He was fantastic! Great sense of humor, humorus and yet professional. We experienced slight AV technical difficulties and he held it together very well. With his background in event management, he was able to engaged with the guests and keep everything rolling and on track. Everyone said they loved him and if we could bring him back the following year.
Real Estate Institute of Queensland REIQ
Trying to find the words to describe Shane is difficult as I don’t think amazing, professional, outstanding or funny even scratch the surface. He kept the crowd entertained, was open to all guests meeting with him and was a key factor in raising much needed funds for a grass roots charity that has only been around for 5 years.

Shane's story hit the mark as may members were either from Melbourne or are involved in plumbing wholesale. Story with humour was a success. Photos with Shane also made the night).
Plumbtec
Shane is a brilliant human being and that's what really shone - we've had accomplished speakers before but he made everyone in the room feel like a friend - amazing skill to achieve that with 120 people. Personally - he was great company and made the event a lot of fun for me. May his star continue to rise!

He was fantastic. I have never seen Shane MC anything before so it was pure delight for me to see him in his element and do such a fine job. He wasn't just an MC, he was entertaining, and that I think is the thing that sets him apart from the pack .I don't know how we can find someone better for next year!

"Shane was highly professional and did a fantastic job of keeping the night rolling smoothly and quickly. Most importantly he was hilarious too, he had the audience members doubling over in laughter and we have had nothing but positive feedback from everyone who attended our event. Most impressive was his improvising and thinking on his feet. Ten out of ten to Shane Jacobson."
Port Phillip City Council
Shane’s presentation was a highlight of our conference, being a thoroughly entertaining and engaging speaker for our Gala dinner. Shane’s talk was a great balance of story-telling, motivation, and comedy all rolled into one. It was even more pleasing to have Shane attend our dinner and stay and talk with all the guests throughout the evening and well into the night, which was ‘above and beyond’ what would be expected of many speakers. I would highly recommend Shane to other corporates looking for an interesting and entertaining speaking for their event.
