What they say about Ian ...

 

"I witnessed Ian MC two events in Bendigo during my recent visit, and what I saw was masterful, funny, inclusive, and eloquent. I had no idea that he was an MC, only that I had seen few if any as good or better."

- Paul Hawken, environmentalist, entrepreneur, journalist, author and quite possibly the world's leading sustainability figure

 

"As the guest speaker at the launch of Western Water’s new Climate Change Strategy, Ian provided an informed, thought provoking and at times, very humorous discussion on climate change and the need for our organisation to continue to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Ian successfully engaged our staff and promoted discussion on how each staff member could contribute to the Strategy’s aims. Very positive feedback was received from our staff on his presentation and I would highly recommend Ian as an environmental motivator.”

- Les McLean, General Manager Commercial Services, Western Water, March 2011

 

"I would like to thank you again for last Monday’s workshop. I really feel that you engaged beautifully with the group. The session was unrushed although we covered a large volume of information. It allowed for personal reflection & for listening to others. It was a dynamic mix of stories, quotes, visuals, interactions & fun! The content, knowledge and delivery was excellent and I believe made so by your genuine  passion for spreading the sustainability message. Cheers to you!"

- Emma Douglas, Preschool Field Officer, Site Manager, Noah's Ark Inc, October 2011
