Feedback from participants has been very positive and enthusiastic. Not only did Anna Healey have a great story to tell, she also had "street cred" with her audience. For many teachers, this is often an important factor. Anna's presentation contributed to a very successful event.
Fountain Gate Cluster

Anna Healey was a good speaker and 'hit the right note' in that her delivery suited the occasion. Participants comments on the evening were that Anna 'was an inspiration', 'she reminded me that not all teachers whinge all the time' (!) and for at least one individual, Anna made her feel that 'being just a middle-aged Mum doesn't have to be the sum total of my life'.

Having been assured that Anna Healey would entertain an audience, I can testify that she did this and more. Anna captivates her audience with an address that leaves people of all ages sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for more. Anna Healey is an inspiration and a joy to listen to.
Wodonga Catholic College 

Anna Healey was a delight. I have been to many a VIEW Gala over the years and never have I seen the guest speaker receive a standing ovation and only once at one of our Annual Conventions.  Anna's natural and open approach to her life and disability had the ladies laughing and shedding a tear or two, we all came away saying "we can do it", her courage was felt by all.
