“Awesome. Glenn Capelli is a twelve out of ten speaker. Fantastic.” Harvey Mackay - international best selling business author of 'Swim With the Sharks'.

Glenn pitched his presentation at exactly the right level for his audience, and they warmed to him immediately. He was able to present a very serious message in such a fun way that people greatly enjoyed the learning process. The anecdotes were relevant and sensitive. One participant told me afterwards that she had seen only ever seen two presentations that affected her life profoundly, and this was one of them.
---Unilever

Glenn, your excellent presentation and style generated great comment and was extremely well received by our delegates. Your warmth coupled with your compelling stories and anecdotes showed an obvious passion for life giving our delegates a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them. Your strength of spirit exemplified your professionalism, leaving our delegates with wonderful memories of their time with you in Sabah. I know all of our members will remember their time in Borneo and your presentation has guaranteed a greater business future for all of our delegates.

Dear Glenn A short note of thanks for your contribution to the recent LEAD course at St.George. It was a wonderful journey, full of unexpected twists and turns, great lessons and plenty to ponder. Yours is a rare gift, thoughtfully developed, and I felt priveleged to have had the experience.
---St George Bank

Glenn Capelli's presentation was outstanding. Our team really enjoyed the participation, the energy and the inspiration. All the feedback has been extremely positive. A great addition to any conference.
---Orlando Wyndham

People are coming up with all sorts of weird ( and even non-weird ideas ) at the ABC since last Friday. Thanks for existing. Thank so much for Glenn's participation ! I LOVED it, and talking to my colleagues they did too - even the more hardened, cynical ones...it hit just the right note, had lots of food for thought, and was the perfect balance of information and fun. Brilliant.
---Australian Broadcasting Commission

You have succeeded in delivering a memorable and entertaining presentation to a demanding audience for the second year in succession. I am now pressured to ensure you become a regular “fixture” of the annual Pacesetters conference. As always, your presentation style is humorous, engaging, entertaining and relevant. A conference organisers can ask for no more. Thank you once again. Glenn Capelli was so popular at last year’s conference, that he is the first ever speaker to be invited back for a second conference.
---Optus Cable and Wireless Pacesetters

Inspirational stuff!! There is no doubt any group of people, regardless of industry or role, would benefit from this kind of presentation, a wonderful mix of creativity, motivation and innovation.
---The Body Shop

Glenn’s two sessions on this day rated higher than any other. Participants especially like the fact that he used humour in his first presentation. He interacted with his audience and also forced them to interact with each other. This however, did not detract from the fact that his presentations were informative and relevant. Some feedback from the day : Provided great opportunity to get to know people that I hadn't met previously. Enthralling speaker, highly animated and engaging. Very clear presentation and relevant topics for business. Good communication, thought provoking ideas, opportunities to mix with team. 3H's Humility, Health and Humour. Exciting, interesting and interactive session. Key learning’s were fundamental to effective work habits. Able to put realism into everything. Glenn’s afternoon session was met with the same high level of enthusiasm as his first. Participants especially liked the fact that Glenn was able to keep them awake in the afternoon by getting them to interact with each other and keep them entertained. Afternoons are a difficult timeslot for keeping people’s attention as afternoon “snooze time” hits, but Glenn overcame this very easily. Apart from being made to stay awake, participants overall rated the information as relevant and felt that they were able to take the info and apply it to their own personal and professional situations. Here are some quotes from the session’s feedback form: Taking people out of their comfort zones. Entertaining. Interactive great for straight after lunch. Moved people around to ensure we met new people. Information relevant and easily translated into our personal context. Was good to think about the overall objectives and how these can be delivered. I didn't feel like sleeping at all! Interesting, involved audience and didn't lecture. Glenn Capelli’s audience at this event were very impressed by his presenting ability. Participants particularly rated the way he combined his in-depth knowledge with a fun, creative and informative session. They found Glenn’s opening session to be engaging, useful, interactive (both with Glenn and with other participants) and interesting. One element that was noted by several members of Glenn’s audience was the fact that he used examples and stories to illustrate his points. This helped people to better understand the points that Glenn was making in this session. Some comments: Very impressed by his manner, knowledge & content. Entertaining, engaging & thought provoking. Lots of useful tips to use in work & life. Relevance for all levels. Applicable to any facet of work. Motivating & rejuvenating. Different media used. Entertaining, using stories to make points; incredible ability to link concepts & illustrate theme; interactive. Reinforced key messages which I can take back to my team. Humour, relevance, simple to understand. Highlighted key points. High on energy levels. Styles of Management & styles of communication. Excellent application ideas - very relevant for when we go back into our business units. Kept us going after lunch! Provocative & evocative. Good stuff! Glenn practices what he preaches. Very interesting & relevant. I really enjoyed & got value out of his presentations. Fun, Fun. Interaction with new people without feeling intimidated. Great examples re familiar vs unfamiliar problem.
---MLC/National Australia Bank

