When you first read Graham Hyman's CV, you will probably ask yourself the questions:

"How on earth could this person be as good as his CV indicates, and will he be capable of delivering the message I require?"

The answer to these questions is unequivocally:

"With immense professional skill - one of the best public speakers I have ever heard."

Mobil had a need to address some delicate issues with a group of people and chose a conference they would all attend as the opportune time.

Graham Hyman had been highly recommended for his expertise in human relationships and the family. A short meeting with Graham to brief him on the relevant issues was all that was necessary to enable this professional to prepare for the conference.

The deliverable

 - one and a half hours of a pacey, humorous, thought provoking message for all present.

Graham certainly lived up to his reputation of being "Australia's funniest serious speaker".

I would not hesitate in recommending Graham to any corporation.

The positive discussion and feel-good vibes in the room during the cocktail hour was testimony to the impression you left on our audience, myself included. It was the most uplifting talk of this nature I have heard since I can't remember. later on and today I was thinking to myself just why you had such an impact and I think the reason was that the presentation was about life, warts and all, and what is, not what should be or what may be or even what if.

Perhaps it is because of what you saw in your early days as a minister, but the fact you had come to our day after speaking to (high) school children says much for your ability to connect with all ages, all types. It was a pleasure meeting and listening to you.

Best wishes.

Bernie Pattison, State Manger - QLD / NT, TIMBERCORP SECURITIES LIMITED

Thank you very much for speaking at our Travel Co-ordinators Breakfast last week. You managed to appeal to everyone with life's simple topics.

A breakfast audience can, for various reasons, be difficult to please but judging by the many accolades we have received you not only got their attention but entertained them as well, for which we are extremely appreciative.

Once again, our thanks and best wishes for the festive season and a prosperous New Year

CHARLES MARTIN Manager Corporate Sales Qantas Queensland

Good morning Graham,

Thanks again for your presentation - you got an unanimous "thumbs up" from the delegates for delivering a simple but meaningful message with humour and zest. As the bulk of our conference content was interesting & stimulating, but focussed on work-related projects, subjects and initiatives, your presentation was seen as something targeted at our delegates personally. They were very appreciative of that!

Wayne Pihlgren, HR Director Accor Hotels Australia & New Zealand

We have had a tremendous positive response from our delegates. They loved your presentation and I know they thought it very worthwhile, informative and I feel sure may will take on board your suggestions and ideas.

Graham, thank you again, a Merry Christmas to you and your family and we look forward to working with you next year.

I can be reached on 0414 444666 or email netta@cellularone.com.au.

Netta Obst Northern Region Dealer Manager Cellular One Communications

I have received excellent positive response from the Team on the presentation and I guarantee we will be incorporating the habit of placing something green on our plates each day!!

Thank you again Graham and best wishes for the future.

Biztrav Business Travel is a consortium of individual corporate travel agents throughout New Zealand. Collectively we transact approximately 33% of New Zealand's corporate travel activity.

Biztrav holds an annual conference for its members, usually at an overseas destination. This year we held it at the Park Royal Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia. We had 45 delegates in attendance. Our requirements for this particular Guest Speakers slot were for entertaining yet informative and worthwhile content. Something the delegates could learn from but also be entertained. Graham was chosen from a selection of speakers supplied to us, for his expertise in this area.

The topic was titled "How to succeed in business without failing life." Quite some statement to complete in 45 minutes.

Graham's performance was excellent, having the delegates in fits of laughter yet still delivering important messages. Please remember these people hold very senior positions within the New Zealand travel industry, and demand high quality in everything they do or attend.

Graham certainly ensured that we were not disappointed. I had nothing but positive comments from the delegates about Graham's presentation.

I have no problem in recommending Graham Hyman as an excellent Guest Speaker and am happy to speak to anyone considering contracting his services. I can be contacted by phone on 649357 2532, or by e-mail johnw@passport.co.nz

John Willson, General Manager, Biztrav Business Travel

For your information the subject matter had great impact on many of our delegates you laid a wonderful platform for us to build upon for the balance of the Convention.

I was very grateful for your openness and willingness to share many personal experiences through your subject matter.

Once again. thank you for the commitment you gave to us at Pro-Ma Systems and I wish you every success in all of your future speaking engagements.

Val Fittler, Managing Director Pro-Ma Systems

You certainly lived up to your introduction and fast developing reputation as being on of Australia's funniest serious speakers. The choice of topics for your talk, "How to Succeed in Business Without Failing Life", was particularly apt for the senior executives in attendance. It was clearly apparent that you held everyone's attention for the duration of your address by traversing some sensitive issues with clever humour.

I wish you continued success in delivering similar addresses to other corporate organisations.

Many thanks once again, Graham.

Max Rivett, President, Master Builders' Association (WA)

Speaking with members during and after the conference, I found that each of our members enjoyed and were enlightened after Graham's talk.

As the opening speaker at our conference, I found Grahm to be an invigorating and challenging speaker. He has a way of relaxing people by using everyday examples within his own family and relating therm to the real meaning of life. His speech caused all of us to become involved and absorbed by his quick wit and stirring delivery method.

Without hesitation, I give wholehearted approval to Graham Hyman who can enthuse any size group of people.

COLIN J WEBBER (Licensee Webber & Associates First National Real Estate)

I commend you on your ability to relate to the audience in an extremely humorous manner, yet without detracting from your overall message of "How to succeed in business without failing in life ".

Many of my colleagues and associates commented on how relevant your presentation was to their own lives and how the remedies you suggested to improve both their professional and personal lives, could be implemented immediately and certainly make a difference.

Once again, thank you for a most informative and entertaining presentation.

Graham Olrich President AICUM Queensland.

Being the first speaker it was of paramount importance that your talk be accepted and enjoyed by delegates hence laying the foundations for those speakers still to present.

The humane topic had relevance to the way we conduct our private lives, yet highlighted that these same principals were applicable to our business environments.

Your lighthearted and humorous approach to a subject which to many might be considered not for them, enabled you to hold the audiences attention span for the entire presentation.

It was nice for me to be feted for the selection of speakers, and I gladly accepted the accolades although I felt I must pass on my thoughts to the person who's input made my job that little less difficult.

Once more thank you Graham and I wish you well in what I am sure is a very successful public speaking career.

Howard Everson, National President, Screen and Graphic Imaging Association of Australia

Our members experience a great deal of training in Real Estate and it is refreshing to hear a different title such as your "Work and Family Balance", it was well received and we would love to have you back again.
