| Amazing, Inspiring, Rewarding, Funny, Fantastic
So, on the 29th of April the Fast Forward Workshop I attended was a very inspiring talk and it has motivated me to finally believe in myself and to listen to my heart and not to let others stop me from following my dream, which is to became an author. In your speech, you explained to us about all the struggles you faced in life and that it wasn't easy accomplishing what you wanted, without people in life stopping from achieving your goal. But, that didn't stop you. You always looked to the brighter side of life. And by the way it was the most motivating/inspring talk I've had in my lifetime. It's awesome that you made your own brand. :) Amina Talk Topic Event |

WOW! The talk you (Sascha) gave on the 3rd of June for Fastforward was Amazing. Honestly, I'm the type of person to blank out when it comes to presentations or when someones going to make a long speech. But when you started talking about dreams and ways to reach them, I automatically became interested. The way you demonstrated your presentation was really interesting, I was tuned in the entire time. I never got bored because you seemed to make it interesting or exciting. Everyone seemed to be inspired by you. Your kind words and enlightening advice made your talk worthwhile and something I'll will always remember.My school and I were very fortunate to have been able to hear one of your talks. That is all I have to say for now but Thank You very much for everything Sascha. Hope to hear from you again. :) Anasitasia Talk Topic Event |

Most Inspirational Hour I've Ever Had
The RYPEN Speech was simply amazing. I don't think I have ever learnt more in such a small amount of time. Sacha's story itself was compelling and was certainly related to the topic of the talk. the thing that stood out most is just the fact that it is possible to follow your dreams and do what you want to do, that you are in fact still in control of your life.

Positive Influential Talk that had a Real Effect on People “Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” - Gail Devers The highlight of my day during the uni Fast Forward event was listening to your inspirational talk. It is obivious that you have a very positive outlook on life and with great determination and effort, you can fulfill your goals and dreams. During your influential talk, I have learnt that your future depends on what you do now in the present. I truly want to become a Journalist when I grow up. As of now, I have been contacting my local newspaper for my year 10 work experience. I really appreciated how you shared your stories and ideas because I really took them on board, i guess the path of reaching your goals is never easy with its doubts and blocks along the way, but those goals, no matter how big or small they are, in life they are truly possible.

Very Inspirational, Stretches Ones Ideas to Something Bigger in Life Sacha's workshop was, and is an inspiration to all who has heard him speak. Sacha is stretching the minds of people who are interested to succeed not only something further in life, but for the career they thought was out of their reach. I am glad to have gone to Rypen Camp, meeting Sacha was an experience that I think every teenager has to go through to truly live life to its extent. Many people have had a hard and stressful life growing up. But not many of them have come out on top with a smile like Sacha has, most importantly to exceed his personal goals for life, to inspire the minds of teenagers and helping them live life to the max. Thanks heaps Sacha Angus Talk Topic Event |
| Awesome, Inspiring, A Great Time :D :D
Sachas' talk on the 22/11/11 was a very inspiring talk. Sacha taught me that no matter what life throws at you, you have to get up and keep going. He also taught that with every dilemma comes a new opportunity and you have to make the most of each opportunity in life. What i most enjoyed was how you emphasized on the point of making the most out of life and whatever life throws at you, you just get back up. Keep going Sacha!! You rock (Y) Angus Talk Topic Event |

After hearing Sacha speak I was truly moved by his optimism and passion, which are two characteristics I have always tried to improve on. He taught me to do what I love, live my dreams and that it is possible for me to achieve them aslong as I put in the effort. I am so greatful to have attended one of his speaches, Thank you. Asha Talk Topic Event |
| ABSOLUTE INSPIRATIONAL!
After the day of the Fast Forward day, I went home and changed my life around. I was so inspired by Sacha's speech. It moved me to do my best in everything I do. I learned that everything is achievable and reachable if I really want it. It was a struggle for me to stand up for myself and what I believe in, but after that day, I have more confident in myself. From then onwards, I do everything for myself and my loved ones; the ones that mean most to me and the one that are my world. The only thing I can say to you Sacha is THANK YOU! Keep up the good work, and I believe in you and that you can reach for the stars. Beatrice :) Talk Topic Event |

It was an Awesome Time and Won't Forget the Time
i got out of your work shop, That in life you dont need to do something that you dont want to just because people push you into doing it. when you go for a job or something big in your life make sure you have a passion for it and are interested in it there is no use doing something you dont like.

