“Take one incredible story of survival, throw in a handful of humility, a pinch of British humour and self-deprecation, mix thoroughly using sufficient science to hold the narrative together, and then deliver for 90 enthralling minutes to produce an incredible keynote lecture! This is the recipe for Chris Lemons’ outstanding performance. A true gentleman, who fully deserved his standing ovation! Without a doubt, the highlight of the Symposium, and a performance that the attendees are still talking about months down the line. I cannot recommend Chris’ talk highly enough; it is truly remarkable and delivered in the most eloquent and thought-provoking manner possible. Thank you, Chris!!”

Dr. Richard Issitt - Research fellow and honorary clinical lecturer, Great Ormond Street Hospital

Articulate, knowledgeable and surprisingly dispassionate (given his subject matter), he is able to spin a riveting yarn which will have the audience gripped. It’s an incredible story of survival, told with genuine flair by its humble protagonist in true edge-of-your-seat style. Hear him if you dare!”

“Chris is a very friendly, down to earth and engaging speaker whose story is hard to believe. He took the audience of ~160 through the story of that fateful night in a clear manner, using clips from the Netflix documentary to emphasise the story at certain points. Prior to the event, we had discussed with Chris the themes we wanted him to focus on in his talk and he was very accommodating with this request. We received great feedback from the audience who found the talk incredibly interesting - many went on to watch the Netflix documentary after.”

“Chris delivered an unforgettable keynote address at our recent Safety Expo in Aberdeen, leaving the audience spellbound. His story of survival and resilience isn’t just dramatic, it reveals profound lessons in leadership, teamwork, and courage under pressure. Through vivid first-hand storytelling, clear explanations and great imagery, he brought his remarkable tale of survival in the depths of the North Sea into clear focus. His address prompted many fascinating questions, it moved many to reflection, sparked meaningful conversations, and elevated our programme. I wholeheartedly endorse Chris as an outstanding speaker whose message resonates far beyond the stage.”

Rob Wicks - Managing director P&J Live

"Our society represents an extremely specialist allied health profession. Clinical perfusionists are responsible for keeping patients alive by artificially taking over the role of the heart and lungs. We deal closely with aspects such as oxygen delivery and cerebral protection which is the reason why we invited Chris to speak at our annual congress. Chris was eloquent and engaging throughout. He had clearly researched our profession and was highly respectful to our knowledge and expertise, allowing him to tailor his presentation to make it all the more relevant to his audience. It is a truly remarkable story and Chris does an amazing job of bringing to the stage."

A Nichols. Clinical Perfusion Scientist

“Chris Lemons’ presentation is a compelling story of will, desire, and perseverance. Chris commands the stage as he shares the circumstances which led to the fateful situation which found him alone on the ocean floor with seemingly no options and no hope. He does so in both a compelling and self-deprecating manner that keeps the attention of the audience so closely, it is as though they do not know what the outcome will be, despite him sharing the story in the moment with you. Chris was a professional not only on stage, but in the arrangement of and preparation for his talk at our conference. If you are looking for an engaging and thought-provoking speaker who will keep your audience in their seats, Chris should speak at your event. Your audience will love his story, but also his ability to connect with them from the stage, and in person.”

Ken Morrissey, Energy Newfoundland conference

"Chris joined our recent meeting as a special guest keynote speaker. The audience was wrapt from the outset: his talk was fascinating, terrifying and impactful - giving an insight into a world most know little about. The talk was a highlight of the day, and will create lasting memories for our attendees. Chris works to the brief and delivers 100% - happy to recommend you to others looking to create impact at their events.Thank you, Chris!"
