a personal note, it’s a pleasure to work with Claire, always a true professional and she always gives her 110%".

"The UK needs more Claire Young’s! She’s driven, dynamic and most importantly doesn’t beat around the bush – she gets things done and achieves results.

“Thank you for coming in today to work with some of our students. From speaking to both them and staff members afterward it seems as if they have taken a lot out of the day. On behalf of all the students, thank you once again, and I look forward to hopefully working again with you in the future.”

Thank you again and I hope to be working with you in the near future."
