Craig’s presentation was awesome, very motivating and honest. I haven’t heard such honesty in a long time, very refreshing. I found him very inspiring, motivational & good at identifying then presenting to his audience.

To this day I am still receiving examples of where people have used your ideas, thinking and examples and of course lots of general positive feedback from many of the participants. We also ran a post conference survey and of the 50 attendees – 11 thought your session was good and 35 saying it was excellent ( the other 4 did not complete the survey). This meant that you received the best speaker result for the conference and as I mentioned people are still talking about the session.” Kylie Johnston, Chief People Officer, Wilson Group
