Seven has a wonderful way of bringing out the most of people with his open, curious interview style. He also has a gift for intuitively understanding what the audience needs to know.
I’ve had the pleasure of being interviewed by him and of being in the audience while he was interviewing others. It always feels like a conversation, rather than an interview or a performance.

Irina Ghorghiu, Co-Founder of ZIM Connections
I wanted to send some well-deserved recognition to Seven for his exceptional hosting during our recent panel conversation. Being the only panelist, I couldn't have asked for a better moderator.
Seven's thorough preparation and engaging approach created an atmosphere where our conversation flowed effortlessly. His insightful questions brought out valuable insights, and his friendly demeanor made the whole experience a breeze. If you're ever on the lookout for top-notch hosting, I enthusiastically vouch for Seven. He truly has a gift for making panel discussions shine!

Lotanna E, CEO and Co-Founder
“Seven’s unsung strength lies in his ability to open up your way of thinking. We often conflate who we are, with what we do. Since meeting with Seven I am able to differentiate between the two and focus on my true purpose.”

Ted H, Founder (on a programme Seven delivered)
Wanted to send a huge thank you for everything you’ve done for us over the past few months. Your insight and guidance was always spot on and I will be forever grateful for the program that you put together. I have quite a few favorite sessions but, if I had to name one, it would be the one where you convinced us to think of this process as a game - it changed my world. While I’m sad to see the program come to an end I am super happy to be able to call myself an alum. Many many thanks!

Working with Seven was an amazing experience. He made me feel very comfortable and was very flexible with me when life events caused me to delay our recording. I was most amazed by his wisdom and his insight into mental health and how that can manifest in Entrepreneurs. Seven explained what to expect prior to the podcast and allowed me to freely tell my story. He asked profound questions and offered great feedback. Honestly, I felt like he could be my son from another mother, lol. I have been a guest on numerous podcast but my work with Seven was very impactful. I didn't feel as if he was just trying to find a "topic" to discuss; but that it had meaning for him as well. I would love to work with him again and I am looking forward to his future broadcast.

Seven is intelligent and eloquent communicator, having known in for many years I have seen him continue to excel in his different pursuits and endeavours. Whether it's leading on a project, hosting and presenting or writing Seven always delivers excellent results.

Catherine Park, Community and Events Lead
Seven is one of the very few people I know who has an unrivalled dedication and passion towards supporting underrepresented founders to achieve their goals and success!
I have witnessed him:
- Host events and workshops;
- Support entrepreneurs in their startup journeys as a mentor and coach;
- Manage the key relationships with various stakeholders surrounding the projects.One thing that has always stood out in whatever Seven works on is his ability to fully understand the key points from a discussion and to be able to delve deeper on those points with either his panellists or entrepreneurs. In fact, observing his dedication to this understanding, especially around problem solving for his entrepreneurs, is admirable and empowering (as I'm sure it feels for those he's supporting).

Seven hosted our panel and he couldn't have been a better host. Incredibly well-prepared and fluent at guiding the conversation while having the charisma, humour and sensitivity to respond to the unexpected with style. Can't recommend him enough to lead panels, fireside chats, speaking engagements. Seven is a pro.

I was fortunate enough to feature in a panel conversation hosted by Seven. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience through and through. Seven struck the difficult balance of asking insightful and thought-provoking questions whilst creating the space for an open and honest conversation.

Joely To, Founder
Seven really goes out of his way to make sure others fulfil their entrepreneurial dreams. I’ll always remember the day when Seven had back-to-back meetings all day yet still made time to advise me on my next steps and provide great actionable solutions to my challenges. In only one call, I learned probably hours of content that would be found in an online entrepreneurship course. His ability to break concepts down into the simplest terms while tailoring advice to your scenario is incredible - I’ll definitely come back to Seven’s advice again!

“I had many struggles trying to manage a start-up. I soon found out that [my sessions with Seven] would not only improve my productivity at work, but significantly change how I would view and carry out the rest of my daily tasks.” “Seven is empathetic, prudent, and truly talented. He has gone above and beyond in understanding my thoughts, manages to identify roots I had never recognized, and guided me through practices and solutions I consider life-changing. I would recommend a conversation with Seven to anyone.” “Seven… has without a doubt made a huge impact on my life.”

Jessie, Founder and Software Engineer
“My session with Seven was invaluable, he was able to help me understand the root problem of a professional challenge within the first half of the session, over which I'd been ruminating for weeks. The session allowed me to implement a solutions focussed strategy, in a way that has provided a template for future challenges of a similar nature. Having this level of insight into my own abilities has enabled me to work through the issues I was encountering with renewed confidence and determination.”

Will Y, Founder
“You clearly know the [psychology and neuroscience], but that’s only part of the puzzle… You were able to relate it to me, to a specific case and personality, and bring out exactly what was needed. You asked the right questions very quickly to [bring out the solution]. I can see why it’s so valuable to entrepreneurs!”

Justine Lou, Freelance Content Marketing and Branding Specialist
Seven’s coaching sessions are so incredibly helpful and well structured – but he’s willing to meet you where you’re at, so if you need something changed, he adapts. What’s incredible about Seven is how intuitive he is, and that he actually cares. To him, being someone’s coach isn’t just a job. And it shows. When you work with Seven, he makes himself available to you and prioritises you. He's been incredibly supportive during a tough time. I highly recommend Seven as a coach.
