Testimonials

Peter Evans

We organise events for our members and rely on James to help us deliver our online events. Working with James takes all the anxiety and worry out of running an online Zoom meeting or Webinar event. He is patient, calm and full of suggestions on how to make your event as professional as possible. I would highly recommend James to assist you in setting up and running a successful online event.

Shelley Lawson

James guided us through every step of the project and helped us deliver a really successful set of virtual trade shows. The feedback from our audience was excellent, and James was fun to work with and totally reliable. We look forward to working with him regularly in the future.

Stephen Collins

James was recommended by one of our members, and what a find he turned out to be. For staging the first virtual AGM in the history of the club he was an essential not a luxury! Our members are, shall we say, of mature age and some had technical issues that James solved efficiently and unobtrusively. During the meeting he helped me (the Chairman) manage questions and voting. At the end of the meeting his idea of breakout sessions, where people could just chat went a long way to retrieving the much missed social aspect of our annual get together.. I received many appreciative emails from members, and much of this credit is due to James. My personal thanks for his time, friendly participation and patience.

Ariel Lasry

The moment I saw and heard James running a trade show I hired him to host our most important event of the year, the LS symposium. He is a fast learner and acted as if he had been in our industry for years and he performed a great job of keeping the delegates from getting carried away with the time. He ran the event in a very professional way, making a great connection with all the speakers and most importantly with the audience.

Alastair Flack

I have known James for more years than I care to mention. We have worked together on many occasions over those years and I continue to hire him regularly on a consultancy agreement. He is trustworthy, reliable and not frightened of a hard days work. However, what sets him apart from the average is his vast researched knowledge and his personable style, with which he never fails to engage with his audience.

Anna Leach

It took over 30 years of running the Vintage Festival to get James in. All we can say is, we wish we had done it sooner. An MC to fit any occasion, James injected personality, clarity and professionalism to our event to the benefit of our 4000 customers, 80 producers and us.

Helen Kenny

James has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I submitted a very last minute request for some help producing a Zoom screening and fundraising event for CanDo Action (Humanitarian organisation), and James responded within hours to say he could squeeze us in. I was immediately reassured that our event would be in safe hands and thanks to his calm demeanour and experience, we pulled the final details together very quickly to produce a very successful end result – including high quality screening and smooth transitions to the hosts speaking and a Q&A session. We highly recommend James, and thank you for all your hard work!

Delia Jane Ramsbotham

James hosted a virtual “Celebration of Life” for my mum who passed away during the pandemic. James helped us create an event for well over 150 people, logging in on 70 different devices, from 3 continents and 6 time zones. We live in Vancouver, Canada, but this event allowed all mum’s relatives in England to join. Thanks to James’ knowledge of the technology and experience hosting these events, he turned what could have been just another painful, clunky zoom meeting, into a seamless professional event. James was very proactive, listening to my vision for the event, clearly setting out what information he needed and providing very clear instructions. On the day of the event, he put everyone at ease and guided the meeting with just the right tone. One presenter had tech difficulties 15 minutes before the start and James came up with a solution that allowed her to participate. At the end James created breakout rooms that let everyone chat and share stories. The feed back from family and friends has been amazing. Everyone was so pleased to have been involved, especially family overseas who would not have been able to come to an in-person memorial. It was a wonderful send off for my mum, and best of all for me, on the day of the event I did not have to worry about anything but my speech.

Duncan Crole

James ran a very professional ‘virtual dinner’ dinner for us. He took the company through an evening of speeches, promotional videos and breakout rooms to provide a very enjoyable event for all. Thank you James

Julia Greenhalf

To hold our AGM virtually was not within our expertise, being the majority of us are of a certain age. James was recommended to our association and we couldn’t have had a better recommendation! He explained every point, thoroughly, calmly and with the upmost patience, answering questions in a timely and professional manner. He guided us through the voting logistics, covering every aspect of the meeting and possible potential issues. James recorded the meeting to assist in writing up the Minutes and we have received only positive feedback from members, asking if this could be the way forward for future AGMs. What higher accolade could you get?

Rosie I’Anson

James, Rebecca and Max supported us from the conception of our virtual event through to the final execution. Their advice, support and ultimately calm, technical event management on the night were invaluable. I will certainly be using Hasler Hill Consulting for future events. A big thank you from all at Leiths School of Food and Wine.

Professor Ian Ryder

In my long experience, James is one of the most skilled, sensitive and professional meeting host / facilitators I have ever seen.

Michelle Prince

We used James to help manage a large end of year Zoom conference across varying countries and time zones. He was very thorough during the complex set up to ensure all our needs were met. On the day he was entertaining and on the ball and helped everything run smoothly.

Nigel Stapleton

When the Ashley Park Resident Association had no option but to hold its AGM remotely, we had no idea how best to organise it. One of our Directors tracked down James Hasler and it was all solved! Indeed, many residents found the Webinar preferable to an in-person meeting!

James was always available to help us prepare and the way in which he conducted the Webinar for us was impeccable. In terms of his technical skills, client service and personality, we would highly recommend the valuable service that he provides.

Charles Wilson

Rebecca worked with us to design, develop and moderate our Penna London Tech week event on Talent and AI. Through Rebecca’s network, we were able to attract an excellent keynote speaker and build a first class panel developing some powerful outcomes through the event. We were delighted with the results! As a result, we would strongly recommend Rebecca as both a facilitator and consultant if you’re thinking of organising a client facing or internal event. She not only has great gravitas but is able to engage the audience in a highly interactive way with impact.

Sarah Thorne

Rebecca designed and facilitated a workshop for us to explore our business strategy exploring different options on how to grow and future proof our business. She quickly got to the root of what we do working together with us. She created a session that allowed us to explore ideas whilst keeping us on task to ensure we created some actionable outputs. She drew on her wealth of expertise to help guide and shape the session, giving us key building blocks from which to progress. She has a collaborative, yet decisive style and I am looking forward to working together again soon.

Eddy Jackson MBE

High-quality coaching, mentoring, and training is the tradecraft of digital natives in the Covidian zeitgeist. James Hasler’s exemplary soft skills and expertise successfully facilitated an exceptional Zoom AGM for a diverse group of non-technical registrants. The successful outcomes were entirely due to James excellent training and coaching to myself, a small group of organisers, and the chairperson. As the producer – coordinator, his persona, tacit knowledge, and skilful presentation abilities were duly recognised by everyone. Watch this space.

Andy Hudson

When I was faced with a difficult presentation and trying to find the right balance of information and entertainment to a technical audience, James’s skills proved to be invaluable. He was able to provide the guidance and motivation to allow me to deliver a very successful presentation. Highly recommended by me.

Angela Farrugia

I hired James to coach and train six individuals at TLC with a diverse range of responsibilities, but all of whom needed to grow their confidence and style in situations of client interaction. The results were great, and each attendee benefitted immensely from the workshop on many levels. I would not hesitate to employ James again and to recommending his services to individuals or business owners who see the value in growing their people. The session was highly organised, professional and personalised.

Gerry Brierley

My experience of James has been a consumate professional who imparts his knowledge with generosity and enthusiasm. His training provides valuable critique and coaches the best out of individuals. I would recommend James to any orgainisation including academic institutions who wish for their people to deliver improved results.
