“I recently had the privilege of attending an extraordinary session led by Keith Banks, an inspirational speaker whose insights and stories left a profound impact on our management team here in Toowoomba. Keith’s presentation was not only thought provoking but deeply transformative, guiding the management team through compelling real-life strategies on dealing with mental health, connection, inspiration, wellness, and transformation. His ability to connect with each attendee on both a personal and professional level was truly remarkable. Keith Banks is undoubtably a speaker I would highly recommend for any team looking to reach their full potential while navigating the complexities of today’s business and human resource environments.
His session was an invaluable investment in our future success and I’m already planning a session for Keith to present to a broader level of staff.”

“We really appreciated having Keith as a guest speaker on ‘Mental Health and Wellbeing’ at our recent quarterly business toolbox session. His ability to show vulnerability and communicate his real life experiences on how he managed to find his way back from serious PTSD was extremely inspirational. Many of our staff have commented on the usefulness and relevance of the discussion and they will clearly benefit from listening and interacting with Keith. They will no doubt be taking his message further to their own social networks. Thanks again Keith!”

It was a pleasure working with Keith on our recent Conference. From our very first interaction Keith was highly engaged with our event, making sure to tailor his content to our audience, align with our Conference themes and ensure there were no issues with the content that would be covered. No request for additional information to assist in our marketing was too extreme and Keith happily promoted his involvement in the event to his networks as well. During the event he held the room so well you could hear a pin drop, and anecdotal evidence tells us that the key learnings from his presentation were very well received. I hope the opportunity to work with Keith comes up again in the future.

‘ Keith delivered a dramatic, raw and deeply personal presentation. He spoke from his heart about his lived experiences during his traumatic childhood and decorated career. He is articulate and moving and on a mission to personally change the stigma surrounding PTSD. His presentation is a must see event that everyone needs to experience.’
Nick Koerbin Executive Director Association Executive Services
“We engaged Keith Banks as a speaker for our 2022 AES conference in Melbourne to share his story about the impact Post Traumatic Stress Disorder had on his own life and how to manage your own personal mental health issues. There was no doubt about it Keith’s story and message was raw and captivating so much so he was voted one of the best speakers at our conference by all the attendees.”
