“Josh has such fantastic engagement with the kids and delivers such practical and important information in such a digestible manner. With at-risk youth it’s important to be able to keep them interested, field difficult questions and deal with tough topics — no easy task, yet handled so well by Josh. He is a credit to the Just Be Nice Project and the fantastic work they do in community development and tackling real issues faced by at-risk youth.”

“Youth Enterprises Australia's (YEA) Youth Advisory Group chose Josh Reid Jones out of a number of accomplished speakers to present on the topic of ‘Building Resilience’ to our community of young participants. It was a delight to work with Josh in developing this session. He was incredibly professional, conducting a site visit and consultation with our team prior to the event to ensure he was understanding the brief and what the objectives of the session were. The presentation met the mark perfectly with incredible engagement and participation from all attendees. It was a testament to the power of the session, with all participants remaining after the event to speak with Josh and ask more questions. The feedback from the participants was excellent and we are thankful to Josh for delivering such an impactful session. We would certainly recommend Josh for his professionalism and delivering a highly engaging and impactful event. Thanks Josh for a great session with our participants!”

“Just wanted to reach out to say thank you for your Keynote Address at our conference yesterday. Feedback from the students and staff has been really positive and, aside from this, it was just great to meet you in person and have you with us for the day. I’m sorry we weren’t able to talk for longer afterwards but I hope you enjoyed your time with our Year 11s. I know they got a lot out of hearing you speak and the messaging was great for this cohort at this point in their development. We’d love to continue the connection so please let me know whether you would consider coming back for next year’s conference.”

GOTAFE had the absolute pleasure of having the approachable, inspirational and all-round nice guy, Josh Reid Jones attend our Staff Development Day in April. Over 300 GOTAFE staff attended the day and were privileged to listen to Josh and his story. Josh's mission is “To Change The Way People Help People,” and this resonated in all of us here in the education sector. Josh was wonderful to work with and it didn’t go unnoticed by all who attended. Our staff loved the opportunity to talk to Josh throughout the day in a casual setting. The feedback received was of a high standard, and everyone walked away with the key message of “Just Be Nice.” If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend Josh for your next event.

“I had the pleasure of participating in a mentoring session with Josh through the Monash Alumni mentoring program and was very grateful for the experience. Josh brought a huge amount of authenticity, passion and knowledge to the session. He took the time to get an understanding of my goals and areas of interest before sharing insights and advice from his career, experience and learnings. I left the session excited to take action. Following our conversation, I also had many opportunities for reflection and areas where I needed to re-evaluate my processes and direction. This has allowed me to focus on what is most important and impactful. Josh has been very generous with his time throughout the process and provided opportunities to support further and answer any questions that have come up. I couldn’t recommend Josh more for mentorship and am glad I had the opportunity to connect with him.”

“Josh is an incredible speaker and wonderful motivator when he spoke at our virtual morning tea for R U OK? Day. What the group really loved about Josh was his ability to use layman terms that all our team could understand. Josh is confident, funny, outgoing and was vulnerable enough to share his personal stories with a group of approximately 80 employees. We can’t thank Josh enough for sharing his recommendations and tips on how to ask someone ‘are you okay?’ and would recommend Josh as a guest speaker at any motivational or mindset event.”

Josh really impressed not only myself but the staff through his personalised approach and shared wonderful insights into how to best deal with the difficult conversations that may arise from approaching the topic of R U OK? I received immediate feedback from many staff members regarding how much they enjoyed Josh’s session and thank Josh for the impact it had on our staff’.

As Editor-in-Chief of national publication STRONG Fitness Magazine Australia, I have worked with Josh on several mental health features for our print editions, and also enlisted his expertise at our recent mental health panel at The Fitness Show in Melbourne. I have no problem highly recommending Josh as both an expert media source and as a presenter. Well-read, articulate and charismatic, Josh has the rare ability to filter highly complex topics into easily understood and engaging copy and presentations. I hope to have him involved in our brand and magazine for a long time to come, and would encourage any other company that values physical and mental health to do the same.

We asked Josh to speak to our people at Peter Mac just after RUOK day but also in the context of ideas, suggestions and experiences with well-being and wellness through what is such a challenging time for those working in health through Victoria's numerous lockdowns, and whilst case numbers escalate. Josh's easy-going but enthusiastic style, common sense approach but great insights and his honest self reflection was the perfect combination to share with our people in such a time of need. A pleasure to do business with.

Josh recently delivered an outstanding keynote presentation at One in Five's Evening of Hope event. From the very beginning, he had our audience captivated with his inspiring and powerful messages. He is a dynamic, engaging, authentic and passionate presenter who shared valuable advice on how we can better support people who are struggling with mental illness and life challenges. Many attendees have reached out to share how impressed and moved they were with Josh's presentation. It was an absolute privilege to have Josh playing a key role at our event and I am personally so grateful for Josh's support and for the incredible work he is doing to make the world a better place.

Josh was incredibly amazing at delivering a great message to us all at Johnstaff when we had the privilege of having him speak for RUOK? Day. Although at Johnstaff we pride ourselves on being a really supportive, caring bunch of people, RUOK? Day is still an important reminder that the workplace is a crucial place to keep an eye on those around us and that we should feel empowered to step into those conversations on a regular basis. Everyone appreciated how spot on Josh was and we look forward to seeing him again!

