Pat Falvey spoke at the European Insurance Forum in Dublin. Marie Griffin, General Manager, Event Management International said, "We were delighted to have Pat Falvey agree to work with us at the European Insurance Forum  in the Four Seasons hotel. Pat’s attention to detail and professionalism in his preparation etc was impressive but his presentation and delivery on the night blew us away. His story was fascinating, riveting, engaging and at times emotionally charged. We recommend him unreservedly and hope to have him back speaking at one of our events again very soon."

Wayne D. Bidelman, F.S.A., MAAA, Managing Director, Life & Health Business who also attended the Insurance forum had this to say, "I always find sports and adventure situations as the most interesting analogies to business and business leadership success. The necessary planning, courage, and teamwork required of what Pat did are certainly important business success ingredients. To Pat specifically: there are many other stories of people who had hit bottom but figured out ways to climb out of it; however, few have literally climbed to the heights (after hitting bottom) as Pat Falvey has."

Stephen Divine, Managing director of TransAmerica International who also attended said, ""Pat is a remarkable man and his story is testimony to the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity."
