No more finger pointing or blame game stunts rather we just need to get in and do it.
Shire of Morawa WA

Tom was great.  Our members loved him.  His story was very motivating.  He was real, and didn’t oversell himself.  He was humble and sincere; his story was one that people could relate too.  His upbringing was inspirational to anyone.  He took the time to talk to our members in the breaks and answer any questions they may have.  He is different to most speakers as can talk to people at all levels spreading his message that anything is possible if you really want it.  A truly nice guy!

Tom O'Toole delivered a surprisingly energetic and totally motivating expose of his "view of life". Tom spoke from the heart, and in doing so generously allowed his audience to step up to the window of his soul. He is so totally captivated by the liberation of his life through goal setting, hard work, hard times, and the family experience, he could not help but put it all in perspective for our team, as we embarked on our mission of planning to move from "good 2 GREAT" !. Tom moves his audience with his theatre, passion and an almost undetectable generosity for those less fortunate than himself. You have to admire his truthful, candid and amusing, appreciated delivery.

Your presentation was extremely entertaining and an inspiration for those fortunate enough to be there; definitely a take home message for everyone ranging from beef and sheep producers to small business owners in town, to housewives. A great example being: a very good friend of mine, widowed last year at 28 with a 12 month old and a pregnancy not known about, attended the meat profit day (with the 4 month old in arms) and told me you are the one person she has listened to that has made her believe she can begin again. So definitely not only business minds were inspired! I believe Longreach is a better place for your visit.

Federal President
Liquor  Stores Association

Tom was an exceptionally entertaining speaker that had the whole audience attention from the moment he walked on stage until the very end. His message is simple but highly effective and he delivered in a way that all of us can relate to. He is humble in his approach and honest in his admissions, which engaged the audience even more. He made us all re-evaluate our paradigms and challenged us to think big. The pleasing aspect of his talk, was that he was not some guru consultant that preaches from theory, but a real person who has had to endure several knockbacks before he finally reached his goals. Based on the positive feedback from the 130 delegates he was a huge hit.
Smartline
 
Excellent. Having a connection with Augusta, Tom fitted in really well and was well received by all - we had guests travel from as far as Busselton and Nannup to hear his talk and all thought it well worth the trip. From the feedback I have received it may well be that Tom will be back in the region before too long to deliver more of his wonderful message.
Flinders Bay Corporation
 
Excellent - Thanks Tom. Tom was booked with Dingo to speak at our sales conference on Saturday 22 Oct 2005. And he was bloody fantastic – Speaking to our sales team from across Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK the message was the same and applied equally to ALL countries. From the success of the night Dingo decided to rebook Tom for our service conference on Saturday 19 Nov 2005. Dingo also invited leaders from a number of Dalby businesses to listen and they were left in awe. Tom said he may go for an hour, well an hour and a half later he was still going strong. And we loved it. He stepped off stage absolutely drenched in sweat and buggered he had given us his all. Having Tom speak at our conferences is an investment for Dingo’s future.