Sacha's talk on his experiences and life story were very motivational and interesting. He is a very relatable person, and addresses the audience well. His talk included information on his brand (Sachas), his 50/50 business model, and his book, Teens Big Dreams. Each of these were very fascinating to hear about, and were very thought-provoking ideas. Altogether, a very stirring and inspiring speech. Thank you! :) Brendan Talk Topic Event |

The Presentation was GREAT!
So, as I seen Sacha, I thought he was an ordinary normal guy. When I heard his stories and how he made hes own company and became the person he is today, just inspired me so much. He is an amazing person, and I never thought struggling through life, like what Sacha went through, would have a positive outcome in the future. The pain and heartache he went through in his highschool years, definitely will pay off in the oncoming years! All I have to say is, his speech/talk made me realise a lot of things, that I thought aren't necessary in life and that nothing is impossible!!! He made me realise that, it's not just one person in the world, but many around you. And every person deserves the same respect as anybody else. You are awesoome Sacha!!! Brigitta Talk Topic Event |
| Inspiring, Awesome, Confident, Cool, Optimistic
Your Talk was truly inspirational. You went throught many problems and you still were able to look at things in an optimistic way. You had a dream and you followed it. And you had heart to help teens with struggles achieve their own dreams. Yeah, it sounds cheesy. When you talked about 'TallPoppy Syndrome', I learned something new. There is actually a syndrome for 'hating on success'. And you gave an example. About Rebecca Black, and how she was getting hated on about her song 'Friday'. I must tell you, she may have gained my respect. And your brand. That's truly awesome. I hope it's going well. Oh, and I've requested your book at my school library. But not only was it inspirational to me, a friend of mine is aspiring to become a writer. I think you've helped her. Chanee Talk Topic Event |

| Something that Changed my Life, in a Very Good Way!
In 2011 Sacha was one of the Speakers that spoke at the 2011 Rypen camp. The workshop Sacha did was amazing. I can honestly say that Sacha gave me the positive input in my life, that I needed. The enthusiasm and the way he connected with all the students at the camp was truly great! The passion he has for what he believes in is something that i and so many others admire! He has proved that we can really do whatever we want to do in life, no matter what. If people put us down, we just need to stand back up and keep going. One thing I will always remember about sacha's workshop was when he talked about negative people.He said; ' The longer you are around negative people, the more negative you will become.' These words are ones that everyone should listen to. He is such an inspirational person to be around. I feel very lucky to be able to say I have met him, and I really hope I get the chance to hear him talk again! Chloe Talk Topic Event |

An Inspirational Experience of Life Lessons and Goals
Sacha's talk was inspirational and broadened my views to experiences and ideas I otherwise may not have considered. His talk taught me to contemplate dreams or goals I might otherwise have thrown aside, believing them impossible. Now I feel more confident to not just think these aspirations, but voice and follow them. Sacha's talk has taught me things that I can hold on and utilise in every day situations for the rest of my life. Thank you Sacha! Christie Talk Topic Event |
| Interactive, Fun, Interesting, Awesome, Helpful with my Goals in Life The workshop was amazing. I have learnt a lot of things that I will apply to my dreams with my heart and soul. Nobody has ever taught me anything like this - how to set your dreams and goals. I also had the opportunity to sit down and have lunch with Sacha and some friends and we had a great chat about our dreams and passions. Since the workshop I have been texting Sacha and we have been communicating via the Internet. Overall it was an amazing experience. :) Christopher Talk Topic Event |

