Testimonials about Key Skills Customer Service

"Customer Service was always something that we knew we had to master, but our best attempts simply had not hit the mark. Since we invited you to work with our staff there has been a dramatic change in the workplace culture, and what is interesting is that it is so noticeable. Turnover has improved already and there is just such a different atmosphere at work."

The Complete Toolbox: Emotional Intelligence - Be The Best You Can Be - At Work And At Play

"Lynne, your approach to this subject is so effective, and yet so simple – when you know how!  I cannot believe the difference it has made to the attitude of our staff members. Where they used to be resistant to change, were very guarded and did not interact with one another, unless necessary, they have become open and interactive and more importantly, there is an air of cooperation that was absent previously. Productivity has improved as staff members become more aware of one another, form closer bonds and develop a trust of one another.  We will definitely be inviting you back on a bi-annual basis and to address new staff as they join our organisation."

Excellence in Presentation!
Comments from attendees at seminars and workshops conducted by David Gore Graham:

 

Public Speaking:

David I value highly the skills I learned from David Nore. ‘David’s course was very effective and had a wonderful impact upon my ability as a Public Speaker. Many of the techniques David taught me remain with me to this day.  Every one of us from the Dockers (Australian Rules Football Club) who attended David’s course gained great value from his teaching. David’s obvious knowledge and experience helped me to stand confidently in front of board rooms and at times hundreds of people."

Mark Brayshaw - CEO ClubLINKS Pty Ltd/PGA Links Management Pty Ltd
Director North Melbourne and former CEO  Richmond Football Club

"David is one of the most naturally gifted teachers I have ever worked with… to demonstrate the art of public speaking to members of large organisations and to private individuals, assisting those with no previous experience and ‘polishing’ the technique of others. All those wishing to speak comfortably and persuasively in public will be delighted with the skills they learn from David Nore. "

Judy Gluyas - Educational Consultant

 

"Early in my real estate career I enrolled in a Public Speaker Course being conducted by David Nore… Apart from conducting public Auctions I was also required to address company quarterly breakfast meetings and annual award presentations addressing up to 500 people and conduct media interviews."

Keith Howes - Managing Director and Founder of Realty Executives

 

"I can say without any equivocation, David’s course gave me the structure and confidence to speak publicly.’  ”In my position I am constantly organising meetings, conventions, seminars, and communicating with people on a personal basis from around the world.  It is essential my communication techniques are at their sharpest at all times. David Nore has helped considerably in this area. The course is thoroughly enjoyable and highly informative. Thanks David, Your course helped me increase my communication skills – and in my job that’s essential."

David Horowitz - Former General Manager, Parmelia Hilton International, Perth.

 

"Several of my industry colleagues and I were lamenting the fact that our roles require of us that we attend Networking events and other Industry based events where we are required to ‘mingle’, promote our business and use these opportunities to create relationships with a view to developing business opportunities. We spent most of the time talking to each other which didn’t achieve these goals and it was not well received by management that we were not generating the leads and getting results.  We discovered your workshop and now we have all attended one of your workshops – we can’t wait for the next one!  Lynne I said to you on the day but I wanted to make this a bit more formal by writing to you to express my gratitude and that of my colleagues at how you were able to guide us to turn things around!  With a new perspective on the process and a renewed enthusiasm we are better able to approach these events with a positive outlook.  As you said, it will take a little time but with the techniques and new way of thinking that you showed us it is so much easier now, and dare I say it, I actually enjoyed the last two I attended! My colleagues have shared with me their gratitude to you and when I said I was writing, they asked me to convey their thanks and warm wishes and beg of you to never stop sharing your wonderful insights into human behaviour!"

The Complete Toolbox: Emotional Intelligence - Be The Best You Can Be - At Work And At Play

"Lynne, thank you!  You have changed my life.  With my lifestyle as a fly in, fly out Engineer, I thought I could never overcome my resistance to going out socially, meeting people and making connections with people.  As well every time I met someone I would then go away for up to a month and we would lose any continuity!  I cannot believe how much my life has changed since I attended your course – I can never thank you enough!"

Kathy (Mining Engineer)

 

"We are new to Perth and had been here for a year when we came to your workshop.  We were having a lot of trouble meeting people and had seen all the sights – now we were looking for friends but we didn’t know what to do or where to go.
You helped us to realise that it wasn’t just Perth’s fault!  We now have a new lease on life, some nice new friends and a very active social life.  We wanted to write and tell you how much we appreciate what you did for us."

Cathy and Joe

 

" When I came to your course Lynne I was struggling with my personal life and my business.  I was hiring people to be the public face for my business and you convinced me that as my business is so unique, that I should be the front person.  You helped me to realise that dream by showing me what I needed to do, and how to do it. My business is now flourishing as is my personal life and I cannot thank you enough.  The gift you have for the world cannot be over emphasised and everyone, yes everyone, should come and find out what it’s all about.  What a wonderful world this would be if everyone practised your methods for living!"

Sharon

 

Socialising For Singles:

" Since we attended your course, my friend and I have a new social life, but one incident in particular I did want to share with you… The other evening we were at the pub and a girl approached us and asked if she could talk to us because we were the only two guys in the room that were smiling and looked approachable… It just confirmed that it really does work Lynne, Thanks!"

Key skills for Health(Testimonials for) David Gore Graham - Speaker and Presenter

"With nearly 200 people in attendance at the WA Alexander State Library, David spoke with eloquence, enthusiasm and a sense of urgency that his work commands.  His message for the world right now has never been more relevant and the response I received from my audience still stands as arguably the most inspiring talk I have held in the history of my events during the last ten years!"

Darrell Brown, Director.   Awakening Events

 

"I had David Gore Graham make a presentation to my group. The response of the group way exceeded my expectations and David was well incredibly well received. He talked confidently and knowledgably, and defended his case extremely well against the sceptics in the group.

All in all a very interesting thought provoking presentation and I would be happy to recommend David to speak and present his views on wellbeing, productivity and health in general."

Regards,
Iain MacKenzie, BHP Billiton Petroleum - Griffin Field Manager

 

"Fascinating! Your powerful presentation was full of very important information that our membership will take to heart. The message is very important for us all at this time. "

P. G. Emery, Rotary Club of West Perth

 

"The Nedlands Rotary Club was privileged to have David Gore Graham as guest speaker at our club recently where he presented the “Ten Pillars of Radiant Health”. He spoke with precision, passion, compassion, enthusiasm and humour about the health crisis that we are all facing. While both realistic and practical, David detailed the most scientifically up-to-date diet, exercise and lifestyle changes that are appropriate to achieving radiant health.

The membership was most impressed and appreciative of the presentation. They also appreciated David’s gift of his “Ten Pillars of Radiant Health”, which describes practical and realistic steps that one can individually take to achieve radiant health.  
I would highly recommend David as a speaker because his message is important for us all and his ability to convey it to his audience is dynamic and motivational."

Dinah Dudney, Nedlands Rotary Club
