Harry Charlton, Chief Finance Officer, Parliament of SA – 25 April 2005
“Many of my people have said that they went away with a very different perspective on life. All too
often, motivational talks are one-offs with a one day impact. It is nearly a week after your talk and
I am pleased to tell you that people are still commenting about your presentation.”
Jody Pearson, PR Manager, Alexander Forbes

attempting.”

The time we spent together on Friday afternoon was WITHOUT EXCEPTION the most
humorous,uplifting,motivational and inspirational experience that I have experienced during my
18 years with the Company.The message was clear,practical and relevant to our people and you
manage to reinforce a very strong and positive sense of accountability through turning your
disability in a massive ability – “I am blind … what is your excuse …”
