Testimonials

  • “Sal delivered an engaging and thought-provoking presentation on a range of topics relating to modern mental health, while also grounding his message with an old-school sense of purpose. Our group meets on the first Tuesday of each month from March to November, and over the years we have welcomed many guest speakers. However, Sal's contribution stood out in a remarkable way.

    The true measure of his impact was reflected not only on the night - where our members listened intently and were captivated from start to finish - but also in the days following, as many approached me to share how impressed they were with both his knowledge and delivery.

    Sal brought professionalism, authenticity, and real value to our community. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a speaker for any group or organisation.”

  • “We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Sal from Aspire Wellbeing Education to speak with our coaching team, and we were incredibly impressed. Sal was an outstanding presenter.

    He was engaging, thoughtful, and highly relatable. His ability to use real-life examples made the session not only relevant but also impactful for our coaches.

    Since the presentation, we've noticed a clear positive shift in our team's approach and mindset. The insights Sal shared resonated deeply and have already made a meaningful difference in how our coaches work with others and with each other.

    We're very grateful for the experience and are already looking forward to having Sal back again in the near future. Highly recommended!”

  • “Attending this course was a game-changer, completely transforming my understanding of mental health. Now, I'm self-assured in my ability to notice and react to someone facing a mental health problem, making certain that they receive the professional help they need, or that the situation is diffused. Sal was exceptional in delivering the material in a clear, engaging, and relatable way. His friendly and approachable demeanour made everyone feel comfortable to share and discuss, which really enriched the learning experience. Without a doubt, the knowledge and skills I’ve picked up from this course will have a lasting impact!”
