University of Tasmania

"In the lead up to our internal engineering conference at Xero, we were lucky enough to have Theo work with our internal presenters through a workshop on public speaking and presentation skills. Theo’s delivery of the workshop was seamless and highly valuable. Theo has the ability to deliver his workshop and pass on his expertise in a safe yet effective manner. Our internal presenters learnt a lot, and gained a great amount of confidence through Theo’s workshop. The skills they gained from working with Theo really showed when the presenters delivered their presentations to a large audience. I highly recommend Theo as a public speaking coach and speaker.”

Xero

"Thank you so much for emceeing at the conference last week. We had some really great feedback – they were terrific subjects even if weighty, and I think the panel meshed together very well. Thank you for doing all of the ground work to ensure that happened. We certainly appreciate the effort that goes into ensuring this sort of session goes very well, not to mention the stress of ensuring it all happens properly on the day. Thank you again and we hope you enjoyed it too.”

Conference of Regulatory Officers

"You were able to make a a conference which people may not necessarily consider to be fun to be a really enjoyable experience. Being able to hear your entertaining and insightful bits between sessions was so good, not to mention your positive and welcoming nature made it a great time. As a delegate, I thoroughly enjoyed having you as our MC and wouldn't have wanted it any other way!”

UniMutual Conference

“We engaged Theo as a virtual panellist for our online “Respect, behaviour & governance” briefing with the Governance Institute of Australia. Theo was engaging, well spoken, and provided clear understanding of industry insight into the topics. His experience and knowledge provided the perfect addition to our professional panel and Theo was very well received by our audience. I would highly recommend Theo as a professional speaker at any of our future events.”
