The feedback was excellent.  Brett responded brilliantly to our needs and was not only very professional but also very good on his feet.  Our people related well to the four key points he presented and especially enjoyed the laughs and the opportunity to hear one of New Zealand’s best speakers.

We have had many conferences and guest speakers over the years and your presentation was simply superb. I have only heard very favourable comments from all the attendees who were amazed at the different people you portrayed, particularly Ronald Reagan. In amongst the humour, there was also a good message which I am sure they have all taken on board.

Excellent. It was a pleasure working with Brett during the course of the conference. He was very professional but down-to-earth at the same time. Would definitely ask Brett to MC one of our conferences again.
