Noel has been the Emcee, the Program Coordinator, and a speaking coach for TEDxBearCreekPark for the past three years and has done an outstanding job. As an emcee, he is meticulous in his preparation and weaves his natural humour into creating events that flow naturally and are great fun. He is calm under pressure and always has a Plan B in his back pocket. Noel is a naturally gifted speaker. Audience members feel he is talking directly to them in his relaxed, humourous way. He is able to share these skills as a speaking coach and is particularly adept at helping speakers integrate humour into their speeches. Noel is a delight to work with. I highly recommend him as someone who will work tirelessly to ensure the success of any project.

Noel is the consummate professional emcee of TEDxBearCreekPark.  He skillfully maps out a diverse program line-up of speakers & topics interwoven with entertainment for seamless flow.  His introductions and transitions are well-prepared and thoughtful, with just the right amount of humour.  But there is an art to facilitating audience engagement while managing time at a live event where so much can change in a minute and Noel is the master!  He possesses two key attributes that make the difference – calm in the storm and is naturally relatable.  He’s not the focus of the event….but the quiet star of the show!
