Warwick has presented in front of groups of five to over 1,000. He has facilitated workshops, performed Master of Ceremonies duties, Coached individuals one on one and even sung on stage with a backing choir. His sessions have lasted from 20 minutes to three days. That is a wide variety of styles and sessions!

Below is a sample of some of the feedback he has received:

 

I wanted to write and thank you for the assistance you gave me through your Get More Mentor program.  

As you know I was confronted with a challenging set of circumstances which were quite overwhelming.  With your practical, non-judgemental support, I was able to put one foot in front of the other on the new path which you helped me discover and define.

I found the process of speaking out loud about the things that needed to be done an important part of getting a lot of stuff done.  Also, being accountable to you, as my coach, helped me develop the habit of being accountable to myself.

You have tremendous energy and a positive outlook which is incredibly inspiring and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you as a coach.

I will admit to being a little sceptical about the idea of even having a coach...I mean, what on earth do I need one for?  I'm capable and motivated and don't need anyone else!  Through working with you Warwick, I have change my view about coaching.  Having a coach didn't change who I am as a person - it helped me be accountable and gain different perspectives on my life and career planning.

Thank you. 

 

I attended a Get More seminar run Warwick Merry and saw a dramatic increase in my business profits, which I directly attribute to my change in attitude and approach achieved at the seminar. In just one hour Warwick taught a completely new way to think about my business. 

I now value the service I provide more realistically and charge clients what I know I am worth. Also it enabled me to refocus on the kind of events that I wanted to service, I now do much bigger events and don't bother with the small work-intensive gigs that I used to do.

I can recommend Warwick as a motivator and also a genuinely nice guy.

 

I recently embarked on the three month “Get More Mentor Program” and wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the results. I wasn’t sure at first if I either had the time to complete the course or if I could be helped by it but I was more than pleased and can seriously recommend it to anyone. Warwick is a genuine, caring, intelligent and sincere person who ingeniously found ways to help me discover what my life direction was and how to hone in on a productive path for the future of my businesses.

He was always willing to go over and beyond his duty and made me feel comfortable with the information I gave him - I trusted he was providing the utmost client confidentiality. He supplied tools, resources, support and professional advice which I could use to enhance and increase my business productivity and he helped me to identify and avoid the dangerous pitfalls I was heading for - which I’m so grateful to have saved time and money by avoiding them. 

As a result I now have more self confidence and have been able to create personal and professional limitations which has freed up my time so I could develop a more relaxed work attitude. He has helped me to address these limitations to my clients in a professional way so that I can maintain their loyalty - a skill I had struggled with for quite some time. 

What I have been able to take away from this course I will be benefiting from for the rest of my life so I truly believe that it is worth every cent and more.

Thank you Get More Guy!!  

 

"Close your eyes and imagine your event is being hosted by a clever, witty, warm, generous and professional MC. The audience is energised, happy and engaged. The speakers are grateful. The event is running to time and the MC is tying everything together perfectly. Open your eyes and you see before you: Warwick Merry.

At the National Speakers Association Vic monthly meetings, we used to use a different MC every month but Warwick received such rave reviews that we've asked him to MC every event. That's how good he is.

If you're considering using him for your event - your search is over. If you haven't considered him yet, you won't even need to start searching. Warwick is a gem." 

 

“I just wanted to say that I believe you made the conference.  You are very good at what you do and I will definately be recommending you at every opportunity I get.” 

 

“Warwick gave a humorous and engaging presentation at the National Public Sector Executive Assistant Summit 2010. His energy lifted the room and he provided helpful tips to get more out of your day.”

 

"It was a pleasure to again work with Warwick Merry at the recent TEDxMelbourne #3. Warwick was the MC for the day. Warwick's professionalism and ability to think on his feet to handle the typical seminar mishaps definitely helped TEDxMelbourne be an outstanding success. 

Warwick was calm and centred giving me an anchor in the storm of running the event. He has a can do attitude and I always appreciated his reassuring question of "What do you need?" to know he was there to serve.

I'm very happy to recommend Warwick as your MC or speaker. He brings a warmth, humour, and wisdom to his role that will ensure your event's success."

