The opportunity to hear Chris’ stories first-hand and engage with his life lessons sparked inspiration around the room. Chris talked about topics like how to handle difficult circumstances and find a way to battle through to achieve success. Well recounted stories with a great sense of humour!

That was AMAZING, Chris! Your insight is so valuable and your links to the skills we aim to develop at SEDA were so well woven into each response. Thank you so much!

Chris spoke at our Operations Launch - a room with 200 people with varying roles and backgrounds. He had the room fully engaged from the moment he started with meaningful stories and great takeaways. He was also able to link a number of our organisational values into his message which made his message even more impactful. We would definitely engage Chris again.

Chris is authentic, warm and funny, and his life lessons are real and long-lasting, with participants (and leaders) at our program using his session as the catalyst for change and growth in their lives.

Chris Anstey was the best guest speaker in the 17-year history of Burnie international...Full stop! We have had some beauties but nothing to match Chris, and that was the feedback/view from everybody in the room, not the usual “good” or “okay” – this was a new level! Not only the best speaker but so approachable, so easy to speak to, at the function after the luncheon everyone was still raving about Chris. It’s hard to explain how someone can slide into a room of unknowns, give everything of himself and win everyone over in such a short period. Chris had some amazing stories to tell – and he is a real storyteller. He had the audience laughing and gasping throughout, he held them captured and you had the feeling he could have talked forever – and we all would have listened forever! Talk about a 'WOW' factor, for the entire international event, Chris was it. There were some pretty hardened punters in that audience and they were the ones we sounded out for feedback, and they were praiseworthy beyond belief! Burnie gives Chris a 15 out of 10, he was that good!
