“Alex delivered a highly engaging session for Kingspan as part of our Cyber Security Awareness Month. What particularly stood out was how naturally he was able to draw on his experience in professional motorsport and connect it to the importance of cyber security, making the subject accessible and relevant to our employees.
He used practical examples from racing to demonstrate key principles including situational awareness, risk management, preparation, teamwork, and the human element. The parallels he drew between the split-second decisions required on track and the everyday decisions employees make around cyber security made the content particularly relatable and effective.
His delivery was confident, professional, and engaging throughout. Alex brought a unique perspective to the discussion and demonstrated how experiences from motorsport can translate into meaningful lessons for a wider business audience. He was able to connect with our employees while keeping the content informative, practical, and easy to understand.”

“Alex, thank you for sharing your story. I came away from your session feeling genuinely inspired and incredibly impressed by everything you spoke about. Hearing about your journey as a racing driver, your ambitions, the sacrifices you’ve made, and the resilience you’ve shown to pursue your goals gave us all a fascinating insight into a world that most of us can only imagine.
What stood out most to me was not just your talent and determination on the track, but your mindset off it. Your openness about the importance of mental health, the role of positive affirmations, and your commitment to learning, improving, and growing from every experience was both refreshing and powerful. It takes real self-awareness and discipline to approach each day with that mindset.
You are a fantastic example of what can be achieved through hard work, perseverance, humility, and self-belief. Your passion is infectious, and your willingness to share both the challenges and the successes made your message all the more impactful.
I feel very fortunate to have been in the audience and to have heard your story firsthand. Thank you for your honesty, authenticity, and inspiration. Wishing you every success, happiness, and opportunity in the years ahead. You truly deserve it, and I have no doubt that there are many great achievements still to come.
What an exceptional young man and an outstanding ambassador for his sport – thanks Origina for the pleasure of hearing him. Best of luck, Alex. We’re all rooting for you & get better soon.”- Veronica Moore, Origina.

“Alex is a clear, professional speaker. His TEDx talk stood out for its originality of the idea along with combining insights on the evolving landscape of modern sport and business. In his talk, Alex explored how motorsport has transformed from a performance-first discipline into a sophisticated commercial entity. Drawing on his own journey from his university days at Trinity to professional racing, he demonstrated how today’s drivers must master far more than technical skill. His talk touched on the role of sponsorship strategy, personal branding, financial literacy, data fluency, and networking that play a decisive role in sustaining a racing career.
His message was clear: in modern motorsport, talent may get a driver noticed, but business thinking keeps them on the track. What distinguished Alex as a speaker was his ability to translate this personal experience into universal lessons about change, adaptability, and the intersection of passion and strategy. His delivery was engaging, polished, and accessible to audiences beyond motorsport. Alex has natural stage presence and a compelling story to tell. This combination makes him an excellent fit as a professional speaker. His TEDx talk will be available in April 2026 to view on the TED.com Web site. I highly recommend Alex Denning without hesitation.”
