Thank you for your two presentations to both Executives and general staff at the City of Melbourne. Your content was impeccably tailored to the client needs. I have no hesitation in recommending you to any organisation that wants to improve the culture with their organization. Staff were buzzing about it for days.

Walter came to Yarra Ranges to speak to community members who had been affected by the 2009 bushfires. His presentation was just what the doctor ordered! He had a very special way of telling his story to the audience and relating it back to their own experiences. He was able to display empathy and give encouragement to move forward rather than be stuck in the moment. I have organised many events and activities for bushfire affected people but this was the icing on the cake. Thank you for being approachable, inspiring and honest.