Invigorating & stimulating. Fun. An excellent seminar interspersed with humour, knowledge, music & songs – the perfect mix for a great day. Fantastic – motivating – practical, interesting, relevant. Thank you. Fantabulous!! Glenn was fascinating to listen to! He was inspiring and thought provoking! Practiced what he preaches!! Included content / presentation to appeal to all learning styles. An excellent seminar. I hope to adopt a few of the techniques especially the positive and negative points of the room. Thanks for a great day! Fantastic – very easy to listen to; great to be reminded of the fundamental basics. Glenn was great – modelled different approaches – very knowledgeable, engaging & fun. Great anecdotes but also great info. I loved the use of signing and also the exploration of words! Great stuff. Music, movement, OHP, pictures, stories, exploration, groups – terrific! Thanks Glenn – this gave me a new slant on things I use in my unit. I really loved the “rooms” and your 5 “alternatives” to the 7 intelligences. Thank you Glenn, the most informative and enjoyable P.D I’ve EVER been to. Excellent Glenn – inspiring, motivating, rejuvenating, energising. Thank you Glenn for restoring my belief in what I do. You gave me so much to take away and put into practice! Too bad today is a Friday. I’d like to start tomorrow!
---Ashton Scholastic National Australian Education Seminars

Really enjoyed your down to earth and inspiring session at our recent Harcourts sales conference. What you presented re learning is dear to my heart and I have introduced accelerated learning into our training culture at Harcourts over the years and I am convinced that this approach works, as seen by our sales results. Cheers Glenn, thank you for an outstanding session.
---Harcourts NZ

Excellent! Outstanding performance. Received the highest rating ever in our post conference survey. Thoroughly engaging, informative and entertaining. Glenn did a fantastic job. This was the first time a speaker has been able to incorporate the conference theme into our message.
---Tricon Restaurants International KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell

Dear Glenn, I just wanted to say thank you for your presentation at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, in all the years of me working there I have never felt so positive about who I am and what I do. I believe it is all in the upbringing and I am glad it has taken some one like you, who has no connection with our organisation to beam a new life in our nursing profession. You are truly gifted I have not felt like this in a long while.
---Royal Adelaide Hospital

Thank you for playing such a big part in the success of our conference. Your knowledge, energy, enthusiasm and humour captivated everyone. All our dealers were able to utilise your messages and went away ideas they could apply to their own businesses, even their personal life. There is no doubt your workshop was one of the highlights of the conference. Our expectations were high and you exceeded them. Sincere thanks.
---Mobil Oil New Zealand Limited

Your gems of wisdom were to the point and incited us all to think more creatively and broader. Getting to know ourselves a little better is always an interesting experience. You stimulate. motivate and encourage us all to be interactive, thoughtful and aware of the differing skills we each embody and endeavour to achieve. Thank you again.
---Parks & Leisure Australia

Excellent - enormously successful - you were voted as the most successful presenter at the conference. 90% of respondents gave you an excellent rating with others rating you extremely good. You certainly achieved what I’d hoped. Many thanks for your efforts.
---Advanced Professional Systems Ltd, Auckland, NZ

I wanted to express some thoughts on my working with you at the Godfrey Pembroke Conference in Auckland last month. I have worked with many motivational speakers at a range of conferences, but I have never encountered one as unique as Glenn Capelli. You are without exception a ‘one off’ ...well and truly ‘out there’ on your own. You have a uniquely innovative method which I find very effective. You are able to draw from an audience a response most speakers would dream of, while at the same time deliver your message. In your one hour presentation there was not a moment when my attention was lost, or a moment of boredom. It is a learning experience and I think your audience is very much the richer and better prepared to face their workplace and their personal lives. I hope we get to team up again.
---Ian Leslie, Managing Director, Sobraon Productions Pty Ltd Film and Television Production

I was one of many to watch you motivate & entertain the “Pacesetters Group” at Ayers Rock. I have come back to Sydney telling one and all how fantastic your talks were.
---Industry Services Optus Training Session

I just wanted to let you know how energising and inspiring your presentation was. I have been to many functions over the last 18 years and yours by all means is the one my mind will always recall with vivid colour and energy. Your handout I have placed in my presentation folder and is the first thing I see when I open it every day, to always remind me there is always wisdom to draw on, changes to make no matter how small, time to spend wisely, colourful rooms to be in, and to do it all with a sense of fun, and respect.
---Cable and Wireless Optus

