"The 605 Squadron Australian Air Force Cadets really appreciated your excellent presentation on the 19th November. Your inspiring performance was entertaining, informative and motivational for our youth. You gave them interesting lessons in perseverance and self esteem. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf, we greatly appreciated your visit. Hopefully we may be able to listen to you again in the future." S. Buscumb CPL(AAFC) WQD, 613 Squadron, Australian Air Force Cadets "Anthony Byrnes was guest speaker at the Women's and Children's Hospital Wallaroo Auxiliary morning tea fund raiser and proved to be a very interesting and informative speaker who kept the audience entertained and amused. There was an excellent response to question time and the feed back from audience members regarding their enjoyment of the morning was very good. The story of how Anthony became a helicopter pilot was both inspirational and moving. I would have no hesitation in recommending Anthony as a guest speaker. " Ruth Shields, Women's and Childrens Hospital Wallaroo "The 605 Squadron Australian Air Force Cadets really appreciated your excellent presentation on the 19th November. Your inspiring performance was entertaining, informative and motivational for our youth. You gave them interesting lessons in perseverance and self esteem. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf, we greatly appreciated your visit. Hopefully we may be able to listen to you again in the future." Steve Russell FLGOFF{AAFC) Commanding Officer, 605 Squadron, Australian Air Force Cadets For 45mins the children and teachers were spell-bound by Anthony's stories of triumph as he recalled passing his helicopter pilot exams; of elation as he got his first job; of anguish as he relived the horrors of attending road accident sites; of heartache and joy as his family circumstances changed; and hope in believing in what your destiny has in store. I would predict that any person aged 12 couldn't help but be touched, moved and inspired by spending an hour with Anthony Byrnes. His excellent use of PowerPoint added an enjoyable extra dimension to his presentation. Kathryn Goodall, Year 6 Teacher - Westminster Preparatory School. |

"Troy recently presented a corporate video for POPE Irrigation we produced and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Troy was professional and very easy to direct. He nailed his lines nearly every take which proves that he reads the script 100 times before a shoot which is rare to find. Can't wait to work with him again.

"Not only is Katrina an amazing athlete who shines with pride that she has been able to represent her country, but she is also an amazing conference speaker. She shares her story in such a way that people are motivated to get off their butts and have a go. Katrina has spoken at two conferences that I have organised and I will certainly be using her services again in the future. She is an inspiration but more than that, she has her feet firmly on the ground and can relate to people at all levels." Des Penny – Proteus Enterprises John Adcock – First National Real Estate |

"Ita Buttrose opened our conference and was an absolute inspiration. Her story of how she has achieved what she has combined the hard times and the victories and she was able to impart some very practical and positive strategies that could be adopted by every delegate. She was also very easy to work with,very down to earth and generous in her comments. We were so impressed that we are using her as a keynote speaker for our upcoming Adelaide conference also." |

"Dorinda Hafner was just the tonic our conference needed. She describes herself as a story-teller and that is exactly what she is, but her stories are relevant to the needs we all have. Her sense of humour and passion for life is absolutely contagious. The audience fell in love with her and fell off their chairs laughing with her. We will definitely be having Dorinda at future conferences." |

"Glenn was fantastic. He kept the audience entertained with his stories as well as presenting some very interesting facts about the Coopers business and how they plan their marketing/sponsorship/advertising to compete with the other giants of the industry. It was very relevant to a lot of the audience members as they were from small-medium wineries. I'm sure they were able to draw a number of parallels."

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the services of Rowland McGabhann” The Parks – Sports and Fitness Centre “Feedback received has been excellent, with the teams leaving the meeting feeling extremely motivated and energized”….

"After catching a glimpse of Take 5 playing at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2004, I knew the long search for the 'right' band for our conference was over. The voices of Mike and Steve Foenander are brilliant; it is rare to find such talent. The infectious, smooth sounds of the bass, keyboards, and drums had even the most introverted delegate willing to dance! Both young and old were swirling on the dance-floor, and howls of protest were heard at the end of the night when the band finally had to pack up and go."

"The overall experience of the team building workshops was great. The magician really helped to start the session in a relaxed and informal manner. The tricks he displayed were captivating and cleverly done. All in all an entertaining start to the day which enabled people to relax and sit back to enjoy the experience. The session with Katrina Webb (Paraolympics Session) was very appropriate in illustrating how teams must build trust between ecch other and rely on another to get the job done. It clearly showed how hard it is to build this trust and reliance on others especially as you have to depend upon them to make it work. Thanks very much to you and the team Abby." David H. Kinnear - SA State Manager, IBM Australia |

'Quentin checked out the Dinner venue with me, and after freshening up, made his way back to welcome the delegates during pre-dinner drinks. This is one area that I was most impressed with, as throughout his short stay, Quentin endeavored to meet every delegate and have a chat. At the dinner, he visited every table, some more than once. I don't think many guest speakers would have gone to this trouble with genuine interest and enthusiasm as Quentin provided. It was good to have 2 segments as Guest speaker, it balanced the dinner well, and people were not shy at asking questions. A number of wine gifts were distributed to those participants. Quentin's speech went down well, as did his impromptu answers. Toward midnight - Quentin and I had a go at singing 'Unchained Melody' to remaining diners. How he wasn't snatched up by Australian Idol - I don't know! The following morning after breakfast, Quentin visited the Conference area during morning tea and once again met with delegates and won more hearts.Thank you for arranging this special visit. Quentin is a wonderful gentleman with so many natural qualities.' Anne Oliver- 2004 NICAN Conference |

an act who had such an overwhelming impact on the entire show. Fruit
shattered our CD sales record and we can’t wait to share them with

that just have to be SEEN!!” |
