Testimonials

Brian Goorjian is one of the most underrated and underutilised speakers in Australia. In the world of basketball his record speaks for itself, the best coaching record in the NBL, extraordinary long-term success and consistent excellence. These traits certainly carry over into his presentations. As a speaker his passion and enthusiasm are infectious as he translates his global experience in basketball into clear lessons about leadership and team behaviours. His passion for basketball is only surpassed by his passion to coach and share his wealth of knowledge. Brian remains my first choice to deliver at any level in the organisation.
