"I would like to thank you for your terrific speech and for being the key note speaker at our presentation night. The students were engrossed and were effusive in their praise. I don't think I have ever got such approval for my choice of speaker before! I enjoyed your humour and your lively delivery, but most of all I agree with your message."

- Gael McCalman, Principal of Templestowe College
