Testimonials for Briony Benjamin
Briony’s presentation was incredibly honest and powerful. She made us both laugh and cry with her real, heartfelt story. And she inspired us all to think differently about how to navigate challenging times.
CEO Amber Electric
Briony shared her incredible and inspiring story with our team - words that they will never forget, and which no doubt resonate during the tough times that they will inevitably go through at some point in their lives.
CEO Accounting for Nature
We loved have Briony speak to us today. Such a refreshing interlude into the daily grind of online meetings we’ve had for more than 18 months. Briony tells her story with passion and love and kindness and acceptance and gratitude – and she makes it fun and cheery, despite the tough stuff she’s been through. She reminded us of what’s important in our lives. To have fun when we can. To take care of ourselves. That we’ve only got one life and one body and this is it. And that it’s totally OK to just take one step at a time. As Victorians emerging from lockdown, we all so needed this today.
State Government of Victoria
Briony brought an incredible amount of much needed energy to our team at KPMG when many were in the throws of our worst national lockdowns. Her practical advice and real-life strategies resonated with the group which you could really tell through the level of engagement and also the many positive comments I received after the session. If you’ve been struggling for some inspiration on how to keep your team engaged in these challenging times, I’d highly recommend a keynote from Briony.
Partner KPMG
As a speaker, Briony is not just engaging and heartfelt, she is organised and 100% professional, which is so important for anybody who is trying to pull an event together.
