Simple and effective changes you can make to feel great and work at your optimum level. With the effects of unhealthy lifestyles decreasing the productivity of workers, smart employers are looking for ways to encourage their employees to lead healthy lives. Introducing balance into aspects of your work and personal life is a step in the right direction. Little changes in the way you approach healthy activity and eating bring big results to your ability to perform all manner of tasks. Brennon provides the inspiration for delegates to make some changes - and reap the benefits all round.Balanced Perspective

Finding the Competitive Edge
How 15 minutes a day can change your life. Throughout his sporting career Brennon devoted an extra 15 minutes a day to a task that would help him achieve particular goals. Often this task was in an area he was having difficulty in, or it was during a period of time when he would review his goals to make sure he was working in the right direction. Incredibly this extra 15 minutes focus a day added up to an extra 70 hours per year. This additional focus can give you a powerful edge over your competition both mentally and in terms of goals achieved.Finding the Competitive Edge

Teamwork for the Individual
Why teamwork is so important to individual and company success. Everyone has their own workloads, challenges and stresses. Teamwork is a term that is often mentioned within companies; however, it is rarely sold as an attractive option for the individual worker. What most people don't realise is that working with and learning from your colleagues will not only help reach your team's goals but will increase your individual success as well.Teamwork for the Individual

Brennon's presentation on motivation to strive for success; touching on the comical, as well as serious side, combined with the integration of his pommel horse demonstration gave him a powerful edge on the attention of the audience and I would have to say that favourable feedback has by far exceeded any other guest speaker we have had.

In the fifteen years I have been involved in coordinating our conference I have never received such positive feedback from my Suppliers to as presentation as delivered by Brennon Dowrick. Brennon delivered a personable and dynamic presentation, which was nothing short of awe inspiring. He left our delegates with a true belief in themselves and what hard work and determination can deliver. If your conference requires a unique performance that inspires teamwork & passion for excellence the Brennon will exceed your expectations.
It takes a lot for a presenter to get up on stage, tell a story, and still be able to deliver something fresh and unique. I thought the presentation was equal to the best I have seen. Where it was strongest was the reference to discipline and foundation required before you can truly taste success - and the importance of continuing to build and develop once you are there.
The feedback from the attendees at all sessions on your presentation, participation, professionalism and of course humor was truly fantastic. They loved it!
Our Gen Y delegates described Brennon as one of the most inspirational people they have met and rated his presentation as enjoyable, motivating and a highlight of their week long leadership program. Brennon kept their full attention throughout and they all felt they took something practical away. High praise from these apprentices who regularly tune out on speakers. From an organisers point of view Brennon's professional approach to understanding the brief and tailoring to meet the audience need was perfect. Brennon is now a 'must have' for next year's program.
Just wanted to say what a huge honour and privilege it was to work with you today. The presentation was simply fantastic and the best I have ever seen. To be able to capture the attention of a range of ages and people is a wonderful skill. I have heard nothing but amazing comments from plenty of students, parents and staff all day and they were thrilled to have you at the College. Thank you so much for the wonderful messages you provided to the students.
Just a quick thank you for making our NSW conference extra special. The feedback from our members was outstanding. The common theme in our survey response was 'Brennon was the highlight of a great conference'.
With all the challenges that the global financial crisis has created in our business. It was important for our franchisees to work 'on the basics' in their business. Brennon was outstanding and really aligned the message for the day. Brennon talked about building a strong foundation in sport, which was bought back to business. Our franchisees left the session both cheering and standing with applause to Brennon's performance, the message really resonated with the franchise network. Well Done Brennon!
In planning for our national financial planning conference we were looking for a speaker who could demonstrate the principle of 'practice makes perfect'. When we met Brennon there was no doubt that he was the ideal fit. In telling his story Brennon demonstrates that having the right attitude and a persistent focus can result in achieving the goals you set for yourself. Brennon engaged the audience on his journey to success, allowing them to draw their own comparisons between his experiences and their careers. Our conference ran in four locations around Australia and Brennon ensured that his level of energy was consistent and he always made the time to speak to the delegates after his presentations. Brennon was a pleasure to work with and was the most popular speaker at our conference.
Brennon was without doubt the hero of our Roadshow - his professionalism, his story and his energy was extremely welcomed and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. A week on the road was extremely demanding and he kept us all in great sprits and his story continued to inspire us.
Brennon's presentation was exceptional! A true professional who captured the imagination of our clients and left them wanting more. Brennon successfully conveys a valuable message about team work and commitment to outcomes by showing how that little extra effort can help you achieve your goals. His unique approach culminating in his phenomenal pommel horse routine exemplifies his messages. I would highly recommend Brennon to anyone who wants to 'wow' their audience. To top it off he is an absolute pleasure to work with.
The feedback from the attendees at all sessions on your presentation, participation, professionalism and of course humor was truly fantastic. They loved it!
What can I say, having organised many conferences over the last ten years I have come across hundreds of different speakers. There are less than a handful that I would highly recommend for their amazing presentation skills, their motivational effect on the audience, their message and their complete professionalism and 'willing to help' attitude when organising their attendance. Brennon Dowrick is one and to take it even further, someone who will blow your audience away. One year later they still talk about him and he is the one person we have asked to present again.

A unique and exhilarating speaker - not only does Brennon convey important messages dealing with team work and putting in the extra effort to ensure results... he demonstrates the principles physically! Amazing and inspiring to all our staff that attended - 100% positive feedback. Brennon walks the talk! I would have no hesitation in recommending Brennon to any organisation that wants to motivate their people - the finale to the presentation was literally a gold medal performance.
