Testimonials

Since I was a teenager I’ve struggled with mental health, been put on various medications and talked to counsellors and phycologists most my life – it was great to receive a better understanding from you. I could see myself in all of your topics and the way you related your topics to stories.

Of all the seminars and training I have attended in my ten years with Stanwell, this is top of the pile for content and satisfaction. It’s not often I say that a two-hour commitment was worth it, but in this case it was and I would have willingly stayed longer.

Your seminar should be given globally mate, I guarantee it would save so many peoples lives.

I am aware that a number of the participants went home and spoke to their partners and/or children about your session, which is really rewarding in that the message is continually being shared – now we just need to keep remembering it and making lasting change.

Your presentations are truly inspirational. I love what you stand for and what you are trying to achieve in the Torres Straits. I asked [My Boss] when are we going to start rolling out this initiative across all our services.

Your presentation was one of the best we’ve had and was very impactful. You said so many things that resonated with me as well, which has helped push the re-set button on a few matters I’ve been dealing with.

Thank-you for sharing what you have journeyed and using that to impact the destinies of individuals and families. You may never realise all the impact you have had, but I think if you could, you would be amazed.

I wanted to thank you for an engaging and informative presentation, I certainly felt that it was beneficial to me in understanding that my “cracks” should not be disregarded and that it is certainly time to talk.

Also I sincerely appreciate the courage it must have taken for you to include your own family in the presentation, thank you so much for sharing this personal experience.

I took on board the 2 second rule.  I have been the sole carer for an elderly parent for over a decade, at times I feel so overwhelmed and recently I reacted in a way that was so unexpected and full of rage that I am still left with a hangover of raw emotions.  I am hoping that with this rule in mind and concentrating on my breathing that I can find strength to continue on.

I look forward to being in the audience of your next seminar, you have refreshed my hope that there are people out there who might even care.

I just sat through your presentation about mental health and I have to say I have been so enlightened on the issue and how it really plays a part on everyday life. Through my life, it has not been very smooth… in 2012 I was diagnosed with PTSD after I was involved in a sexual assault whilst completing Year 11. Ever since then I have been suffering with anxiety and depression with thoughts and intentions of taking my own life because I could not find a way out.

After countless psychologist and psychiatrist appointments, I just continued to feel overwhelmed. I have been on the up but still get confronted sometimes where I find myself questioning my life and why me? I seriously appreciate that talk you gave as I can now see the brighter side and how to combat my demons. At the ripe old age of 22, it is so hard sometimes to confide in someone as the experience I was involved in is still new and around in my head.

Again, thank you so much for time and I seriously hope I can use some of those techniques to combat my depression and anxiety. Mental Health really does suck but there is always a way out.

THANKY OU for your absolutely invigorating presentation tonight for BHP Billiton families of which I attended. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel inspired on so many fronts.

I was in the audience this morning and thanks so much for such a powerful message – it nearly had me in tears. I have four kids (been married for 22 years) and it made me think quite differently about how I relate to them all – especially one of my daughters who is going through her teenage years!

Paul is one of the most inspiring people I have listened to in a long time, and I guarantee he will get your attention and truly challenge you to consider your mental health.
