Client Ovations: Max was very easy going and terrific to deal with. His talk was just right for the occasion.

ANZ-International Network

Able to convey appropriate message across nationality barriers - not all our audience was Australian and therefore wasn't necessarily familiar with Max's history. A great bloke!

Nokia Telecommunications

His professionalism showed through with a calm acceptance of any changes to the running sheet or non appearance of finalists. As M.C. he was able to keep the program progressing smoothly with his humorous 'add libs' and strong direction on stage.

Telstra Corporation Small Business Awards

Did an excellent job under very trying circumstances. I would recommend Max Walker strongly for any such activities. Will strongly consider for future functions.

Master Builders Association (NSW)

Max would come close to being the best suited mediator we have ever had for the National Insurance Brokers Association's convention. The right combination of wit, intelligence and cooperation. Perfect!!!!

Waldron Smith Convention Network

Max is the perfect talent. Intelligent, organised, interested and compelling in performance. He never loses enthusiasm for the task at hand and is extremely responsive to new material, changes or advice. He actively contributes rather than taking a passive role as the talent.,,Max's great experience as a presenter and commentator is invaluable and his ability to constantly assess the big picture during performance means that he is always in control of pace, content and delivery. I look forward to the next occasion when I can work with Max again.

You were an absolute success. The team raved about how well you hit the mark and are all drawing many ideas from your speech. They thought we had briefed you for hours ..which is a testimony to how well you did on the night,considering we only talked for 10 minutes.

Hoo Marketing Pty Ltd

Max entertained and he made us laugh as well as providing some very interesting insights into one of this countries most popular guest speakers and media personalities. We were overwhelmed by Max's willingness to pose for photos, sign autographs and the way in which he mingled with as many people as he could on the night and appeared to really enjoy himself right up until "stumps". I have no hesitation in recommending Max Walker for your next function.

Fantastic!! What more can I say? Max engaged our entire audience: Young, old, male & female... His engaging, warm and entertaining attitude - both on and off the stage was inspirational. A wonderful entertainer, complimented by his "down to earth" personality made for an unforgettable evening for everyone.
