 Client Feedback

Australian Retirement Fund

"We were delighted with your presentation and the audience response to it... the opportunity for people on all tables to be able to touch genuine dinosaur bones was a great highlight for them...There was much talk around the tables along the lines of “Wait until I tell my kids about this tonight!”...Your presentation was a great balance of interesting natural history together with some lessons for people in corporate life, and all built around a unique theme that made the day very memorable for all who were there."

Real Estate Institute of Western Australia

"I'm sure I don't have to tell you how well-received your address to the REIWA Sunupper was; The number of people who stayed behind to look at your exhibits and ask questions directly is clear evidence of that. Also, the fact that so many people attended a corporate breakfast when the subject was so far removed from their chosen field is testament to the interest your presentation roused, and held to the end. For myself, I am always glad to hear someone deliver a great story – (especially if it happens to be at a function for which I am responsible!!).... your story had everyone’s complete attention from the word “Go”.  So – thank you Mark for a unique and fascinating presentation."                    Helen Mell, Function Organiser

"A very successful public talk to a near capacity audience of 185 adults plus children...Quite a crowd lingered on after the talk, and in conversation some people expressed a sense of excitement and passion." Kevin Coate, President

The ORA Jewish Women's Cultural Group
 "Initially we were concerned that this presentation would not be fitting for mature women (but) this has proved to be incorrect. You were certainly a BIG HIT with all the ladies and one of our best speakers to date. It was wonderful to listen to someone who has found his passion in life and delights in sharing his knowledge and exciting experiences with enthusiasm and articulation...Being able to touch the dinosaur bones and gold you displayed was an extra thrill for our members...We believe that the women have requested a return visit, in the near future and we look forward to hiring you again to inspire our group. In the meantime please know that many members have requested your details to forward to schools and other groups who will certainly benefit from your presentation"