 

"Warwick was engaged at short notice to be MC for our conference when the other MC had a clash of dates. 

Turned out Warwick was exactly what we needed to kick off the event and keep it going at a great pace throughout the day. The delegates loved him, he kept us all entertained and when one of our presenters didn't turn up, he filled the gap without blinking an eye.

Truly a professional I will be hiring Warwick again and encourage you to consider him for your events too. Truly worthwhile!" 

 

"I recently attended the Australian VA Convention in Melbourne (March 12-13, 2010) at which Warwick was MC for day 1. If you are looking for an MC for your next event you can't go past Warwick. He kept the delegates entertained, on-task and motivated. He performed his MC duties with humour and was a big favourite!

In addition, when a presenter didn't turn up due to a timing misunderstanding, Warwick stepped up and gave a one hour presentation completely off the cuff! It was quite amazing.

He is a very warm, funny, intelligent and quick-witted speaker who can tune in to his audience and keep things ticking over and on track.

A must-have presenter or MC for your next event!" 

 

The content of your presentation was perfectly aligned with what we wanted to achieve with the conference.  The fact that the content was so rich and gave all the attendees definite actions and outcomes was fabulous.  Your style of presenting was also remarkable.  It was so engaging, I am certain many of the attendees wanted to kidnap you and take you home!!  I don’t think I have seen such a passionate and energetic presenter before.  Our delegates could not help but enjoy themselves.

 

Your down to earth nature meant that not only was your presentation fabulous, but it was also effortless to deal with you.  Your flexibility meant that it was far easier to us to plan the structure of the conference and deal with you on the day.  I would strongly recommend you to anyone looking for a high content, high energy speaker and I hope to use you again in the not too distant future.

[Your] presentation was down to earth. It was something the students could relate to providing them with tools and techniques that they could use in their life.  You spoke at their level. Not as someone "telling" them what to do but sharing ideas and experience that they could choose to learn from. As well as the stories and lessons you shared, the handouts you created gave them some excellent discussion points. Your energy and genuine concern for the students and their future was fabulous.  As I mentioned on the day, we will definitely be using you again in some capacity. 

Mr Merry has been extremely professional in his preparation and delivery. He engaged with the students, asking for their responses and proceeded material as a stimulus for discussion. Humor was often used as a tool to engage attention to the material delivered. The students’ responses were overwhelmingly positive. I highly recommend Mr Merry as a motivational speaker. He is thoroughly prepared, connects with his audience, and provides positive and informative material that leaves an impact. His genuine enthusiasm for life is evident.

  

As a motivational speaker Warwick has a great personality for drawing the crowd and keeping them interested. We’d recommend him to anyone looking for an entertaining speaker providing interesting topics beyond dull technical or business orientated presentations.

 

 

Warwick, my many thanks to you for your short window of respite from a time of chaos!  Your warm and energetic passion for being a cause of unimaginable positive change in others has re-woken that which has laid ormant within me for a couple of years now.  Thank you.  

Thank you for your valuable input to our Annual Gala Dinner which was held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. The evening was a splendid success and feedback has been extremely positive. This function would not have been quite so successful without your effort, input and support. It is much appreciated.

 

Warwick I just had to write to say thank you for the fantastic job you did last night as the MC for the AIOP Office Professional Of The Year dinner.  I had heard that you were a great MC following on from some work you did for colleagues but I was blown away by the job you carried out.

As I mentioned to you I was expecting things to run a little over their allocated time but you kept everything on track, including me!  I am not used to having someone keep the show on track and follow up with all aspects of what is happening in the room as you did last night.  It made the night so easy for me and I could relax and be one of the attendees and not the organiser.

I need to thank you on behalf of the sponsors also.  As you know it is difficult to get people on board to sponsor us as an organisation and an event like that one.  Your continual mentioning of the sponsors in a manner that did not detract from the evening brought the attendees awareness to their services as well as complimenting the sponsors in the process.  Several of them came up to me afterwards and expressed their gratitude for your work.

