Testimonials for Alisa Camplin AM
Thank you, Alisa. Your energy and enthusiasm jumped out of the screen and was so well received. We are awe of how you engaged the team today (via telco!) in such a personal and authentic way. We've had really great feedback and I personally took a lot out of it. The content of your presentation was right on theme for what we needed during these challenging times. The team had been really flat...this will end the week on a high!

We engaged Alisa as a Key Note Speaker for our recent Mimecast Development Day. Her presentation was AMAZING! Alisa was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Her professionalism was evident as she partnered with us to ensure the content was a fit for our program. She carefully reviewed the other planned content, along with details about our brand and our Company Values to ensure she drew connections where possible – this approach helped ensure that her presentation resonated strongly with our audience and hit the mark perfectly.
VIRTUAL
Given that this was a virtual presentation with an audience dispersed across the globe, she took time to work with us to ensure that the technical delivery would be effective. Alisa shared many stories but also offered a number of practical tools to help her audience prepare for their own journey towards achieving goals and developing personal resilience. The end result was a highly engaging, motivating and thought-provoking Key Note session that left our audience in awe of her passion, energy and personal strength. We would not hesitate to recommend Alisa.

Alisa – I would like to thank you for your recent virtual engagement, sharing your Resilience in Action keynote Speech to 200 of our Energy Australia staff. The feedback we received from the virtual event was that staff were incredibly touched, motivated, and found many ways to incorporate positive changes into their own personal and professional lives. This is something that is invaluable at such a time of uncertainty. People walked away from the event feeling energised and ready to take on new challenges.
The entire end to end process of organising the event virtually was seamless and Alisa was so accommodating, highly organised and such a delight to work with. Thank you again for making such a positive impact to our people. I hope we have the pleasure of having you present to us again in the future.

Alisa was the most impressive speaker I have ever engaged at an event. She left the audience in tears and received a standing ovation. Alisa keeps everyone’s interest with her fascinating stories but also her business-like attitude to achieving success appealed to our guests. Alisa shared her journey in a beautifully eloquent manner and left the audience talking about her presentation for days after. Thank you Alisa
Belle Property
One word – exceptional!!
I was unable to attend the event however feedback from those that did listen to Alisa speak was overwhelmingly positive. I have been told that the key messages where inspiring and thought provoking. Several comments included “Alisa’s warm bright smile captivating the audience – with stories that tore at the heart strings, made people laugh, gasp at the injury count, and walk away feeling completely in awe and inspired by such a genuine down to earth, hardworking individual.
Everyone I have spoken to took something very special away from Alisa’s amazing story and mantra about “someone’s going to win and making the decision to be the winner”.
Alisa -Thank you for all that you say, do and who you are! It makes us all stand a little taller when listening to someone who worked hard, focused on a gaol and achieved the dream - success!

I really just wanted to say thank you to you Alisa for a really inspiring speech on Friday at the REIWA conference. I took a lot away from the conference but I'm glad you finished the day off. You made my day! You reminded me that although I'm a mum, I'm not just a mum and I can still chase my dreams whilst encouraging the dreams of my boys! My heart broke when you told us about Finnan and I cried when I saw your Salt Lake City clip. What an inspiration! Your achievements were amazing and you are still bouncing about full of energy ready for the next adventure and next chapter. I loved your honesty, openness and down to earth but positive attitude to life. I've already started working on a few goal pyramids of my own. Thanks for giving me a great new angle on life. And reminding me that we all have peaks and troughs but it's how we deal with them that makes us stronger.

For me personally, her story was truly inspirational. Alisa was so friendly and easy going and made the whole night such a breeze. We are all so happy with how the night turned out. Thanks to both of your hard work helping us pull this event together.

Thank you so much for speaking at our event last week. You were such a success and you made a wonderful impact on everyone present - young, old, female and male. Some of the thoughts that have been passed to me, from employees who were present, include: inspired choice, clear message on the importance of setting goals, having a sound strategy and self belief and the dedication and will to achieve your goals. It was also commented upon that even though you were speaking about sport, it translated to the business world and gave excellent tips on what each of us can do to achieve greater personal and company goals.

Alisa was outstanding and her message was in tune with our theme "The Winning Edge". Alsia's presentation received rave reviews from our delegates with many saying she was the best ever speaker at a Unigas Conference. She rated 5+ out of 5 on delegate feedback forms.
Tim Donoghue
UNIGAS
The ‘real life’ story from Alisa is both inspirational and compelling by nature. The true grit, determination to succeed, personal sacrifice and humanity of her journey were delivered with humour, pathos, and a conviction that resonated deeply with our audience. If the tears and laughter were any indication of how successful her delivery was, then the I guess the long line of those wanting to meet her personally was not surprising. Alisa ticked every box on our wish list for this important event.

"I just wanted to say that your presentation this morning was amazing. I felt like we all went on a rollercoaster journey of emotions with you - from the lows of being injured through to the ecstatic highs of winning your medals – and then through to the most incredibly honest and heartfelt account of your time with your beautiful son. I go to a lot of these breakfasts and can honestly say that I have never been in a room full of people who would normally answer phones, check messages or get up during the presentations, who sat completely still and captivated by your every word. There was certainly not a dry eye at my table by the time you had finished and I have no doubt this was shared across the rest of the room. Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you on such a captivating and entertaining presentation – and for having the courage to share your amazing stories with us all."
"I haven’t enjoyed a breakfast talk so much for such a long long time. It was refreshing to have someone like you up there, being real and so passionate. Your ability to engage with people is amazing! I think what you have done for the RCH via Finnan’s gift is just another amazing and inspiring way you have contributed to the community."
Client feedback from the Robert Half Business Breakfast Roadshow
Alisa delivered a very well prepared presentation to the AFL industry about how to achieve the most out of your sport whilst keeping yourself busy, and building skills to transition into life after sport. Alisa' story of advancing her professional career whilst winning Olympic Gold was truly inspirational. Highly recommended!

When I took a punt so many months ago to secure Alisa Camplin-Warner as our guest speaker, I could not have anticipated the reaction and feedback in having her at the PANDA event. Alisa brought inspiration, warmth, class and humour in a wonderful interview with Matt Tilley. Her candidness about her experiences and challenges were heart-warming and we are so thrilled that she agreed to support our event!
Anna Christofidis
Post & Antenatal Depression Association
In Alisa's presentation she states that she can't sum herself up in 7 seconds but I think I can do it in just 1... 'WOW!' Alisa's presentation was incredible, inspirational, heart-warming and heart-breaking all at the same time. The discipline and commitment she demonstrated with her training to reach her ultimate goal and own her outcomes was unbelievable; and the humility she showed when sharing her success and a very personal journey left our guests overwhelmed. Thank you Alisa!
