Speaking Engagements: Testimonials

"Murray possesses the unique ability to speak to young people in a manner which captures their attention and respect and makes them want to hear what he has to say. He does not speak down to them; nor does he attempt to present himself as simply one of their peers. He brings to professional speaking engagements an extraordinary blend of genuine life experience, specialised training, and a likeable persona. Secondary school students will undoubtably respond to his presentation manner and will hang onto his every word, before feeling perfectly comfortable asking him tough questions (which he is very capable of fielding – This is not a man who will be thrown by the unexpected). His professionalism is apparent from the first contact, and you can rest assured that Murray will work with you to provide the experience needed by the audience. He is highly regarded by the teaching and learning team at our school as a top quality guest speaker."