Just a note to say thanks for a fantastic learning experience. The seminar was very timely for us in our Strategic Development process and gave us more perspective on what we need.
---Taxation Institute of Australia attending TECconference, Sydney

The feedback we are receiving from our clients on your presentation has been extremely positive. Your thoughts were very valuable to our clients and will help them in building their businesses.
---Russell Investment Group USA

Thank you for a wonderful program at our TEC combined day. I found it among the most stimulating and provocative addresses I have heard.
---Crux Pty Ltd attending TEC conference, Melbourne

Many thanks for a great session today at the R.E.I.V. You certainly re-enforced many principals I value and introduced others that will benefit me for many years to come. You are a true educator. World class in fact.
---REIV Conference, Victoria

‘Thought provoking’, ‘fun’, ‘the time flew by’ and ‘a great session of re-learning how to learn’. The learning while doing notion had a positive effect on everyone. For us, the day was a real winner.
---Bank One, Wisconsin USA

We were very impressed with Glenn’s attention and ability to weave our story into his presentation. We were even more impressed with his presentation. It was meaningful, thought provoking and most of all FUN.
---HW Services International

Glenn superbly gave our conference delegates the ‘boost’ that we had been seeking. His address was captivating, informational and just down-right inspiring. We would recommend Glenn to any group seeking a snappy, inspirational talk from someone who delivers his message in a unique, experiential way.
---New Zealand Road Contractors Federation

Glenn Capelli – wonderful, outstanding, brilliant, the best speaker we’ve ever heard.
---New Zealand Organisation for Quality

Glenn Capelli is a unique educator with messages that can be understood by all. He is able to influence managers and leaders in the most profound ways, especially in the areas of strategic thinking, emotional intelligence and learning strategy. Glenn's style is empowering and supportive of participants and encourages them to really think. He gives freely from his extensive knowledge base and actively supports other HR professionals.
---MMI Insurance Group

Glenn Capelli’s presentation was creative, entertaining and has provided a basis for all of us to think differently in the future.
---Andersen Consulting

I was so impressed by Glenn Capelli – a very inspiring speaker, absolutely entertaining, some great stories, fantastic in that he presented his views in a manner that we all enjoyed and the content was very relevant to all organisations. Glenn Capelli was excellent, I cannot remember enjoying a speaker as much for a long time.
---Australian Customer Service Association

We’ve just had a fabulous presentation by Glenn Capelli where he really played to rave reviews. Glenn, in his learning-oriented style, incorporates humour and education in a way that makes it absolutely fantastic. The whole group enjoyed it. We got outstanding ratings, and people are already talking about how to get him for next year and do something that will make the next generation of learning even more valuable for our organisation?
---YPO USA Young Presidents Organisation

As a speaker Glenn Capelli brings a common sense approach to his delivery of material, designed to convey the message across such a wide and diverse range of subjects. Glenn’s unique and sometimes very humorous style affords the audience the chance to participate and become part of the message being delivered. We as the NZ Contracting Industry Training Organisation have had Glenn speak at the Conference held in 1998 and we have also booked Glenn to speak at our 1999 conference in Queenstown NZ. I would support and be referee for Glenn to any company or organization considering using his talents for there individual needs.
---NZCITO

Glenn Capelli, in my experience, is the world's best interactive presenter. I have seen him in action around the planet since 1992, and ever since have been in awe at his ability to change the pace of a presentation seemingly every minute or so. My own background is as a television presenter and talkshow host, pioneering audience-participation television, but Glenn's "involvement" prowess has shown how to take such skills to a new level. I guess we've also been fortunate to learn from each other. He immediately bought the world's best computer and projector packages, and soon was adding the best of information technology to the best of interactive, brain-based learning. To top it all, his sense of humour and timing is fantastic. And I have had no hesitation in recommending him for any type of international presentation: keynote, conference opener, seminar workshop leader or corporate trainer. He also shows a unique ability to work in a wide variety of cultures.
---Gordon Dryden Chief Executive of The Learning Web Ltd.