Sacha's Presentation was Enjoyable and Inspiring
I thought that Sachas workshop was a great lecture.. But it wasnt a school lecture, but a life lecture, which I believe is very importanat as well.. I think that Sacha has inspired many people, not just me and my friends, but also many others who he has spoken to.. Sacha's talk wasnt just someone who had to say something even if he didnt mean it (like what most people do)...he means what he says, which in my opinion can sometimes be more than the talk itself..because sometimes, even if a person says something that is true, but they dont mean it, the impact can be lost.. I would really like to thank Sacha for what he has done and I look forward to hearing more from him and about how he inspires people. Cyrille Talk Topic Event |
| It was Inspiring, Memorable, Extraordinary and I'll Forever Cherish it. On the 29th of April I attended the Fast Forward program which was held by UWS. I was lucky enough to be part of the very first audience that Sacha had spoken to at one of these workshops. He was able to interact with the Audience and get us involved. He shared past experiences and how he came to Australia, what his interests were and how he followed his dreams. He gave us an insight as to what his book ' Teens Big Dreams' was about and how it would help teenagers discover their dream and choose the right paths to full-fil their dreams. He spoke very enthusiastically and it was obvious that he is very passionate about helping others find their dream and follow it. He helped us realise that we might want to choose a career that we will enjoy doing and want to do as opposed to one that pays well. A job should be one that has value and one that you wake up in the morning wanting to do and are passionate about and not just a job that u feel that u have to do. Having Sacha talk to us made our day at UWS more enjoyable and being able to ask him questions was great. He was really inspirational and his words meant a great deal to everyone and we will forever cherish his great advice. I felt as if he was talking to me alone and I felt his experiences through his words. Sacha is truly an amazing person and is one that wont give up until him or someone has reached their full potential. I feel so privilege to have met him, he has put everything into perspective and has allowed me to see the world and live life to the fullest. Eman Talk Topic Event |

Fantastically, Inspirationally, Innovative and Worth-While At Sacha’s workshop on the 27th May 2011, I felt as if I had gotten an immense slap in the face. Myself, and positively a number, if not all of the students at the Fast Forward program, were greeted with a polite, pioneering man with the greatest ambitions. He recounted to each of us his story, and the journey that he underwent to get to where he is now. He spoke about his hardships at home, at school and how he was able to push through these difficulties and work towards realising his own dream. Personally I was taught several things during Sacha’s presentation; I was taught that, whatever life throws at you, you persevere, I was taught that life isn’t easy, it is one of the hardest tasks ever to be set to a human being and, the most important, among other things of course, I was taught to never falter and to maintain the utmost resilience when it comes to realising my own dreams. After Sacha’s presentation I have realized that I need to start working towards my own dream. I need to grasp at my ambitions and aspirations and bring to fruition a reality of the things that I love and things that I want to do and achieve in life. Meeting Sacha and keeping in touch with him after the program has been great, after but one encounter with him, he is, most definitely, someone that I look up to and someone that I want to aspire to be like in the future.

| Unique and Interesting. A Workshop Unlike any Others
To be honest I actually enjoyed your workshop. It was very unique compared to other leadership events, workshops, seminars etc etc that I've been to and I've been to thousands. What really caught my interest with the whole workshop was how you explored a different aspect of leadership relating to an individuals life and how leadership begins by leading your own life.

Vibrant, Lively, Wise, Entertaining, Captivating
I have seen Sacha speak at numerous events, most recently at the Golden Key New Member Reception for UWS. Sacha is a vibrant and lively speaker who brings a wealth of life experience to his talks. He has a knack for keeping his audience captivated on his every word, mingling personal stories with great advice, tailoring his words to the people that he is speaking to. Sacha has wisdom beyond his years which comes through in his talks, and he makes them entertaining and appropriate for people of all ages to enjoy. Not only does he deliver well, but he is also willing to interact with many keen members of his audience personally after an event. It is always a pleasure to see Sacha speak :) Esterina Talk Topic Event |

Sacha's presentation was extremely motivational! He told us his story of success very honestly, inspiring us that we too, could achieve what we wanted. It was his story of his success in the HSC that has motivated me so much. I am now set on achieving my dream mark in my HSC and willing to give it my all in my final year of school!

