As one of THE best Entrepreneurship and Marketing professors in Europe, his teaching, lecturing and coaching in connection with our annual Man on the Moon Business Plan Competition has had a lasting effect on the employees who have been fortunate enough to experience Bill in full flavor - and thus he has had a significant impact on our organization.

Moreover, Bill has the rare ability to reach the listener at an emotional level, which swoops them up and bring across his messages in a powerful and very effective manner.

We appreciate tremendously the work Bill has done for us and endorse him as the great Promoter he is;"

Bill's intervention during our Nestle Greece Digital day has been a great success .His personal style and the bright content of his message has been the " wake up call ' that we wanted our marketing organization to receive;
- Laurent Dereux, CEO Nestlé, Greece
"I was fascinated by Prof. William Carney's charismatic personality and the love of life he was radiating. His style can be best described by the following quotation from the novel Faust by Johann Wolfgang Goethe: "Dear friend, all theory is grey, and green the golden tree of life". Instead of dryly delivering the underlying truths contained in the textbooks, he kept provoking his audience with questions and emphasising the most important points illustrated by abundant audiovisual materials;"
