Charles, thanks once again, I know everyone was stimulated by your talk as was reflected both in the feedback sheets and in the discussion both during and after the presentation”
Derek Hodge, Chairman, Group 3, The Executive Connection.

“Thank you again for a fantastic presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it and could very easily have listened for a couple of more days. Your approach puts a different slant on the usual motivational material and was very refreshing and practical.”
Rob St Clair, Partner, Pitcher Partners Chartered Accountants

“I am pleased to acknowledge your large contribution which you have made to the BMW Group Financial Services. We engaged you after I experienced your first-class speaking skills at a CEO Institute event, and we have now used your services with various teams and with various leaders over the past three years. The investment in your services has been of excellent value to our Group.”
Alan Crookes, President Asia, Pacific, Africa.

“The best thing about what I learnt from you is that I now know that I can achieve anything I truly set my mind to and “I am the creator of my own reality”.  Hardly a day goes by when I don’t tell someone my story and how important you were in making me see how easy it was to make excuses when really there was no excuse for balance.
THANK YOU
With fond regards, always.”
Vicki B, AMA Victoria

Hi Charles
great to hear from you in person!  You are a great mentor!

Pauline Grogan, Professional Speaker, NZ

Thanks for the copy of Passionate People Produce: it was very good, and highly recommended for all to read.

Many words and statements within this book have helped me to recollect all the course stuff that I have learnt. We constantly do things that give value in our lives, and to be able to make the choice to be passionate without giving into patterns of habit can be exhilarating.

Thanks again, and good luck in all your endeavors, whatever they may be.
Steven Kolakowski, Australia Post

Dear Charles, thank you for taking the time last week to chat with me.  After leaving you, I began to ponder over some of your suggestions.  Your specific comment about my network struck an accord with me. Many thanks again for your valuable in-sight. Much appreciated! I’ll keep in touch!
Csilla Csorba, Senior HR Manager

Dear Charles
The stories keep coming about the motivation you provided both here at Australia Post. One of the HR managers just told me that she has been skipping ever since. Isn’t it lovely?Another guy today a smoker of 30 years is contemplating giving up smoking and going part time next year.

Dear Charles, Just a quick note to say thank you for helping me to inspire so many people here at POST today and on the two previous occasions. When you are on a mission and driven by passion to inspire others to make a difference in this world and you find other kindred spirits along the way the joy is multiplied. The Greeks say “shared joy double joy, shared pain, half pain” and you Charles have brought a lot of joy in my life at many levels.

It was fantastic to sit at the back and watch the faces of some of these people, the majority of whom are migrants who have a lot to offer but can only give so much as their sphere of influence is limited… The majority of people in that room today were what we call Process Leaders, some were the next step up, and a couple of the higher-level bosses.

They could not thank me enough as I mingled with them .. Isn’t this fantastic???

Varvara Ioannou, Human Resources, Australia Post

Hi Charles,

I really enjoyed meeting you and listening to you speak. It was very inspirational and helped me to understand more clearly why I do what I do! It’s funny to say that but before I started speaking, I never really did understand what drove me, how I stayed motivated and set goals etc. It really was just something that I did without thinking about it.

I am really looking forward to reading your book and receiving your regular “Passion Points to Ponder” – after all we all can do with some extra motivation
Tammy Van Wisse, World Class Open Water swimmer

Dear Charles,

I am writing to thank you very much for doing the interview with my Phd student Alice Hsu for her topic “Spirituality and Management”. It meant a great deal to her to have such a helpful interview in the early stages of her research.

You are being such a great moral support to us here at Monash University and I really hope we can return the help in some way. The PhD outcomes and publications are a bit slow, but we will send you the published copies of the results when they come to hand .. Similarly for David Chin’s

project on servant leadership. He did parallel interviews in Malaysia to complement the introductions you gave us. He has very good data now and we are hoping that the analysis will be a big contribution to this important topic.

Please keep up the good work. It is very cheering just to receive your email in the inbox.
Dr Wendy Smith, Monash University

Good morning Charles,

A quick note to say thank you for your inspirational address yesterday at Australia Post.

I have been treated for depression for quite some time now and after listening to you I have realised that I have let my mind rule my soul for far too long.

I have started reading the book you presented to me already.

Thanks again for a fantastic and inspirational talk.
