Testimonial from Simon Katich from GWS Giants

After giving a motivational speech to 15 people at the Horsby Heights Soccer Club, the man who got me there commented that "from little things, big things grow." And in front of a packed room at the GWS Giants AFL team's training headquarters at Sydney Olympic Park, I feel like big things are here.

I took a risk when I started my business in motivational speaking when I decided to tell audiences that a "normal" life is something to be proud of. It was risky because I thought people might want more - did they want to be told they could be anything they wanted if they just applied themselves right? Maybe, but what about the people who don't want to be world beaters? What about the people who want to be proud to just be a parent, or a team leader, or an emergency for their local footy team?

I wasn't certain that message was enough, but after these written and video testimonials from former Australian test cricket opener, Simon Katich from GWS, I feel like a normal life IS good enough.

Barnaby Howarth's presentation to our young playing group at the Giants was truly inspirational.  His positive attitude to life after suffering a major stroke through no fault of his own gave our young players an extremely important message to learn from when dealing with setbacks in life.  Barnaby’s presentation skills were polished and conveyed a good mixture of serious messages along with some light-hearted moments which kept the boys entertained throughout.
Even though Barnaby’s footy career is complete, we at the Giants know he will continue to kick many more goals as a public speaker and whatever he puts his mind to.
Barnaby is a champion.