Clear, Concise and amazing. A very touching life with amazing experience which led a young man through the lowest of lows to find himself climbing up against all odds to bring him back on top of life and with his story and his Business, He is on a mission to help the world through his company. His talk was very emotional and captivating as Sacha talked about his life and how he came to be where he is now. George Talk Topic Event |
| Absolutely Captivating, Leaving you Feel Completely Motivated and Inspired
Being apart of the Fast Forward team, I was honoured with the opportunity to hear Sacha speak to the Year 10 high school students of the Western Sydney region. Sacha showed such confidence and charisma, making it hard to erase the constant smile I had throughout the whole presentation. I had never expected that I would attend the Year 10 Skills Day and come across someone like Sacha who left me feeling completely inspired. By the end of the day I was filled with such a positive and happy outlook on life. It was beyond amazing to hear of the difference such a young person was making in the world, allowing even myself to feel motivated and feel as though I too will be able to make a difference and achieve whatever it is I set my mind too. Sacha is an outstanding speaker and it is great to know that there are people like himself in the world that are making a huge impact in young people's lives. Grace Talk Topic Event |

I really enjoyed every single second of your workshop Sacha. It has been a pleasure being a part of it. You have really inspired, motivated and raised my confidence through your workshop. I really loved the advices you gave because it was based on your personal experiences. You really are a gifted person Sacha and I hope that you will continue to follow your dreams and continue to motivate, inspire and give teenagers like myself, who are confused with life, some hope for their future and make them feel strong, confident and happy for who they really are. You have really helped me a lot Sacha and I hope I will get more and more advices from you. You have had an impact on my thinking, in a positive way and the most that I can do in return is say, Thank you so much for everything. :) Hassan Talk Topic Event |
| Interesting, Motivating, Honourable, Easy-going, Conversational
Sacha started with his talk with a quick background about where he had grown up which allowed me personally - as I'm sure it did others - to have an understanding of who he was and where he was coming from. He had great stage presence holding my attention from the very start to the end. He spoke very confidently and naturally. Given his age, I think that this too is an amazing skill to have already gained. His story is very inspiring, from a teenage boy sitting his HSC to a young man with his own company. The best part about 'Sacha's' is it's 50/50 business model. I remember when he first said the words 50/50, I understood straight away and thought it was a fantastic idea. His talk was all about how he wasn't going to let his circumstances define who he was or what he could achieve. This positive attitude seemed to beam from within him. His book was not written, and company not started as a means of financial gain, but rather as an efficient way of helping others achieve their dreams. A truly honorable character, Sacha has reinforced the idea for me that helping others is something that we all should do. Jackie Talk Topic Event |

Could Not Get Any Better
The workshop could not get any better, most talks have the audience tuned out within 20 mins but sacha's talk had the audience focused and tuned in with most people participating and interacting with each other. the talk has inspired me and im sure many more that everyone is a leader in their own way, even when they did not think so themselves. He showed that we all have the opportunity to excel not only with school leadership but beyond. this was one of the talks ive attended in my life and im sure it will remain like that.

| Inspiring and Heart-Touching
Hello Sacha, I was really happy when i got chosen to go to the WRED day. But i wasn't excited, but when we got there and i heard your story and how u followed your dreams, i started getting excited and i wanted to talk to u. When u started talking i was amazed how u actually spoke infront of all the students and u looked right in their eyes. Theres this thing about your speech or maybe u that made me feel that i will get to where i want . i'm sure that whoever was there on that day had the same feeling. Your story was heart-touching, although u went through had times, but this didnt bring u down. I dont know how to describe how i felt With love Talk Topic Event |

