I have no hesitation in recommending Tara.

Excellent presentation - your expertise is evident and you had a nice balance between formality and informality. One improvement would be for the conference organisers to put you down for two consecutive sessions.
- Irene Burow, Burow & Associates, Road to Success Conference
Tara's presentation on recession proofing your HR strategies - rewarding and recruiting staff - gave us all food for thought at the DAA NSW Branch Sydney Conference. Her session was well received with over 90% rating the presentation and content of her presentation as very good or excellent.
- Lisa Yates, DAA NSW Branch CE Subcommittee.
Tara's topic "If only fish had knees - nutrition and inflammation' was very informative, concise and kept everyone's attention. The medical delegates certainly managed to generate plenty of discussion in question time and you successfully managed these questions and answered them all. All feedback regarding your session that the association has received has been very positive and we look forward to further talks by you in the future.
- Dr Jan Kencian, Far North Queensland Lady Doctors Association.
