Melbourne’s favourite one-legged motivational speaker
Do you want to drive change in your organisation?
Are you looking for a motivational speaker with energy, humour, heart and soul?
Do you want to promote positivity, spark passion and uplift your people?
Are you ready to level up and have some laughs along the way?
Don Elgin is not your average bloke… and he’s definitely not your average speaker.
As one of Australia’s most popular motivational speakers, Don has encouraged thousands of people to ‘have a go’ and create positive change. Whether it’s in the office, on the field, in the classroom, or out in the world, Don will get your audience buzzing with good vibes and great energy.
His talks are tailored to your goals and designed to drive home key messages. That’s what you’d expect from any speaker worth their salt. However, it’s Don’s delivery that sets him apart from other motivational speakers in Melbourne and Australia.
Through authentic storytelling and humour, Don connects with people on a deep level. He doesn’t speak from a soapbox or sugar-coat the tricky stuff. And you won’t see any sceptical eye-rolls or bored faces in the crowd. From the first minute to the last, Don will captivate your audience with inspiration, entertainment, tales of adversity and triumph. He might even throw in a few Dad jokes. That’s a risk you’ll have to take.
No matter what goals you’re chasing – or what challenges you’re facing – Don shows that anything is possible with a plan, a purpose and a positive attitude.

What people say about Don’s speaking
Great success and the right choice!
Don was an outstanding success. His bright, engaging personality, and natural sense of humour meant that staff could relate to him.
Don is an ordinary person with an extraordinary story. Don is certainly entertaining, but more than that, he is positively inspirational.
Great Motivational Speaker!
Don spoke very well and was very entertaining. He has a fantastic story and is a great inspiration and motivator!
He knows how to engage the whole audience
I wish we’d had more time to have more of Don. He lifted the mood of the room as soon as he spoke, telling terrific, authentic, stories about his childhood.
He challenged us all to redefine what we think of as “normal” and has inspired me to encourage “too many” people to get involved in driving a more inclusive community.
Motivational!
“Don gives you the feeling that you can do it – get off your bum and get stuck in.”
Massive hit!
Thank you so much again, we loved having you here. The parents and the kids are still talking about you. So much positive feedback!
Fantastic Presentation!
Fantastic presentation, something that all our students would have benefited from, not just the athletics team. Thanks Don, really enjoyed it!
Put's a smile on your face
Love the presentation, Don exemplified such a great way to live your life that was inspirational!
Never fails to deliver!
Don, like a great wine, you just keep getting better. You’ve always been inspirational, but today was exceptional.
A great communicator who is able to translate the most important of messages. Thanks again.
Excellent presentation!
Really enjoyed Don’s presentation, truly excellent!
Incredibly engaging
Don was one of the host’s recently at Ready Set Connect in Bundaberg.
He was funny, engaging and I have passed along all his details to my company CEO as we would love to have him as a Motivational Speaker for our team meetings. Cannot wait to hear him present again!
Absolutely Brilliant
I booked Don to speak to a group of high achieving Year 11 students from across Victoria after having seen him speak previously.
He was fantastic all the way through the process. Easy to book, lock in and brief in the lead up and then delivered on the day.
He was able to engage the whole group right from the start and conveyed messages and key points that everyone can adopt into their own lives.
We received a lot of really positive feedback about the presentation and I would not hesitate to book Don at future events.
Amazing feedback from our whole team
You were absolutely one of the key highlights of the day and the positive feedback in relation to your keynote speech has been overwhelming. Thank you again for being so easy to work with and I hope we cross paths again in the future.
Makes you believe anything is possible
Don, you have a way of capturing your audience like no other.
Your willingness to share your stories with such transparency helped us to see that our differences are actually our strengths… and we’ve had some of our most change resistant people say things like: he made me believe anything really is possible!
High Recommended!
Don combines real life lessons with humour and passion. I highly recommend Don’s motivational talks, be it addressing a Board of Directors, a Sales Team, Production Staff, or even little Jonnie’s Footy Team. Don has captivating learnings for all!
The whole team loved him!
Don’s approach to life was an inspiration to not only myself but my whole team. The fact that Don gets excited by oxygen has inspired me to get excited by not only the big things that happen in my life but also the small speed humps that we all overcome on a daily basis as well!
If only one person from the group was to take on board 10% of dons attitude then my business would be a better place!