Your speech was incredibly inspiring. I thought alot about what you said. So from now i have been planing on what i want to do in the near future and what it takes to get there. I now believe that i shouldn't waste my life doing something i don't like but do something i love and have the passion for. I still don't know what i want to do but I'm going to do something I love thanks to your speech :) Jennifer Talk Topic Event |
| Touchingly Beyond Inspirational and Creates an Immense Amount of Hope
Hey Sacha so a couple of months ago a bunch of students went UWS and i was part of it, YAY! The things you said on that say were very inspirational, it makes me feel like everything can be achieved as long as you dont give up and there are many oportunites available to you and you got to take as much as you can. I've also learnt that dont take what others say to you to heart that makes you stop achieving and aiming for what you want. Hearing from people like you who have gone knocked down many obstacles and still be extremely successful it means heaps to me. It reflects back to me that even if I've done terribly bad in my first semester, and as long as I dont loose hope I can bounce up again. I really hope you would hold another talk soon sometime in the future so it can open my mind to what is out there in this world that i havent experienced yet. :) Jenny Talk Topic Event |

Amazing Inspirational Life-Changing Incredible
This weekend I attended the Rotary Club's youth program RYPEN in the Old Mogo Town and I was privileged enough to meet Sacha. He told us that if we wanted to email him that we could just email him at this address and I just felt I had to contact Sacha in order to express my appreciation towards what he came to talk to us about. Sachas story was truly inspirational and I was thoroughly moved by what he came to say. At lunch today, I sat opposite him at the table and was lucky enough to be in the depths of a discussion with him that made me really think about what I want to achieve in life. I attended RYPEN as just a simple opportunity to get away, but after meeting Sacha I have realised that really, it is the first step towards me fulfilling my life. I have made a conscious decision to grab any opportunity I can from now on and believe that I can achieve my dreams. For such a successful and great person, Sacha is so incredibly humble. I was extremely moved by the interest he showed in everyone else's stories, he showed us all that we are all capable of achieving our goals in life, just as Sacha has done at such a young age. I watched a fellow Ryperian ask Sacha "You're only 21?" and I thought this really summed up all of our feelings of amazement. Only 21 and already such an inspiration to so many. I'd like to thank Sacha so much, he made me realise some rather life-changing things about myself. Jessica Talk Topic Event |

This is not the first time Sacha Kejatian has been talking about his life story to me as a student but also how it's changed about who he is and his company of "Sachas" and his book "Teens Big Dreams" At the age of 20 Sacha has already appeared on television, written a book, his own brand and recognised Australian Speaker. For companies such as Microsoft, University of Western Sydney, Channel 10 etc. Sacha talked with such interest and spirit, pouring his heart out to the students of Elizabeth Macarthur High School. Telling how he was falling behind in school because of the family troubles he had to over come. You could feel the a vibe of great interest from the students as Sacha talked about how family and his young dreams of becoming a ballet dancing. The story of how he wanted to do bale dancing full time shows that you should follow your dreams and not let other people control your lives and experience life full on. With the release of his book "Teens Big Dreams" he had spent years writing and restarting wanting to perfect his book. His book TBD is about following your dreams and motivating people to fulfill their dreams feeling good about themselves at the end of the day. I find Sacha a great teacher and friend who has gone through a lot in his life as a positive person. His leadership skills and as a motivational speaker is definitely recognised at the end of the workshop and shows that anyone can be successful if you plan out to be and try your very best to reach your goals. I'm glad to be able to have Sacha come to my school and be such a great influence on my life, the workshop has definitely been worth the hours we listened to him. Josh Talk Topic Event |

It was Extremely Helpful and Interesting
I have been bullied at school for almost the entire time I have been at school. I have been to seven different schools to try and stop the bullying but eventually I just gave up and decided to take it on the chin and try to ignore it. This never worked and the bullying got worse and worse. I have had death threats against me, been pushed against the hallways and been called every disgusting name in the book. The reason I am being bullyied is because I am smart and because I am a devout christian. Sacha came to my school and talked to us about many things, but the thing stuck most in my head was the workshop about conflict resolution. Sacha gave me ways to combat bullying without resorting to violence or just standing there and taking it, for that I am extremely greatful. Justin Talk Topic Event |

