It hit the right spots!

I have heard Don present twice now and it never ceases to amaze me how deeply I am affected. The ‘life points’ relating to his own story resonate strongly within during the presentation and long after.

His ‘have a go’ message and honest and open approach is wonderful. I have walked away from each presentation with a lot of my own beliefs clarified and others challenged.

Staff loved it!

Don is always a treat. The staff at the Southbank Institute of Technology staff conference (now TAFE QLD) loved his story, vision and inspiring words.

Don kept our staff laughing and is very engaging. Don presentation was delivered at a personal level, his story and inspiring words will be reflected upon by all our staff for a long time.

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.

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.

Everything you'd hope and more!

Don was everything his Bio said, entertaining, motivational and a lot of fun to listen too. He was inspirational in his delivery and truly understood the purpose of our curriculum day.

His ability to make reference to his experiences and achievements whilst linking to the needs of the listeners was nothing less that extraordinary. Don is a true motivator! He inspires, motivates and encourages you to taste life again!

Thanks for sharing your story, so we can make our story better. Continue to love life and the journey!

What a great start to the year!

It was a fantastic start to the year having you out, all the students were engaged and seemed to take something away from it.

No Limits in 2024!

Don’s presentation was excellent. He is very articulate and explanatory in every way, leaving no stones unturned. Very easygoing and happy person with whom many could learn a lot from. Don is an inspiration to all.

One of the best presentations I have ever been to if not the best. Thank you so much Don for your time today. Regards Steve.

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.

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!

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!

Inspires you to be a better human

I have known and worked with Don across numerous projects, and have seen firsthand the power his story has on shifting mindsets.

Couple this with his clever and unique approach to engaging people, if you engage Don you’ll not only walk away with many tools but you’ll walk away a better human!
