Feedback
If you are looking for a presenter with passion and fun, while delivering a serious message, then Wade would be my choice. Just Water

Wade Jackson is an outstanding presenter. He has relevant, fresh, interesting thinking that speaks to the zeitgeist and supports this with great, compelling research and sound thinking. I have seen only a few people, in my 30 year career, who can energise, entertain, inform and illuminate very busy groups of people in the way that Wade can.

Wade was the perfect speaker to kick off a full day conference, he had the audience of 160+ up out of their seats within the first 5 minutes creating a great vibe in the room. His content was spot on with many delegates making special mention of his session.
