Without knowing what to expect Brad Taylor came to our Regional Staff Awards and gave us a thoroughly inspirational and entertaining recount into the struggles, and hardships he has suffered throughout his life.

Everyone was impressed with Brad’s determination and “Never give up” attitude that he used when facing each new footstep within his life, he certainly convinced us that laughter and a positive attitude is definitely the best medicine. Everyone was amazed to hear how Brad defied the Doctors and Medical Staff alike, to overcome all the obstacles that his condition, Cystic Fibrosis, has thrown at him. It was a very rewarding experience to have Brad talk at our Awards Night, with all those attending giving positive feedback, and responses.

Without a doubt, we would certainly recommend Brad, to anyone wanting a real life story to motivate and inspire their staff, students etc.

Brad's story was an inspirational to us all. His conquest of life’s hurdles gives meaning to hope and truly tells a tale of mental strength. His delivery was entertaining and enthusiastic with great wit as an added extra. Not only do you walk away feeling lucky, you walk away feeling as if you can do anything you put your mind to. I could have listened to Brad for hours.

I have received proactive feedback from many of the attendees (including our other two guest speakers, who are CEO's of Adelaide-based organisations), unanimously praising your efforts and telling me how delighted they were that you performed as keynote speaker.

As I briefed you before the event, times are very tough in the Information Technology industry at present, largely due to the impacts of a soft economy in the United States. My local team has been performing admirably, but under unusually difficult and challenging circumstances. I was hoping that you would help people to look within and realise that it is there that all answers will be found - we are not controlled by external factors - and, let's face it, a difficult business environment is nothing compared to life-threatening events.

The bottom line is that I could not have been more pleased with your efforts. You made a great difference and delivered more than what I asked.

Brad Taylor – A Big Man
Every once in a while you meet someone in life with those very special qualities, qualities that are born from a lifetime of pain, suffering and a fierce determination to survive the odds.

I met that someone recently in Brad Taylor, when he spoke at our Lions club dinner.

He related his life’s story entitled “The Seventh Wish” a truly poignant portrayal of his battle to survive the ravages of Cystic Fibrosis.  We laughed, we cried, we clapped and cheered, we were captivated, he was truly an inspirational speaker.  He took us on a journey through his boyhood years, his pain and sorrow, his dreams and the ultimate conquest of his mortal enemy.

It was a powerful story told by an inspirational man.
As a club, we were entertained
As human beings, we were moved
As a man, I am better for having met him.
Lou Sedivy, Vice President
Aberfoyle Park & Districts Lions Club

"I would recommend you as a motivational and inspirational speaker to anyone who is looking for a real life success story which will inspire many people to achieve more than they thought possible. Your talk was both inspirational and soul searching and numerous people commented to me that it made them count their blessings and reassess the personal problems they thought they had".
Bruce Oldman, General Manager

"Thanks for sending Brad Taylor our way! As you know, real estate people tend to be pretty case-hardened, and tough to impress...but Brad's tale of his hard-won victory over Cystic Fibrosis was an inspiration. His determination and persistence have resulted in a story that most people could relate to. He brings a whole new meaning to the term 'survival skills!'...he is a great ambassador...for all who have obstacles in life to overcome".

"Brad Taylor was the main speaker at the Real Estate Institute Glenelg Regional Group main function for 1996...his presentation was extremely well received by the members...not only "inspirational"...also entertaining...(the) Group was more than happy with the performance by Brad as their chosen speaker"
Teresa Stark, Glenelg Regional Group, Secretary
REAL ESTATE INSTITUTE OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

"I have had a very positive response from everyone who was privileged to hear you speak. All were amazed at the obstacles you continually overcame. The courage and determination you constantly display are attributes that anyone seeking success requires. You certainly motivated a group of people to take some action and face the challenges ahead more aggressively. It is very competitive in the current private health insurance market and more than often, the difference between success and failure is the frame of mind".
