Your presentation was inspirational, and as MC of our Gala dinner, you were an outstanding success. In a word, you were sensational. I would be delighted if you would join us again next year in Paris.

I wanted to congratulate you on an excellent presentation. My wife and I were impressed with your philosophy on both business and life. As an aside, I believe your presentation did more for Australia in this region than any number of trade shows.

Alan Patching is a sensational presenter with a seldom seen mix of entertainment, presence and take-home-and-use content.

I admit to being a little wary when I booked an Australian to present to our leading clients. I need not have been concerned. The feedback was amazing, and people are still asking 'how did you get onto that guy?'
Alan Patching's presentation was thought provoking yet very entertaining. From his vast business experience and the thorough pre-event research he undertook, he tailored the perfect presentation for us. I doubt a single person left that room without immediately making some changes in the way they conduct their life and business.
This speaker delivers great content – great wisdom actually – and he does it with personality and humour. He literally inspires a group from the moment he walks into the room."

We all enjoyed your remarks very much. The issues you canvass are very relevant and need to be addressed at senior levels within all contemporary organisations. The group was particularly engaged by your ideas and it was obvious that they were enjoying themselves. We very much appreciated the humour and wit you brought to the event.

Many motivational speakers excite a group and leave them wanting. You focused them on crucial issues and tangible business suggestions they can immediately work into their business plans, and they were begging for more. Thank you for an A1 presentation.

What an opening to our conference! In just 25 minutes you informed, excited and mesmerised, and set the tone for the next two days. The State Government is now considering running this conference with us every year, and I think you should take much of the credit for this happy outcome.

Mr. Patching gave an excellent talk to a group of leading New York City architects, engineers and contractors. His approaches to corporate development, team building, strategizing and marketing were unique and insightful and were extraordinarily well received by our group of jaded and overworked business executives. In addition to being informative, the lecture was also very enjoyable. Mr. Patching has loads of personality and a wonderful sense of humor.
I personally enjoyed the lecture so much that I am actively recruiting Mr. Patching to address another group to which I belong that is comprised solely of Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers.

Alan Patching's well-researched presentation was the best in our program and the feedback from the delegates rated his session the best over the 3-day conference.
The Finance and Insurance industry is a very challenging environment to work in and the delegates are always critical in their approach to speakers so the wonderful feedback was a credit to Alan's hard work and humorous presentation style!.
It was also wonderful to have him MC the Gala Event – he added a great sense of style to the occasion.
The team at Convention & Incentive Services look forward to the next opportunity of working with him on a major international off-shore event

Alan has a very natural ability to relate to, motivate and inspire an audience from the minute he walks into the room. He was able to provide some wonderful techniques and tools to be an effective leader and to keep your life interesting- which were reinforced by his successful experiences as a leader on many diverse projects.

1. It was a resounding success, from a company view as well as the feedback from the 70 participants
2. The design of the workshops was greatly appreciated – a low level of PowerPoint presentations, a high level of interaction in the plenary sessions and some very soundly designed participative workshops
3. Behind the scenes, you demonstrated what you promised up front – a great deal of planning and preparation before the conference, but an ability to be flexible as the program unfolded and the conference themes developed
4. We all enjoyed the expert content that you delivered when required, as well as the ability to step back and facilitate/encourage participation by others
5. There was also an appreciation of the strong personal growth messages that you were able to weave in and match up with the organisational aims of the conference
6. The creative team sessions were also a brilliant way to concentrate on those things that make us great and that we can take into the marketplace. Our sales and delivery people, especially our new appointments, are now very well prepared
7. As with all good facilitators, we also enjoyed the storytelling/humorous parts of your sessions, which illustrated so memorably the more serious points you were making
8. In brief we had a great mix of fun, learning and motivation, which will set us off on the right path to "creating sales success" for 2002.

I heard Alan Patching speak recently at a WPG Design Group organized function attended by a number of well known consultants and contractors, including several members of the American Institute of Architects. Alan was responsible for the development of the Sydney Olympic Stadium. What a wonderful speaker with excellent platform skills. He really holds an audience, and is a great keynote presenter.
