Xavier’s presentation was fantastic. He came with a slideshow and showed a video to the residents. He engaged well and brought out a number of questions. Xaver was very friendly and approachable spending some time speaking with the residents after his presentation.

What can I say, except that Xavier was FANTASTIC!!!! The best turnout we have had for a really long time and Xavier was so engaging. He spoke well, the information he presented was on point and he managed to relate to a lot of people in the room and online. I would highly recommend him for future talks.
Sky Xavier, Group Manager of People and Performance @ Recoveriescorp
We booked Xavier Clarke to speak to our business regarding the meaning of NAIDOC Week culturally and personally, and to structure it in such a way that it was almost an educational piece. The feedback I received from the business was amazing, notably that there was information provided about the Indigenous culture that few had been aware of and that he provided small actions that individuals can take to educate themselves beyond the keynote speech. He was very comfortable onstage, and introduced humour fitting to our culture - clearly adaptable to his crowd. Couldn't recommend him more. In addition, his discussion pieces has motivated us to brainstorm ideas around how we can make an impactful change within the business to be more active in the Indigenous community.
