Australian Medical Association (NSW) Limited
You spoke extremely clearly, logically and helpfully. It was very well received and we had some great positive feedback. I suspect we should have scheduled two hours rather than one!
Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children
Sophie Scott was absolutely brilliant. She obviously put in a lot of time and effort in her research and engaging with us and her professionalism, winning personality and knowledge made our World Mental Health Day the most successful to date. We received terrific feedback about her facilitation and our event would not have been nearly as good without her commitment to mental health and her media skills.
Mental Health Council of Australia
Sophie was a fabulous MC at the Health & Fitness Industry Gala Dinner. Her role was performed seamlessly.
