Accolades from previous speaking engagements

  • “The contribution made by Verity as MC/facilitator of Visitor Servicing Association Conference was absolutely superb. She was professional, open, relaxed, entertaining, related well to the audience, and was described by some delegates as the ‘highlight of
    the conference’. We will utilise her services again.”

    Ray Bird, Director, Meeting Masters Pty.Ltd

  • “Verity did a great job as MC for the official opening of Forrestfield Expansion Project, and was the perfect choice to welcome government ministers and VIP guests. We had excellent feedback from attendees regarding her role.”

    Andrew Bird. Meeting Masters Pty.Ltd

  • “From the comments we received, everyone thoroughly enjoyed Verity’s contribution as MC, especially the humour she brought to the occasion. It is always pleasing to have laughter at what can sometimes be a very serious AGM. Great MC.”

    Steve Joske, Executive Director, Australian Red Cross

  • “Better than excellent, because just ‘excellent’ doesn’t do Verity justice. She was the consummate professional and helped make the event a great success. She was a delight to work with and added tremendous value to the occasion through her professional, yet relaxed and friendly manner with the audience.”

    Ian Johnson, Executive Services Manager, Tourism W.A.

  • “As always Verity was fantastic as MC for Engineering Leadership Conference – the audience raved about her.”
