Manchester United prides itself on working with a number of key, influential personnel throughout the world. Enjoying successful partnerships with leaders in their fields, allows the Club and our associates to flourish and continuously develop.At the Club's recent annual partner conference in Los Angeles, Steve Cadigan from Cadigan Talent Ventures LLC delivered a truly inspiring and motivation presentation that was a highlight of the forum. Steve's knowledge and experience make him a pioneer in identifying best practice around people engagement. Everybody from the Club and other partners learnt a huge amount from Steve's engaging presentation and look forward to hearing from him again.

Steve blew me away the first time we met. His honesty, passion and obsession about the power of people in the workplace opened my eyes to the possibilities open to great businesses with great people who work together on a common goal. Steve tells with candour the story of Linked In from start up to IPO. He has engaged audiences at my request from C-Suite to front line employees and inspired them to create environments where best people flourish and create real value. I overheard one employee leaving Steve's talk saying "I get it…it's all about people!

Without a doubt, Steve Cadigan is my #1 go-to for all things HR. While I was scalingTwitter, Steve was a great partner for vigorous discussions around strategy, priorities and emergency response! He takes a machete to the noise and gets right to the heart of the issue. What I found most redeeming (and unique) was Steve really held the philosophy that all business decisions are people decisions. He is wholly convinced that people are your greatest competitive advantage, and knows you build a great organization by helping people do their best work. He's a role model, and my HR hero.

Steve was our opening Keynote speaker for our 25th anniversary national meeting. His message was exactly as advertised, and he delivered it with excellence and professionalism. Steve is a pleasure to work with, an expert in his field and a consummate professional!

Steve was a featured speaker at our regional meeting in San Francisco. He spoke insightfully and knowledgeably about innovation and the future of executive recruitment. Steve held the audience's attention with his sharing of experience on finding and retaining top talent. The feedback was uniformly positive, and he left us wanting to spend more time with him.

Steve Cadigan received the most outstanding feedback from attendees at our 2013 Human Capital Symposium. Steve provided a straight-forward approach, with interesting key stories which made for an engaging presentation. He was able to connect with our audience - understanding the issues they were facing in our local tech industry, and providing us with ideas from his own expertise at larger organizations and in other jurisdictions. The feedback was universally exceptional - I just wish we'd offered a longer session or subsequent break-out sessions with him for our attendees!

We were thrilled with Steve Cadigan's presentation to our MBA students during their preterm orientation. Given Steve's background in identifying talent for some of the Bay Area's most highly respected companies, we thought he would be the perfect person to help our students understand what it takes to be competitive in today's market.To say that Steve exceeded all of our expectations is an understatement. Drawing from his own experiences at places like LinkedIn, Steve painted a realistic picture of the challenges MBA graduates face in today's market and offered some sound advice as to how to overcome them. A couple weeks after preterm, we surveyed our students on their MBA on-boarding experience. By a significant margin, Steve's talk resonated with our students the most. They are still talking about the messages he delivered. There is no question that our students are better prepared for their MBA journey because of Steve.

EEC15 had the pleasure of having Steve on our main stage. He is a brilliant and energetic speaker, got the audience completely engaged. Inspiring keynote on what it takes to be a great leader in the Digital Economy.

We would personally want to thank Steve for his participation at the first Global Docomo Digital annual Kick off meeting in Lisbon, Portugal. Steve was tremendously inspiring for all of us through the birth of Docomo Digital (www.docomodigital.com), a new global initiative by NTT Docomo. The theme of the event was "Turning Your Dream Into Reality", and Steve shared with us his experience thru the amazing story of Linkedin challenges, to become what it is today, and how this could be applicable in several aspects to Docomo Digital and its ambitions.

Steve Cadigan put out third annual HR Americas event over the top. Prior to our events, we interview and consider many top-notch speakers but it was clear after just one phone call with Steve that he would not only meet our standards but that he would be our closing keynote speaker. It can be a difficult speaking slot -- right after lunch, right before the conference concludes. If your last speaker isn't hitting on all cylinders, you're in trouble. And, like I say, he was excellent. Everyone was captivated, engaged, pounding him with question after question.

If you have a chance to work with Steve Cadigan—for any reason at all—grab it! You will learn a lot. You will enjoy the experience. You will benefit from knowing and working with Steve in ways large and small. And it's not just about the work. It's about what kind of person Steve is. Trust me: you want to work with Steve.

I count myself fortunate that after seeing Steve speak at large venue in London, I was able to convince him to spend a few days with my UK business, one day talking talent and digital transformation with my leadership team and the second day holding a series of expert speaker events open to our entire UK organization. Steve was fantastic in both settings: insightful, incisive, thought-provoking, engaging and an amazing mix of humble and challenging. He drew rave reviews from employees across the business, and I know he has significantly accelerated the change the leadership team is driving.

Steve is a dynamic and charismatic speaker. He brings energy, enthusiasm and expertise to the conversation, creating a highly engaging experience for the audience.

It was a pleasure to hear Steve at OnWave Summit 2019. His speech was great showing how challenging is recruiting and keeping top talent nowadays. Steve's talk was a truly inspirational session to discover different options to empower employees and to put our companies in the new wave of the workforce. The stories he shared and the engagement with the attendees during the whole experience was wonderful.

Steve was a valuable contribution as a speaker for a demanding audience that expects extraordinary inspiration and innovation: the CEOs of large companies in Spain. These top executives discovered and enjoyed Steve's proposals for leadership and talent management in the digital age. Thanks to Steve for sharing your experience, the most relevant trends and best practices and your ideas.
