I was there today with 10 students from a low social-economic background (majority of the group were boys and one child with special needs) and i was totally blown away when they all told me that there favourite leader today was you. (and I don't think it was because of the muffin). I thought that the boys would have picked Adrian Barich from the eagles (no offence).

I would like to say a very heartfelt thanks to you for sharing the joy, pain and sorrow of your very inspiring story.

I wanted you to know that I appreciated the sincerity and courage you showed as you shared your life with us. Many of the students in my group commented on how they could feel the emotion and passion as you spoke. I was deeply moved (reduced to tears in fact) when you said "do something positive with the pain in your heart".
Tracey, National Youth Leadership Day attendee
Once again, thank you so much for speaking at our function. Feedback has been nothing short of fantastic and that's all thanks to you.
Deacons - Young Enterprise Network
Thanks again for the interesting, informative and highly entertaining talk you gave yesterday. I found it VERY useful and have already put your concept into practice by identifying the 3 key messages of what I got out of yesterday's event to present to my manager this morning (I also identified the crisis issues) 
Western Australian Police, The Making of Me
Thank you very much for your wonderful presentation… I was truly inspired by your presentation and came away feeling quite refreshed at the thought that I was not alone with the "Messy Head" syndrome. 
Rio Tinto, The Making of Me
Thank you for your energetic and entertaining presentation…I thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually incorporated the message box technique when I was preparing for a presentation yesterday and am pleased to report that it worked for me too!  
Media Monitors, The Making of Me
I just wanted to thank you for your very inspiring presentation. I have come back to work and given a few people a briefing on what you were saying but I was wondering if I could get a copy of your presentation??
Water Corporation, The Making of Me
I just wanted to tell you how incredible and inspiring your talk was - it’s not easy speaking in front of people, least of all about yourself!

You should have no doubt that you motivated and enthused many women with your brilliance. 
Great Southern Group of Companies, Communication Queens
I was at the 'Communication Queens' lunch today and heard you speak. I just wanted to let you know that I was so motivated by your speech. My mum passed away last week from cancer and I am finding that I am fighting an uphill battle at work, trying to make the most of every opportunity I find. I found that I could really relate to your story and found it inspirational. Thank you for putting it al in perspective for me.
Marissa, Communication Queens
Thank you for a wonderful 'presentation' today- it was truly inspirational. Having worked in the advertising industry for over 10 years you tend to loose focus on the important things in life. Your talk today has 'kicked me up the bum' to do what I have always wanted to do- run my own agency. 

Thank you again- you have inspired me!
Core Marketing Group, Communication Queens

Travelworld WA, Communication Queens
Congrats again on a brilliant presentation yesterday - if the aim was for us lasses to be informed, uplifted and motivated you certainly should be proud of what you offered us!