It's always such a pleasure, and an honour, working with Josh! The feedback we have received from our customers and end-users following webinars we've hosted with Josh, has always been extremely positive. The conversations always provide people with inspiration, value and actionable tips, and leave people feeling better and more informed. The delivery of his chats is candid, real, compassionate and kind, engaging and entertaining, often with some humour sprinkled in between. Some of our webinar viewers have even said that Josh's recent talk that he joined us for, for Mental Health Awareness Week NZ, was one of the best talks they'd ever attended. I'd highly recommend partnering with Josh. We look forward to working with him again in the future!

Josh was our guest speaker for REA Group’s Customer Solutions and Operations Team kick-off event where he spoke to a crew of 120 people on our theme of ‘Believe’ and going after what you want. From the brief to delivery, Josh tailored his presentation to who we are and what we’re about. The work he put in was evident even before the event kicked off, where he seemingly spent time going over notes, but in fact was observing the chats we were having and weaved that into his talk. Josh’s content and delivery was not only engaging and humorous, but he also did a fantastic job of making it relatable to our audience - the team came away energised and motivated. He showed vulnerability and an acceptance of his failures and how he’s used this to stand up again. We can’t thank him enough for the presentation, and he was the talk of the event amongst our team. We loved that he even hung back at the end to chat with everyone. Thanks again Josh - we can’t wait to have you back!

I just wanted to drop you a note and give you some feedback. You were brilliant! Some of the words those in the room used to describe your message... inspiring, honest, raw, funny, relatable, moving, emotional. You ripped a lot of the hardness off the surface and really brought perspective in what is a very challenging time in our business. Thank you for sharing your story and message. You made a difference yesterday. You truly did. Thank you again Josh. You will be one of the highlights of our week.

We recently had Josh MC our Fundraiser which included him hosting our Q+A and running our live auction. From the outset Josh was incredibly genuine in his interest for our cause. Josh's positive energy, deep understanding of the social issues being discussed and ability to make space for the voices of those he was hosting saw all our guests feel welcome and resulted in an incredibly successful and uplifting event. We would recommend Josh to anyone looking for a leader who is confident to facilitate and generate fun and kindness in any room he's in.

Such a pleasure to have Josh Reid Jones speak at our Good Business Forum. Josh’s genuine and authentic nature resonated with our audience and perfectly complemented an expert panel discussion about wellness. With a big heart for community, and appetite to make a difference, and with the ability to make every word count, Josh was an inspired speaker. Thanks Josh Reid Jones!

Even though he is no doubt busy with his own organisation, he donates his time to inspire workplaces to care about one another in a funny, uplifting and real talk. He spoke from his heart with depth, real meaning and compassion. Some had a chance to speak with him afterwards and he was sincere and very easy to talk to. His talk helped bring back a bit of the caring for our colleagues that had been missing of late. Multiple staff mentioned what a great talk it was, we all took something different from it. Given that Truck drivers are known for being a bit tough and stubborn when it comes to asking for help or sharing how they feel, hopefully if they are struggling they won’t be as afraid to seek help from one of their colleagues!” We really appreciated his honesty, compassion shown in his uplifting speech and his willingness to ride a motorbike over the Westgate Bridge on what was a pretty chilly early morning. The world could use more people like Josh!

Josh provided an engaging and valuable presentation for the projects team at Metro Trains on the topic of mental wellness.

Josh was a great inspiration to us here at DXC, highlighting the importance of looking after each other on a daily basis rather than pretend to care once a year. The whole room, full on consultants, was touched by his story, and how his upbringing helped shape him into the person he is today. It was the kickstart we needed in transforming the consulting culture in our organisation, prioritising our people at every stage of our business operations. We understand the importance of focusing on our people, and thanks to Josh we were able to take the first step in demonstrating it. Thank you Josh, for everything you did for us, and we look forward to having you back with us at the next event!

The presentations were extremely valuable to our people & our business - the feedback received was very positive and has shifted the mind set of those who attended. I have also shared my experience with the leaders towards speaking to their staff in meetings regards looking after each other and checking in with each other. My testimonial would be that you came to our organisation with the greatest of intentions and in your own time. You had a genuine approach, shared your own personal experience and opening up to people that you have never met - It showed that were real & your intentions were to help others look after themselves & the people around them. Most importantly you demonstrated a great passion towards caring for people's well being & relaying your knowledge & experience to help others. Mate, very inspiring & very well delivered. Keen to have you back here soon and have you speak to a larger audience.

Our Staff were extremely positive with Josh's presentation and really appreciated his laid back and approachable nature. Josh was able to speak about a serious issue in a casual way which was a very effective technique. He spoke about real life issues and used his story as an example which was really interesting and replayed the fact that it's okay to speak up as everyone is fighting their own battles. Big thanks to Josh for giving up his time for us! I would highly recommend his services

Josh spent time engaging with staff and was a fabulous addition to our pastoral care programme.

Josh balanced humour and warmth with sensitivity, creating an engaging atmosphere where everyone felt included. His professionalism and ability to guide the room made the event flow seamlessly. We are so grateful for his contribution in setting the perfect tone for such an important campaign.