Inspiring Deep Meaningful Amazing Helpful
Before the workshop with Sacha, i thought of life as a misery and it had no purpose because of the choices i had no choice but to make, but hearing Sacha's story completely changed me. Until now i have never realized that the things i do can effect people dramatically. Currently i am in year 9 and have no idea what i want to be in the future. I have always been scared to admit to my friends what i really wanted to be because i didn't want to see how they would react. My parents didn't think i had enough talent to become a cook which made me feel like i wasn't good enough. I gave up with the whole cooking thing until the workshop. Now i know that i should follow my dreams, like Sacha did. No matter what anyone says i am going to strive for my dreams to become what i have set out to be, because if i am not happy with what i am doing, i won't be able to do the best i can do. Sacha's workshop was really inspiring, i can't explain how many of the other students were touched by what he was saying, and how many of them opened up to things they wouldn't say to other people. I am so grateful that i had the opportunity to take part in the workshop. If i didn't i would still be doubting myself and i would never try to turn my dreams into reality. Thank you so much Sacha, You've really helped me to see things differently. Katrina Talk Topic Event |

i would like 2 say that it was the most insperational talk i have heard. i learnt so much about myself and others and now have a different outlook on life =) Luke Talk Topic Event |
| Inspirational, Truthful, Encouraging
The talks were great. The stories you told us were inspiring, and they really made me think about my dreams and opportunities i've missed because i was too worried about what everyone might think. Being in high school, people are so judgemental on everything you say and do - which is why most of us hold back from our opportunities and from pursuing our dreams. You said that there would be people who would regret not getting up and dancing with you and the other kids. I can honestly say, I do regret not getting up and dancing. I really enjoyed you talk - I found it encouraging, inspirational, truthful and really let me reflect on past opportunities that i did or did not take on. Thank-you so much for the talk at my school. It was definitely something I needed. Maddison Talk Topic Event |

Sacha's talk at St Pat's was both engaging and informative. Sacha was able to relate to the audience well and provide inspiration to our young minds by telling us his own life story, which in itself was very inspirational.

I could relate to most of the stories he told and even his own experiences. What got my attention the most was the fact that he included everyone and made it interesting and funny.

Your Presentation was Inspiring and Taught Me a Lot
Sachas your presentation was heaps good, you inspired me to go for my dreams no matter how ridiculous it was. Your work shop made me realise that if i have a passion to do something then i should go pursue it :) thanks for comming to our school. Renee Talk Topic Event |
| Amazing, Beautiful, Eye Opener ♥♥
When I went to the RYPEN Mogo camp, I had no idea that I would get so much out of it. Sacha has hepled me to see that I have what it takes to achieve my dream. My dream and not someone elses. Changing schools to allow my dream to blossom was from the help of my parents who aren't all that well off. I think that seeing such a gifted young man achieve his dream and live to the best of his ability really opens your eyes and makes you think, What am I going to do? What is my dream? The answer to my dream deffinaltly became clear and I would like to thank Sacha and the Sachas organistion for the time and effort they put in. Thank you, Rosannah ♥ Rosannah Talk Topic Event |

Amazing, Inspirational, Interesting, Touching
Sacha, Your talk on Friday 3rd of June at the Fast Forward Program was amazing! The story you told us was so interesting, I didn’t want the session to be over. You communicated with us like you have known us for years and you talked to us as if we were all your friends. You seem like a nice guy and someone who people can trust. You’re inspirational; you are someone who people can look up to. The way you want to keep in touch with us is like you don’t want to lose us as friends. You have already heard this from another student that I said you have inspired me more than Justin Bieber, and I mean it. I thought my dream would have been impossible, but you told me it wasn’t. I wasn’t as shy to answer questions of yours during your talk. But during lunch in the cafeteria, I became so shy and emotional that I was afraid of asking you questions. So, I got one of my closest friends to ask you my question “Is too late to go to the Olympics?” You said “No, it’s not too late. Who wants to go?” (Or something like that) and my friend didn’t say anything and I said “Me”. That’s when you started asking me questions and I finally started talking. It felt like I have known you for a long time and I could trust and easy to talk to. I am so grateful that I have met you, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be dreaming big and following it. I can't wait to read your book! Thank you so much for everything. Rose x Talk Topic Event |
| Your Presentation was Very Inspirational, had Passion and Determination
I'm not good with testimonials but i did think that your talk was amazing, proving that what ever situations your in, who ever you are, there is always hope in the future for everyone if your willing to give it all your passion and determinations to succeed. If you truly believe in something don;t be afraid to challenge yourself to reach your goals and dreams. Your experience with teenagers is incredible, you understand the situations that us teenagers face and you know what it is like to work hard at reaching your goal. Sham Talk Topic Event |

