Praise for Patrick
"The overwhelming feedback I received was that it was an outstanding presentation and a highlight for many. You delivered some wonderful messages about the ANZAC spirit as embodied by those young kids who sacrificed their lives for their country.
I don't think there was a dry eye in the house when you finished and I felt privileged to hear from you and learn more about this pivotal moment in Australia's history."
Alan Logan, General Manager, Apogee Financial Planning
"Wow! What can I say!? Your presentation in Darwin was fantastic, it made everyone in the room so proud to be an Aussie. And as one that has lived overseas for nearly 20 years I must say that it was as moving a presentation as I have ever heard anywhere in the world."
