“Working with Jim Wilson has been transformative for my public speaking and presentation skills. His training not only sharpened my delivery and presence but also gave me the confidence to communicate with greater clarity and impact. Jim has an incredible ability to identify strengths and refine areas for improvement in a way that feels both constructive and motivating. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone wanting to elevate their professional communication.”

“Jim and Chris did a truly outstanding job hosting the inaugural Stadium Australia Hall of Fame function on behalf of Venues NSW. On a night that celebrated 25 years since the unforgettable Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, their professionalism, warmth, and deep connection to the Olympics and the other great sporting moments that have taken place at the venue elevated the entire event.
With 400 guests gathered on the field of Accor Stadium, Jim and Chris guided the evening with grace and energy, bringing the best out of the sporting legends that were honoured, including Cathy Freeman, Ian Thorpe, Louise Sauvage, Tim Sullivan, John Aloisi and Mark Schwarzer. It was a fantastic celebration of sport in Sydney and Australia, and Jim and Chris were central to its success.”

“Thanks so much for your support this week. The team loved it and I got some amazing feedback. I think the key was your ability to create a supportive environment and allowing each person to just be themselves. We all learnt a lot and I am sure our conference is going to be even better now that we have had your training.”

“Jim was incredibly engaging and brought a conversational, hands-on approach that immediately put our spokespeople at ease. He quickly grasped the nuances of their work, asked insightful questions, and provided strong examples of real-world media scenarios. Our team found the session highly valuable — not just in building confidence, but in strengthening their ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively respond to difficult questions. We’re already seeing the value of the training reflected in recent media interviews and public speaking opportunities.”

“Jim engaged and energised the audience with his presence and charisma. He was the perfect emcee for our two-day Domestic and Family Violence conference and formal dinner. He added a professional and organised feel to our important event, and he effectively communicated the program clearly and concisely to 500 attendees. Jim seamlessly transitioned between segments and speakers and showed flexibility when handling unexpected changes. His exceptional public speaking skills and strong stage presence made the audience feel welcomed, and he was well prepared and knowledgeable about the event and its purpose. Jim left a lasting impression on all those present and the event was a great success thanks to his involvement.”

“Our organisation had a relationship with Jim for around 10 years. The fact that it has endured that long and has involved many different corporate events and occasions says so much about how highly we regard him. A true professional who prepares thoroughly and delivers consistently on each occasion. A very genuine person with an easy-going nature makes him a pleasure to work with and be around. He is particularly generous with his time and has gone above and beyond on several occasions for us.
I look forward to our next opportunity of working with him.”

“I have known and worked with Jim Wilson for 20 years. Jim has been an MC for me, provided media and other advice and has become a great friend. He is professional, has incredible communication instincts, has gravitas and impact and has always had my back.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jim for your assignment and would be willing to provide references on his behalf that befit the calibre of professional he is. Jim is a class act on multiple dimensions - they do not come any better.”

“Jim Wilson is a much-loved member of our Australian Paralympic family. As an on-air personality for the Seven Network, Jim has helped drive the coverage of Paralympic sport to new levels and his passionate support and advocacy over many years has helped bring the incredible stories of our Paralympian athletes to millions of Australians. Off-screen, Jim’s service to Paralympics Australia has also been outstanding. He has hosted a number of our most important events – media launches, fundraisers, awards ceremonies – always with his trademark enthusiasm, incredible skill and professionalism that has made him such a leading player in the Australian media industry. We are incredibly grateful to know Jim is always right behind us.”

“Jim did an outstanding job as MC of our inaugural fundraising dinner. His exceptional professionalism combined with his willingness to share his own personal experience with sensitivity and authenticity ensured that the event significantly exceeded our fundraising target. As well as being superbly organised, he took the extra initiative to interview one of our researchers before the event to deepen his knowledge of the Institute. He kept the formalities on track all night whilst entertaining and inspiring our audience. I wouldn't hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Jim.”

“Exceptional, engaging, enthusiastic and the ultimate professionals. The Comms Gurus have brought their brilliant pizazz to numerous Qantas PR events over the past seven years and played a key role in the success of these events. Jim is unflappable under pressure, generous with his time and knowledge and his positive energy radiates long after he has left the building. They are without doubt the most articulate, warm and witty hosts/MCs who always goes above and beyond the brief and makes sure every person in her orbit feels a million dollars. They are highly adaptable and take any last minute curveballs in their stride with good grace and humour. 11/10 would recommend.”

“I have known and worked with Chantelle for over 20 years in her various capacities as Backing Vocalist, Recording Artist, Live Performer, Tutor and Voice Coach. In my opinion she is one of the best vocal coaches and practitioners in the country. Chantelle has the skills to help you discover and develop your voice so that you and your message will be heard clearly and confidently. In my experience, there’s nothing Chantelle doesn’t know about the voice and it’s power to communicate effectively and efficiently. I endorse her unconditionally and recommend her as a voice and vocal coach without hesitation.”

“Over many years, I have watched with admiration, listened in awe and marvelled at Chantelle Ormandy’s voice work and skills.
She’s simply extraordinary – warm, funny, patient and a great teacher.
I’ve seen her transform kids into school music comedy mini stars, pull a mass choir together for the Pope’s visit and provide exquisite backing vocals for everyone from John Farnham and Burt Bacharach to Tony Bennett. Vocally, she’s a miracle worker.If you want to hum in tune, join the chorus, belt out an operetta or simply be heard….try Chantelle Ormandy! 
I don’t know how she does it but she does.
She’s amazing!”

“Chantelle is a dream!
If you are taught by her you are blessed”
