Testimonials for Kaley Chu
“Thanks again for your time yesterday Kaley. It was great to meet you and your words had a profound impact on both the group and myself. You have a very inspiring vision and story. I look forward to staying connected.”
Graham Beal Executive General Manager - Human Resources and Safety at Coates Hire
Thanks Kaley for delivering such an incredible keynote presentation at our Conference. Not surprisingly it scored the highest rating from our members. Your story is testament that we really can change our destiny. Yes, you need to be incredibly courageous and yes you also need to be very committed to sticking to a plan, but you have shown that we can all do it! Your keynote and book should be mandatory reading for all school-leavers to better prepare them for all that life can offer PLUS anyone employed in a job that has a sales component. There has never been a more unique prospecting initiative and how when it’s done right, it can transform you and the potential of your business.”
Michael Russell Managing Director at Money Quest
“National Mortgage Brokers recently invited Kaley to present at our national professional developments days. Whilst largely unknown beforehand, Kaley’s story about how she conquered her inexperience and inner fears to go out and network to the world resonated with all in attendance. Kaley’s natural presentation style and ability to connect with her audience was outstanding. I highly recommend Kaley for any business looking to motivate their teams to go out and build new networks.”
Gerald Foley Managing Director at National Mortgage Brokers
From silent awe to outbursts of laughter Kaley Chu captured the attention of every participant as she shared her 100 Lunches with Strangers story, at the HRIA Women in Hire Program (WIH). Kaley’s natural warmth, sense of humour, authentic style and unique story was compelling. Thank you, Kaley, for inspiring each of us to step outside our comfort zone. We look forward to warmly welcoming you again at future events.”
