Everyone thought Don was fantastic, inspirational, and some people said that what he spoke about couldn’t have been put better. He was sensational and a pleasure to listen to.

He was rated as one of the ‘favourite’ presenters of the day. Please pass on our thanks to him.

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.

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.

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.

Don spoke very well and was very entertaining. He has a fantastic story and is a great inspiration and motivator!

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.

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!

There was such a buzz, after your talk, from everyone who attended. It was terrific and very inspiring. Still smiling at doors even on Monday morning! We really appreciate the time and effort you put in! Once again many thanks.

“Don gives you the feeling that you can do it – get off your bum and get stuck in.”
