Testimonials

"Darren was able to pitch his presentation perfectly to a discerning management audience. Overall an excellent mix of theory to get you thinking, and practical insights for application in the workplace. Darren was easily one of the most approachable and down to earth speakers to deal with."

David Hoey, Australian Institute of Management

"I recently saw Darren completely 'steal the show' at the Thought Leaders Winter Showcase in July. His message about the helping hand of humanity is so critical and relevant to any organisation and he has a wonderfully unique combination of insight, intellect, compassion, straight-talking, humour and most importantly you can tell from his authentic delivery that he's a really great guy. The men in the audience wanted to be him and the girls wanted to marry him! I feel honoured to have had the chance to see him speak."

Michelle Bowden, Owner, Michelle Bowden Enterprises

"Darren's presentation at our conference was nothing short of inspiring. Our audience at the conference were highly accomplished Managers, Directors and CEOs within the workers compensation industry. They can be a tough audience, but Darren completely captured them with his gutsy delivery, high energy and the undeniable truth of his message." 

Ines Pirslin, Senior Events Manager, Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance

"If butchers paper and another round of artificial bonding games leave you cold you should think about talking to Darren and Change Works. Darren has been a partner in building our team from the ground up. His gift is to help people discover their values and strengths and to match these to their work. He does it plainly but without dumbing things down, engagingly but without gimmicks and has become the invisible but always silently present member of our team. I'd recommend him to anyone."

Anna Morgan, Director, Northern Territory Indigenous Policy and Programs
