I have received a lot of very positive & favourable comments after Shane’s talk. People thought he was warm, entertaining and related his talk to our company. Personally I think he made the balance between talking about himself to get engagement as a motivating speaker, and fitting in with our brief very well. Overall it was a very positive experience & very beneficial to have Shane speak at our conference.
Darren Barlow, Bioden Idec Australia

Shane Heal is a consummate professional, as seen recently when we had Shane speak to a group of clients across entertainment, lifestyle and technology companies. We decided to approach Shane to speak because not only is his story inspiring; Olympian, NBL champion, NBA player and Head coach, but because there are so many correlations between business, entrepreneurship and sports. Shane had everyone engaged from the moment he started. Whether it was a story about inspiring others around him to do better or taking on Charles Barkley, it was the underlying messages of leadership and not giving up when you're faced with failure that really resonated with the group. I would recommend Shane for any speaking engagement, not only because he's an Australian sporting icon but he's funny, engaging, inspiring and also a good bloke to boot.
Jai Al-Attas, CEO, One Meaning Communicated Differently (Creative Agency)

Shane was sensational at our event. His demeanour naturally gelled with the audience, and they were fully engaged from the get go. Our people saw a lot of synergies between what is required to be successful in their roles, and what Shane has had to do both in  sporting and business environments, and he communicated that in such an easy and interactive (not to mention entertaining). 10/10!
Philip Tolley- GIO Insurance

Shane was a pleasure to work with. He was well prepared, enquired in detail about the nature of the audience and was very willing to spend time with individual delegates both before and after his presentation. I have no hesitation in recommending Shane as a very suitable, motivational speaker for professional conferences.
