About Our Mentors
Tom Hendrick
Tom runs Talent Academy's group workshops and one-to-one training. Formerly a tax lawyer with a top-tier South Australian law firm (Finlaysons), Tom is a professional public speaker and trainer.
Tom has worked with government (inc. the Australian Tax Office), professional associations (inc. the Institute of Public Accountants), individuals, and businesses large & small.
Tom's approach to speaking training:
(1) achieving tangible outcomes when you present ("get a return on investment");
(2) finding ways to reduce preparation time ("time is precious"); and
(3) eliminating "presentation dead space" by using principles distilled from great speakers ("learn from the best").

Sanja is one of the most engaging, powerful and infectiously genuine speakers I have ever met. I've learned more about sub communications in 1 session with Sanja than I have from anyone else. It was fantastic.
