TESTIMONIALS FROM RECENT CLIENTS:
It was a very motivating, practical and pleasant experience for me to listen to Michael and take away with me some of the important things he mentioned about disability, attitude, expectations of society, goal setting and mentoring/leadership. I found it very beneficial and would practically apply some of the thoughts to my approach to work, family and life in general moving forward.
Jodie North, Senior Events Manager, RDI Marketing - Transport Accident Commission Diversity and Inclusion Strategy Luncheon, July 2010This is the first time we have had a guest speaker as part of our team day, and your presentation to us was inspirational and very well received by all participants. The demonstration of your accomplishments and adversities provided a new perspective on our own lives.
Leigh Pierce, Director - IT Audit AASG, Australian National Audit Office, June 2010
We want to tell you how much we enjoyed your presentation at The Canberra Grammar School, Old Boy's reunion in May. Many have read about you in news papers and magazines and seen you on TV, your presentation made it all come alive for us...Thank you very much for an enlightening, motivating and stimulating presentation, you drew the audience in and held their attention, there was never a dull moment.
Alana Hyde, Community Relations Manager, Canberra Grammar School, May 2010
Michael is someone you can listen to time and time again. The way he manages and deals with what life throws at him is an inspiration to all and shows that we often sweat the small stuff without really remembering what it is that's most important in our lives. Thanks for such a great presentation Michael - you helped to make our conference the success it was.
Dorina Martelli, Conference and Events Manager, Bankwest, Retail Sales Broker Conference, March 2010
Michael was a huge hit. He not only inspired our team to reach their goals but also influenced many of our clients to change habits of a lifetime. Our clients reported his presentation was hugely motivational and that Michael had a way of using humour to temper some of the more tragic parts of his life. Parts of his presentation made delegates quite emotional but he also made them laugh. Most importantly, they talked afterward of feeling motivated to make changes in their working life to reflect the impact his story had.
Personally, I can't thank Michael enough as I also thoroughly
enjoyed meeting him and hearing him talk about his life - truly
exceptional and inspirational.
Kate Marshall, Executive
Manager, Business Support, Randstad 'Shaping the World of Work'
Breakfast Series, Perth, December 2009
Michael is an inspiration! I would definitely want to see him again - even if only to hear him repeat every word.
Delegate at Randstad 'Shaping the World of Work' Breakfast Series, Perth, December 2009
Inspiring! Amazing! Michael Milton demonstrates the importance of having a goal and striving for it. His problem solving abilities are astounding.
Jacinta Ducat, WHK Group Conference, October 2009
I was very impressed... even got quiet emotional at one stage! The amount of energy, persistence, strength and acceptance you have... is shown in the way you talk about your life. People around me just sat and watched in amazement at how easily you talk about the hurdles you have overcome in your life. I believe many afterward would question their own existence and achievements: personal, physical and emotional. It was an amazing experience to hear about your journey. On so many levels you relate to so many people. Your ability to achieve your own goals and to encourage others to look at life "as it is" is a real gift.
Dion Taylor, Health & Adventure Specialist, Wild Spirit Adventures, November 2009
I walked away feeling inspired. Congratulations on a great event. I'm looking forward to more quality breakfast events like this one.
Speaker was outstanding, good networking opportunity.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to an inspiring speaker
Randstad 'Shaping the World of Work' Breakfast Series, June 2009
I attended and was inspired by your speech on June 3 in Sydney. You are an inspiration to us all and I hope your mantle burns for many years. I have attended many similar events but none with such inspiration, impact and influence.
Richard Dalton, News Digital Media, June 2009
...thank you for taking the time to speak to the Australian Swimming team during the team's Orientation Camp in Canberra recently. The feedback from team members was very positive and they certainly took a lot out of the experience. Your presentation capped off a very successful week in camp for the team and it provided the team members with the inspiration to work even harder to achieve their goals and overcome any obstacles they face.
Alan Thompson, National Head Coach, Australian Swimming Team, May 2009
Michael was an absolute hit with our team. His brief was not one he would normally deliver yet he was able to meet our objectives. He instilled the values we want our team to stand for and delivered our key messages while ensuring his story demonstrated these for itself. Upon evaluation and reflection of the session, he rated highly amongst our team and we talked about our core values with reference to his story.
Anthony Elgamal, Marketing Manager - Cardiovascular & Metabolism, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Australia
I rate Michael extremely high… the thing that always impresses me about Michael is his absolute honesty and passion. He answered questions in such a frank fashion which is so refreshing and with the challenges he has faced and continues to face, he really is an amazing guy. I have and will continue to recommend Michael to other organisations seeking someone of his quality.
Rohan Gorringe, State Manager WA SA and NT, ANZ Financial Services Group, February 2009
Truly Inspirational!
Caroline Gross, Executive Assistant, ANZ Financial Services Group, February 2009
As the primary organiser of our second National User Conference, I would like to thank Michael for what was an exceptional, moving and motivational presentation. In the many years of organising such events I have not seen a higher level of response in the feedback forms than for Michael. I would like to recommend Michael to anyone that is looking for inspiration and motivation. We wish him and his family all success and good fortune.
Paul MacRae, National Sales Manager, Aurion Corporation (part of Ross Human Directions Group of companies),Aurion Conference, October 2008
Michael's presentation was excellent. I've heard many motivational speakers over the years and none have been better.
David McBryde, Sales Manager South, ClearView MBF Retirement Solutions, August 2008
Great guy, with a positive and can do attitude. Highly recommend him for work motivation. Great achievement.
Ninette Maddrell, Pittard Training Group National Conference, November 2008
Congratulations on the inspirational speech you gave at our Queen's Scout and Baden Powell Awardees Dinner last. You fully deserved the standing ovation and I know that every one of our youth members, volunteer leaders and supporters appreciated you sharing your personal experiences with them. We are in awe of your achievements. Our youth members learned a lot from your talk, including the importance of being positive at times of adversity and the need to confront barriers with determination. They also valued your perspective on what really is important in life and how to cope in a particularly challenging situation. You are both a champion and idol to the young people of ACT Scouts.
Neville Tomkins, Chief Commissioner, Scouts Australia (ACT Branch), November 2008
Michael's talk was personable and honest. His frank discussions of his experiences were very illuminating and inspiring.
Peter Cunningham, Chairperson, Ski and Snowboard Australia Cross Country Committee, NSW Snowsports Cross-Country Association, October 2008
'I wanted someone with a story which highlighted that no obstacle should get in the way of achieving someone's goals. Michael's presentation definitely achieved these outcomes. I saw a number of the players approach Michael to speak with him after his presentation. The fact they made the effort to do this is evidence they were inspired by his story.'
David Cassidy, Projects & Events Coordinator, South Australian Cricket Association