Most importantly was the vibe you created in the room last night.  We were there to have some fun and celebrate the achievements of the Office Professional Of The Year and you made sure that the event not only ran smoothly, but also helped create a relaxed and fun atmosphere for everyone.  I could not recommend your services highly enough.

Warwick presented to 70 guests of the Gordon Institute of TAFE. This was the inaugural event of our Alumni and we required an outstanding speaker to ensure the success of the evening. Warwick’s presentation was energetic, entertaining, funny and inspiring and ensured the success of our first Alumni event. Warwick was a pleasure to deal with in preparing for the event and was very cooperative on the night. I have no hesitation in recommending Warwick as a professional speaker of the highest quality.

Thank you for your very entertaining presentation at our Maroondah In Step celebration. I have had many comments on what an excellent session it was, and how much staff enjoyed your talk. You managed to pitch the presentation perfectly, to be light hearted and yet to deliver the right message that we were looking for. Once again, thank you for your excellent attention to our requests and your entertaining presentation.

 

The team at Fitzpatricks wanted to send you a quick thank you for your “Goal Setting, Goal Getting” presentation at our Loot and Laughter evening. You certainly provided the laughs but you were also really informative and inspiring, which is a great combination. You have such a wonderful personality and attitude towards life and as a result I believe all those in attendance truly benefited. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

 

I am writing to warmly thank you for your tremendous presentation on Effective Time Management in the Arts. Your session has made a great impact on the members of the Geelong Dance Network. Not only did you meet our stated objectives for the day, you actually surpassed them, providing the group with practical and lasting take-home solutions to common, everyday problems. I would also like to commend you on your exceptional presentation style – your energy, enthusiasm, confidence and humor made for a really entertaining time.

 

Thank you so much for your facilitation of our Leadership and Coaching Workshop for the senior management team. After your previous work for us, I had high expectations. You not only met those expectations, but exceeded them significantly. The way you were able to take what seemed like a 1- minute casual chat with myself about some of our key issues the company is facing and then thread those issues throughout the day in a way that had everyone nodding in agreement was fantastic. The day gave us some significant action items to improve the way we manage and coach our teams. The opportunity for discussions within the team on certain leadership styles, problems we were having and creating the environment to learn from others experience was a benefit I had not expected. Thanks again for an incredibly valuable day.

 

After last weeks program I felt I had to write and say thank you. It is not every day that you get to meet an individual who has that balance of intellect, passion, energy, empathy and understanding. It was an amazing two days for me. After doing the course with you, I have had the chance to look at myself from a different perspective. I have taken this opportunity to really look at what I want out of life. This is a scary, but very exciting thing for me to do. I really value this opportunity that you have given me. Thank you for a great two days. It has been a turning point for me. I would highly recommend this experience and your skills to others.

I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for facilitating our one day DSC Support Managers Workshop. The fact that you could do it with two days notice was sensational for us. With the target audience being IT professionals, it can be challenging to keep the energy and communication up for the entire day. You were able to keep everyone involved and draw information out of all of the participants. The energy remained high for the day and we were able to achieve some excellent results. With your help, we have now enabled our Support Managers and Competency Managers to take more ownership in where our Support Centre is going and how they are to get it there. Since this workshop I have seen a significant improvement in this regard. It was a great day and we would not have had the success we did without you. I would gladly recommend you to others.

 

Thank you for your complaints workshop. I have been in touch with many of the participants who gave great feedback on the course and on you as a presenter. As a result of your course Crown has learned to maximize our complaints and use this market research to improve our products and services. In the short term, it has also helped our Customer Response Group and gaming floor staff deal with difficult customers consistently. The people that I spoke with where were on your course had many positive things to say about you and your skills as a presenter and your level of professionalism. We look forward to the next session your run for us.

 

After seeing you in action and hearing all of the positive reports from others who went, I am astounded at your continued high level of energy and enthusiasm for what Esanda is working towards achieving. You continued to be very dynamic and enabled all members of the audience to understand the concepts you were communicating and know how to apply them in their lives – both professionally and personally. I am certain that following the work you have done, many of the staff will be far happier and more productive as they perform their job roles. Again, I want to thank you for the invaluable work you have done. Your efforts and style has ensured that Esanda has received significant value out of this process.
