Amanda Andlee Poland, Manager Learning Programs, National Portrait Gallery

Thank you so much for your inspirational and very generous presentation to our Corporate Division. You have an enviable ability to engage and take people with you on what continues to be a very personal experience, but so clearly resonates with a broad range of people. We appreciated how you related the take outs from your experiences to the everyday dilemmas and challenges. We were privileged to hear you speak, and the feedback has been outstandingly positive - I have heard directly and indirectly that for many it was the most inspiring hour they have ever spent.

Jane McGowan, People Strategy - Human Resources & Strategic Planning Branch, Corporate Division of the Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education.

Thank you for your contribution to our 10th Anniversary celebrations. You made a deep impression on all the participants! I was delighted with your contribution and as I had imagined, your thoughts, approach and insights provided us with a wonderful beginning to what were to prove an excellent couple of days. The participants remarked on your tenacity, persistence, spirit, enthusiasm and courage. To have someone display these qualities with such transparency, was a gift to us and you left your mark on the memories of all of us who had the privilege to listen to you. Thanks for giving us a piece of yourself, and thanks for your openness, the demonstration of risk taking, hard work and a confidence to back yourself, all important qualities for us to take into our next ten years.

Geoff Officer, Managing Director, Donington Group

Your speech, highlighting some of the positive things about having a disability, and the incredible problem solving skills disability requires a person to develop certainly bought home this aspect of the day for me. The feedback from my colleagues has been very positive; the thought of skiing down an almost vertical slope certainly made an impression! It was a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

Dr Ian watt AO, Secretary, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

Thank you so much for attending our planning session last Friday. All of our staff commented on your inspirational story and attitude. We had a very productive session in the afternoon and you certainly helped set the scene and open the minds of our team.

Ian Hill, Director, Australian Capital Tourism

Many, many thanks for your inspiring conclusion to CHIK's Health-e-Nation conference on the Gold Coast. You well and truly delivered on the brief and we've received great feedback on your session. You have a remarkable ability to bring an audience with you on your journey through life.

Sally Glass, Managing Director, CHIK Services

How great it was to meet Michael and what an inspiration he is. I'm sure Michael has the same effect on most people but I found myself awe inspired and speechless hearing his story and his achievements. I have no doubt after meeting and hearing him speak that there will be a great deal more stories.

Bev Borgas, Ramsay Health Care

Michael's will to achieve no matter what the challenges he faced was inspirational, we all could learn a lot in the way he keeps picking himself up and succeeding at the highest level, may he live a long and happy life.

Brian Haling, Toyota Dealer Conference

Very inspirational, very interesting. A great speaker, I had seen a programme on pay about him and it was great to see him in real life. Puts things back into perspective that things aren't always that bad and could be a lot worse. A genuine great Aussie hero who hasn't let his reputation go to his head.

Paul Cairncross, Toyota Dealer Conference

I found Michael Milton's talk very inspiring and amazing, the room was totally quite while he spoke, he held everyone's attention.

Nancy Nestor, Toyota Dealer Conference

Michael thank you for such an inspiring presentation. Your story is truly amazing… your strength, courage and passion for life is contagious. Your bar is set high and it has left many of us thinking about our own personal and professional goals. Good luck with your future endeavours… I get the feeling there are many more chapters to be added to the Michael Milton story.

Jacqui Price, Producer - The Seven Network

Thank you so much for giving up your time to talk at the OSCA (Oesophageal and Stomach Cancer Association) education session. It was an excellent talk / discussion and the feedback from the attendees was very positive - I think you motivated everyone in the room!

Francina Wade, Upper GI Cancer Nurse Coordinator, Royal North Shore Hospital, December 2010.

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

This 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

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

Michael is an inspiration! I would definitely want to see him again - even if only to hear him repeat every word.
