Dylan Alcott OAM

Dylan's presentation was absolutely engaging, his story was powerful, filled with emotion and plenty of laughs. We’ve had such wonderful feedback from staff with some messages coming through to advise that its already supported an environment where staff feel confident to talk about their disability to their managers.
Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources

Dylan was as personable, funny, and inviting online as I'm sure he would be in person. He engaged our senior students continually throughout his presentation, which can be difficult when presenting virtually. He clearly loves what he does.

Dylan was and absolute professional, he was engaging and adapted to the online setting so well.
RMIT University

Dylan was amazing. His presentation connected with the audience, it was raw, real and wonderfully motivational. Delegates were engaged as they were taken on his journey; they laughed and cried but overall they were inspired.
AARNET

Dylan was a truly engaging speaker that held the audience’s attention for every moment that he was on stage. His messaging and delivery was such that those of all ages and backgrounds could take something away from the life affirming messages he spoke about.
Warrnambool City Council

Dylan was a great drawcard for my event and delivered on his promise on the night. He is a passionate, inspirational and humorous speaker that easily connects with the audience. Dylan genuinely engaged with other members of the panel and was respectful to their viewpoints. Off stage, Dylan was a pleasure to deal with; he was professional, punctual and down to earth. I would highly recommend booking Dylan for any public engagement.
University of New South Wales

Dylan was amazing. He immediately engaged with the audience and took them on an entertaining and enlightening journey through his life experiences. Importantly, he was able to relate the key messages back to the audience which was mostly small business owners.
City of Melton

He is the best speaker on the circuit. Warm, funny, inspiring, clever.

We knew Dylan would help us deliver our message being an advocate for disability awareness and education (that's why we chose him) but he totally exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Dylan had the full attention of every guest as he took us on a journey that was funny, sad, funny, educational, funny, heartfelt and funny. We went from the locker room at the Australian Open to the Intensive Care Unit at a Melbourne hospital. It was a powerful story that left the audience feeling empowered – to do more to support and normalise disabilities in our community.

Dylan was brilliant! Charming, friendly, down to earth, engaging, thought provoking and funny. Willing to give his time and answer questions with honesty and authenticity. Fantastic audience engagement. He was the definite highlight of the day and I have heard nothing but excellent feedback.
Wine Australia

Our Summit theme was ‘Inspiring Change’ and certainly Dylan inspires change and has made changes himself that are inspiring.
Australasian Association of Convenience Stores

Dylan delivered a highly engaging, funny and powerful presentation to our staff on “becoming the best version of yourself”. He spoke about breaking down the stigma of people with disabilities with stories of his childhood, the road to his Paralympic success, his professional achievements and shared some funny sports anecdotes. He passed around his gold medals and stayed for some photos at the end of the presentation. He is truly an inspirational athlete, TV and Radio personality and entrepreneur.
National Archives of Australia

Dylan gave a fantastic presentation and really hit the mark for the theme of the conference which was a ‘good life for all Victorians’. His presentation was extremely engaging and funny as he talked about the challenges of low expectations for people with disability, and patronising community attitudes.

His leadership and passion to overcome these attitudes through his activities eg. Get Skilled Access and the Dylan Alcott Foundation shone through. We had a number of people with lived experience of disability in the audience, and they asked questions of Dylan which was great.  His messages were important for the community sector to hear in their aspirations of diverse and inclusive leadership.

Dylan’s presentation ended our conference on a high, and we have had many people say to us what a fantastic and positive way to end the conference. From the event feedback received, it’s clear he was the highlight of the day for many people.

Thank you Dylan. We would love to work with you again in the future.
Victorian Council of Social Service

A standing ovation, what more could we ask for?  We are a purpose-driven organisation, and Dylan spoke with nothing but purpose.  He really brought the house down. 
Intrepid Group

Excellent.  Dylan was able to work a very diverse crowd and engage with both students, staff and councillors.  His language was great and did not overwhelm.  His down to earth nature put people at ease, and his openness to any form of questioning was refreshing for many people who may not have had a lot of contact with people who have a disability.  I would recommend Dylan in a heartbeat.
Wyndham City Council

Dylan was without doubt the best Keynote we have used. I have lost count of how many Members came up to me after the AGM and commented on how good Dylan was. He relates to the audience, he has humility, and he is a great guy.
Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia

Dylan is just himself which in itself is very refreshing, and has the ability to share his story without wanting sympathy for his great life.

Dylan provided one of the most powerful, entertaining, thought provoking and engaging presentations our group has seen.  Never have I received so many positive comments from a group than I did about Dylan – a truly inspiring man!

Dylan was incredibly inspiring and we couldn’t have chosen a better speaker to finish our one-year program. He really dedicated his time and effort to give a great presentation. He was open to answer all the questions from the group, take photos – an amazingly humble and talented guy.

His presentation was very motivational and inspires us to be better.