Thank you again for your great contribution to the success of both of the Amazon events. The formal and informal feedback received has been overwhelmingly positive and our main task now is to continue to build on these great foundations.
---Amazon Program National Wealth Management

Thank you for the contribution you made to ensure a successful outcome. The feedback that I received both formally and informally reinforces my view that the conference was an outstanding success and this was in no small part due to the role you played in adding cohesion to each day as the conference unfolded. You set a positive tone from the outset with your contribution to the opening and through the daily follow up to that. The final session was highly motivating and gave rise to much favourable comment at dinner. There were high energy levels, with a relaxed and collegiate atmosphere during the conference and I am conscious that you played a significant role in that. Thank you for your support and encouragement which began during conference preparation. I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with you.
---Conference Convenor Australian Primary Principals Association

The variety was great and my imagination is working overtime! Thanks! The process was easy and the outcome outstanding both in work life and personal life. I have had many words of thanks from the GM’s.
---SkyCity Casino

Glenn your sessions were really well-received. If I have a complaint, it’s that you were so very popular that people changed their minds about attending other sessions and came to yours! Thank you for being such an entertaining, insightful and thoroughly professional speaker.
---Group Training Australia

Glenn Capelli was fantastic! Everyone was extremely impressed with him. The best we have seen!
---Unilever Australia

An important learning for me was understanding that different people have different learning styles and methods. I will endeavour to identify people’s individual learning styles so that I can best communicate to them for maximum understanding. The presenter was fantastic - Glenn Capelli is obviously an extremely knowledgeable and intelligent person. His presentation style and personality makes learning interesting and fun. His technique of winding stories into theoretical content amazed me. I found the intertwining of the theoretical with the practical into a real life scenario invaluable.
---Commonwealth Bank Australia

Excellent information that reached the private and business lives of our guests. Lots of participation, laughing and yelling. Kept them all at full attention. Outstanding, the best we have seen!
---Top Traders Retail Conference

Thank You for getting us off to a roaring start to the Ernst & Young Management Development Program. The two days were truly inspirational. Glenn presented the material extremely well and there was a nice blend of brain and body activity. Content, process and facilitator were great. I’d find it hard to fault the course in any way. Glenn was excellent, just the right blend of idealistic and pragmatic. Excellent, irreverent, always relevant, huge repertoire of experience and skills and jokes, facts when necessary, more variety than you could shake a stick at and yet consistent. I like the style and personality of Glenn. Two weeks on and I am still utilising new found ideas. I enjoyed the course not only for the content but for the chance of mingling and meeting other E&Y members. Glenn Capelli certainly provided me with an enthusiasm to alter a few ways I interact and best of all I can relate the lessons directly to my career.
---Ernst & Young

The presentations you gave were motivational and inspirational, a vibrant and fantastic start to our conference. We received a great response from delegates about your presentation, many were inspired and came out of the sessions with a new outlook on life.
---Australian Cemeteries and Crematoria Association

--- Department for Community Development, WA

Thank you so much for your inspirational address and workshop at the conference. I wish that I'd had the opportunity years ago to have your message but no point in looking back. At the end of your workshop I couldn't stop clapping - nor will I ever stop. You are magic!
--- New Zealand Accelerated Learning Conference, NZ

I thoroughly enjoyed the recent Super Teacher conference. I am the principal of a small school (200 students) and would love to involve my staff and staff from nearby schools in a similar day.

Your presentation character of Dr Ashley Hartfield, presenting on why laughter is an exceptional healing tool certainly set the delegates into a lively and eager mood for the remainder of the conference. We have received many favorable comments. Sincerest thanks to you for making the evening such a success.

One comment summed it all up beautifully "If we could have Glenn Capelli for breakfast everyday the sky would be the limit and anything would be possible.

Congratulations on your inspirational, enthusiastic and fun presentation on 'How to give and still have life'. Our staff left bubbling with enthusiasm and looking forward to some "Gesaelig" in the future.
--- St Brigid1s College, Lesmurdie, WA

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, in fact, a hundred times Thank you. Working in an unhappy environment can be especially exhausting and can overshadow my personal life. I have always believed life is what you make of it, and after listening to you over the last two days, I now feel a renewed sense of optimism. I will take time to smell the roses, and hopefully my enthusiasm will spread to those around me.
--- WASSRA 1999 Convention, WA

I continue to find your 'sharing' even more meaningful and satisfying every time I'm 'exposed' to it. I suppose it's because the undercurrent, the non-verbals/paralanguage, the mode is just so POSITIVE. You model implicitly and explicitly your message. It's a great gift you have.
--- Chisholm College, WA

The Principal, Staff and Students of Holy Rosary School would like to thank you for a most enjoyable, stimulating and informative presentation.
--- Holy Rosary School, Doubleview, WA

Thank you for sharing with our school community some of the joy and magic in learning. Your presentation enthused staff, encouraged parents and delighted us all. The informative, interactive and inspiring message has established a solid foundation upon which we will endeavor to build.
