Your ability to read this diverse group of people and maintain their interest and contributions is a credit to your facilitation style and professionalism. We look forward to the Small Business Centre Network working with you in the future.” Stephen Moir – Managing Director – Small Business Development Corporation WA

Jeff Austin's Biography
Jeff Austin is not the guest speaker you are looking for if you want someone to remain poised behind a lectern and deliver a formal lecture to a quiet and reserved audience. However – if you and your guests are up for a message delivered with Passion – Energy – Honesty – Humour and perhaps the active involvement of those sitting in, then Jeff Austin will not disappoint.
Jeff’s ‘from the hip and the heart’ approach will as much entertain and engage as it will educate and enlighten.
Helped by the sobering realisation that the world was not to blame for his past failures (better late than never!) Jeff moved from running outback roadhouses and pubs, to presenting to packed rooms at capital city conferences across Australia.
Jeff is a director of Actual to Ideal™ a business development company that he started in 2002. He can design a keynote address to suit your audience and your budget.
