Feedback
Your observant comments on each of the speakers helped to frame the sessions and kept the morning moving at a snappy pace-a result that was appreciated by both the audience and the organisers. Your comments were particularly relevant, showing a good grasp of many areas in education.
All I can say is thank god we had Richard Stubbs at the Occupational Health and Safety Awards, because he saved the night. In between a power failure that stopped the audio visual presentation for about five minutes and a drunk attendee who decided she didn't like the awards Richard's sense of humour and quick wit helped turn a potential disaster into what ended up being the highlight of the night!
It was a difficult evening to present, with guests ranging from family and close friends to the Just Jeans staff, VIP's and Board Members….Richard wrote the script and worked with us on the format of the evening. Not only is Richard clever and witty but, importantly, as a comedian he understands that fine line of how far to take things with his audience.
As MC for our recent launch of Telstra's Wireplay Computer Games Network Richard, in a nutshell, was fantastic and pivotal in making the launch a huge success. Apart from being a seasoned professional and a pleasure to work with, his humour, attitude and performance on the day really made the launch come to life!
On behalf of tennis australia I would like to thank you for being part of the US Open Grand Slam Lunch. The lunch was a huge success from which we received a great amount of positive feedback. Your humour certainly struck a cord with a diverse and sometimes difficult audience and you are to be congradulated on your pprofessionalism. I have been inundated with positive feedback on your performance, and you can assured that Tennis Australia will be seeking your services again in the future.
