Testimonials
What most impresses me about Kieren and his approach to delivering a presentation to a group, is, that despite his successes in the pool and more broadly in business, Kieren does not revel in these triumphs, but instead, immerses himself in the desire to pass on what he knows. He knows how to be an elite performer.

On the night and on so many occasions since, in conversation with those who had attended, the stand-out feature of the conference that they recalled was Kieren's speech. Kieren moved and inspired the audience with his story, delivered in an absorbing frank and humble manner - of a child with a dream and a goal seat and sealed early on, who went on to reach the pinnacle of sport achievement in his chosen field.
