I have just finished your book, it has often been said that out of hardship comes extraordinary qualities and you are a testament to that. You are a gift to us all and an example of what is possible.

Thank you for your outstanding presentations to our students and staff it was truly inspiring. You kept the auditorium spellbound for the duration of your hour and a half presentation with the story of your self-motivated road to success.

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. 

Nichola Lister
Acting Deputy Principal Norville State School.

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.
