Corporate lunchtime presentation: “Fantastic! Inspiring! Well done!”
Tony Bongiorno Bongiorno & Partners, Melbourne
Words cannot express what a joy it was to hear your story told with such simplicity and inspiration. You left us all in a profound sense of presence of universal and divine compassion. Over the years we have had hundreds of speakers as you can imagine. Some more than excellent and most of them inspiring in their different ways. But last night was an exceptional presentation for all who attended.
Pat Pilkington MBE, The Bristol Cancer Help Centre UK (Now The Penny Brohn Centre UK)
I wanted to thank you once again for your wonderful lecture on Saturday at "Claire's Memorial Day" I really wished Claire had met you- she would have loved your zest for life, your uplifting humour and your constantly challenging mind! The content of your lecture was fantastic - everyone in the audience benefitted in some way. You truly inspired people to "think out of the box" and live their lives in a new and exciting way.
Feedback from Claire Harding Memorial Lecture, University of Essex, UK
Grace is an excellent communicator to both large and small audiences. She speaks with clarity and a simplicity which is well accepted by lay audiences. Those who know Grace, are impressed by her as a person of humility, high intelligence, confidence, capability and a quick analytical insight. She approaches her work and speaking with diligence and enthusiasm.
Professor Ray Kearney, University of Sydney
Grace has been a key speaker at three of our seminars. At each of these seminars, Grace has provided inspiration and encouragement to breast cancer sufferers, some of who have travelled many kilometres to here her speak. Her exceptional communication skills have assisted many women in taking control of their own health.
Breast Cancer Association of Qld
Although I attended your seminar as a carer/supporter, I received more out of the presentation than many other self-development and health seminars that I have attended. I feel your seminars would help all who wish to develop and advance in today's world. The skills I learned will help me now and in the future; things I wasn't even aware of before attending.
Christine Barnes, Cairns, Qld
"It was a privilege and blessing to work with Grace, who generously shared her bountiful talent with our scholars . Grace brought to life the true healing spirit and intention of therapy, and translated this into a workable model which the students could easily apply into their day to day jobs as therapists. This spirit of healing is something that the whole industry needs to assimilate and Grace is a catalyst in making this happen."
