Keynote speaker "Thinking outside the chair" Cerebral Palsy National Conference 2007

"Marayke was engaged as one of four keynote speakers at the CP Australia National Conference, "Thinking Outside The Chair" held at Jupiters Casino in May 2007. Other keynote speakers were Dr Norman Swan, Phillip Adams AO and Ric Thompson. Marayke's keynote address was entertaining and inspirational. She used a number of mediums in her address to entertain and deliver her message. Marayke captured the audience with her presentation, using a mix of humour and real life experiences.Marayke was inspirational and motivational, what a great way to close the conference! As final keynote speaker she bought together the theme of the conference, closing the conference on a 'high'."

Marayke spoke at a recent launch in Brisbane of Mission Australia's annual youth survey findings. She had the audience spellbound with her dazzling list of achievements - in and out of a swimming pool. As the organiser of this event she impressed me with her ability to link her experiences and achievements to the findings of the youth survey. Her talk was therefore highly relevant to the launch event. I would be delighted to invite Marayke to speak at a future function

"It was such a privilidge to have Marayke as a guest speaker to a Shine session on the topic of 'STRENGTH'. The class of yr7 girls were inspired, not only by her significant achievements, but by who she is and her strong character. The girls were captured by her visual presentation and goal-oriented message that "they can pursue their dreams!". Marayke embodies the key message of Shine as she values her worth, strength and purpose, and pursues to place these values on others."