| Inspirational, Motivational, Captivating, Passionate
Listening to Sacha talk was amazing. I have been inspired by many things in my life, but few things have ignited such motivation, passion and dedication for my goals. It made me feel as though the things I wanted were within my grasp and I need only apply myself to achieve them. I am now more driven towards success, more focused than I ever was before and for that, I thank him. In short, the speech Sacha gave inspired me. And had you been there, it would have inspired you too. :) Sharon Talk Topic Event |

Eye Opening, Inspirational, Engaging, Capturing, Humorous, Ace!
Today, Sacha Krjatian visited St Patricks Marist College and conducted a workshop of his own and inspired year 10 students, and shared his truly inspiring story with us. His workshop was engaging, entertaining, yet eye opening and encouraging. By sharing his struggles in life, and his triumphs, it really inspired others who have an abundance of opportunities to grab them with both hands, and really make the most of life and follow your dreams. Sacha is an extremely talented speaker, role model, and is definitely not a victim of difficult circumstances. In terms of what I got out of the workshop, I realised I need to take more opportunities in life to find my dream, and follow it; as Sacha did with dancing regardless of what others think :) Sacha's workshop was very enjoyable, and attention grabbing as his story progressed throughout the workshop, as did his achievements. So, all in all, Sacha really should be at every school doing this workshop, as it really does impact your thinking, make you realise your opportunities, and to follow your big dreams. Also, his amazing book "Teens Big Dreams" really reinforces that idea, and is a must read! Ace work Sacha! Sophie Talk Topic Event |
| Fun, Informative, it was Interesting to Hear About Others Experiences
Sacha was the first talk we had at St. Patrick's Marist College Dundas over a three day careers conference. I got the most out of Sacha's talk because he was friendly and gave really great advice, he kept the atmosphere light and it didn't really feel like a talk with a business person, it felt like a normal conversation between friends. I learn't alot from Sacha's talk and it really drilled some ideas into my head. e.g. being Responsible for my own actions, whilst this is common knowledge Sacha's workshop showed me how easy it is to blame things in your life as an excuse to slack off in any way. Thank you Sacha Stacey Talk Topic Event |

The biggest thing I got out of your presentation was probably the inspiration that even if I'm going through a rough time I can't use it as an excuse and I just have to be determined and persevere. And also when times aren't good it doesn't mean I can't succeed. Thomasina Talk Topic Event |

Compelling Inspirational Excellent Touching
I really believe You have abilities that many others don't, the ability to share your life story, always look towards the positives in life and achieve your best in all fields. You're story is very inspirational, and to think that just a day after your HSC trauma was over, you could finally move into a proper home & continue life as normal. Even though it must have felt absolutely great to have both the HSC out of the way AND have a permanent home. All in all, you have a very high public speaking ability and look very confident when you speak to a large group. I wish you all the best in the future and hope you can share your story with many more groups to come! Thanks, Tom. Tom Talk Topic Event |

Fun, Entertaining, umm.. Inspirational
Sacha was amazing!! I laughed the whole way through his talk and I loved every bit of it (that I actually heard). His so interactive aswell and asks you questions and actually talks to YOU. Nothing that comes out of his mouth is boring. I'd LOVE to hear Sacha talk again!! His the most amazing inspirational guy and you'll be glad to meet him :) He asked us "What is success?" and I answered "Success is when you achieve what you were goaling for". It didn't make much sense but Sacha completely agreed (do you remember this??) I've always been a pretty happy, optimistic person I guess, but after listening to Sachas talk I had a better understanding of life. I felt so good afterwards and didn't want to leave camp! I reckon everyone should enjoy life as much as they can, stop stressing and take small steps :) Thanks so much for speaking to us at camp Sacha :D PEACE!! XXX Zoe Talk Topic Event |

