I was impressed by your book. It certainly has an inspirational message for young people.
Your presentation was excellent and the hit of the 2 days for the students. I would love to have you back again next year as the students really benefitted from your talk.
I have just finished reading you book and will be recommending it to some of my clients as a way of showing them that they can reclaim their lives from an abusive childhood.
Steven Murphy’s visit was absolutely wonderful and the reports from both students and teachers have been extremely positive, the feedback from that experience was tremendous. Steven Murphy has a real gift when it comes to presenting his message to children. What is more important is the message he gives to the children.
I thought you might like to know that you received a special mention in our Principal’s address at the Tully State School he mentioned your visit to our School as a memorable and important occasion. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story with our students.
