"Thank you for sharing your exceptional talent with the NZ chapter of the National Speakers Association at our July meeting. I’ve seen you work on different occasions and I had an inkling of what was to come so it was a real treat for me to watch the audience experience you for the first time. You prodded them to laugh and provoked them to think. Fact is, it’s been a couple of weeks since the event and they’re still commenting on what some felt was the "best meeting yet." Well done!"

Mark Mayers – Tip Top Ice Cream Company Ltd.
We were rapt in your efforts in the debate and your keynote and I personally had to hold my sides together from laughter as you presented.
Viv Hanley – Australian Furniture Removal Association
Using Brett at our conference both as an MC throughout the day and as the entertainer during the evening was a smart choice. Brett’s business acumen was such that delegates felt he must have been a part of our industry since the year dot, as he kept the sessions moving along and elicited great questions from the floor. During the evening he had everyone rolling about with laughter as he delivered impersonations of famous people (cartoon characters) from all walks of life. I would certainly recommend Brett as someone who can make the difference between an excellent conference (we all think we run those ) and an outstanding conference.were rapt in your efforts in the debate and your keynote and I personally had to hold my sides together from laughter as you presented.
Lawrie Halkett – New Zealand Pine Manufacturers Association
