“I have found Colin an extremely impressive individual…. dynamic, positive, tenacious and inspired. His work is vital to the youth of Australia and he is making a huge difference to thousands of young people.”

“Colin is a young man who is gifted in many directions, both in the humanities and scientific areas, and will succeed, I feel sure, in anything he undertakes.”
His Honour Judge Ken Shadbolt QC, District Court of New South Wales, Australia
“The ripple effect of Colin’s vision is profound, he has inspired so many to take the lead, to take responsibility and show the way to others. The number of people that his program touches is immeasurable, not just those who go through the program, but their families and colleagues. There are those who have a vision and do nothing about it, and there are those like Colin, who choose to act and turn his vision into a mission. Colin has my admiration and respect for his endeavours.”
Diana Williams, Founder and Executive Chairman of Fernwood Women’s Health Clubs
“Congratulations on your win! From all of us here at Local Business Banking, congratulations of your achievement as the winner of the Educational Services category and the Young Small Business Champion Entrepreneur for New South Wales and ACT. You’ve proved your mettle against hundreds of other small businesses across the state.”

“It has been a real pleasure to be able to give Colin some business ideas to be able to help grow his business and see so many more young people impacted. These are the future leaders of our businesses, country, communities, charities and
churches. Unfortunately there aren’t enough people with a desire to help young people today succeed. Colin is certainly helping to fill that gap. I believe that he will be an inspiration to other young people to also take on the role
to sow into the new generations and for their future.”
Peter Irvine, Co-founder, Gloria Jeans Coffees International
“Colin’s excitement and interest in providing a motivational talk to these students was astounding and his presence made a tremendous difference on the day. He is a great example of a young Australian Leader.”

“Students came from a range of different schools and we were impressed with how quickly Colin established a relaxed and trusting environment in order for the students to feel comfortable in participating in the session. Colin’s session was fast paced, motivational and assisted students in putting a different perspective on their futures… The staff has been able to draw on some of the themes explored during Colin’s session.”
Kym Goodes, Manager, Department of Education
“Colin is enthusiastic in sharing his message and vision with the world and I am certain that his youthful energy and vitality will attract people to his workshops, and that they will be grateful to see and hear his message. For someone so young,
he has acquired very substantial wisdom and is sharing it with his generation. I am fascinated by the inspiration he brings to our youth. Colin is truly doing what he loves and loving what he does. His work with young people is truly remarkable and will certainly impact and contribute something magnificent to the lives of millions throughout the world.”
Dr. John F. Demartini, Bestselling author of the Breakthrough Experience & Teacher of the Secret
“I highly commend the commitment and it gives me great pleasure to be part of Colin’s global vision in helping young people develop leadership and life skills through the programs he offers.”
Dr Brian J Spencer, Registrar & Vice Principal, Macquarie University
“I think the most criminal act is the fact that this information, available through Colin, is not freely available to all kids and teens within the school system. We teach them English and maths yet do not explain how they can communicate and
negotiate in the real world to create win-win situations. We don’t teach them how it’s okay to be different and often this is the very point that becomes your strength in life. We don’t teach them to find their true calling in life, the life that they would absolutely love to lead, and how to work each day towards that life until one day they realise they are living the life they love and contribute significantly to the world. Luckily we have dedicated individuals like Colin to teach our future leaders these skills. To teach them how to love themselves and each other as they are right now, and give them the confidence to go out and make a difference to this world by living an inspired and purposeful life. It would certainly make the job of the police less demanding if there were more individuals like this!”
Natalie Smith, VIP protection, Australian Federal Police for 13 years