Excellent
Sacha had given a presentation in our Falun Gong group. He has demonstrated that he has great talent and passion to what he is doing now. Although he is very young but he is very mature to distinguish what it is righteous and what it is evil. He said that we should be always love and supportive to each other. Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong, or just Dafa) is a high-level cultivation practice guided by the characteristics of the universe—Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance. He said that it is our fundamental principle that everybody has right to believe what they believe and the persecution of Falun Gong must be ended in China. We thank Sacha so much for his support and his kind heart. We need more people like Sacha in this world as we are one family and we should be always love and caring of each other. We enjoyed his presentation so much and we wish he will visit us again. Alice Wong Talk Topic Event |
| Wonderful, Mind Blasting, Unique, Uplifting, Motivating, Inspirational, Knowledgeable, Smooth, Vivacious
"Wow! That was nothing short of mind blowing" is all that I could think to myself after reaching the end of Sacha's GK Keynote Speech. Pure fluidity emanated from his mouth as he spoke (and sometimes joked) about the last three years of his life, and his inspiration for Teens Big Dreams. Revealing what it really meant to be entrepreneur, a good person and an excellent public speaker! And I think it was safe to say that Teens Big Dreams wasn't the only inspirational thing given out that day. With every sentence Sacha produced, I remember looking around the auditorium and being mesmerized by the dead silence circulating the room. The audience.. myself included, obviously shifting their focus onto what could have potentially been the best talk of the entire event. All in all, it was one of the many talks that Sacha has given, that I will never forget. Consider me uplifted, transcended and motivated! Eric Azizian Talk Topic Event |

The Speech was Full of Dynamic and Uplift Energy
Sacha made a very successful speech in our community, even though we only gave him 20 minutes. His speech was full of dynamic and uplift energy. His 50/50 business model deeply impressed me. I remembered what he said ‘Only my own success is not the best, I hope I can help all young people to follow their passions and dreams.’ I quietly agree with his notion. I know a little bit experience about Sacha experience in early years, he is a asylum seekers from war-torn Georgia. it can imagine he have a lot of suffer in his early life, and maybe his past hardship made him a good character and nature, also made him continuously challenge himself and embrace great ambition to achieve his goal. To some extent, I have had similar experiences as Sacha. I had suffered persecution in China for my belief not accepted by China government which forced me to flee from my motherland to Australia. No one like suffer in life, but suffer could reborn one's life if one face it bravely. Therefore, when I attended Sacha’s speech and read his book, I feel I have shared the similar notion with him. Sacha’s experience tells us if we are always positively confronted with any hardship in our life, we can achieve more than what we expect on ourselves. I believe that Sacha’s speech and book will benefit all of us, especially, young Australian. Guoping Deng Talk Topic Event |

A Must See Presentation; Relevant, Charismatic, Approachable, Responsive, Motivating
Sacha is a great speaker, no matter the size of the room, location or crowd; he manages to keep his audience captivated with every word. It’s not an easy task to find the perfect guest speaker to wrap up youth leadership camps and to also keep attendees focused on the idea that anything is possible. Over the past 5 years I have been involved with many youth leadership camps, I have seen quite a few “last guest speakers” – Sacha is defiantly at the top of the list. He is professional, friendly and arrives on time; no request is too difficult. The feedback Sacha got from the students (aged 14 -16) was awesome, they all loved meeting Sacha and the session defiantly finished the camp on a massive high. Dave Mahoney Talk Topic Event |
Positive, Relevant and Welcomed Sacha addressed 60 students in the 14-17 age bracket. His energy and passion was instantly appealing to those involved and the number of questions that he received showed that he and his topics resonated with them. Sacha has asked for an overall theme prior to talking but to his credit, was not rigid and let conversation flow but behind this, he brought thoughts back to the overall theme. All students are asked feedback about their time at the camp. Sacha's session rated very highly in all respects. I am aware that many students from the camp have responded most positively directly with Sacha. It was a great pleasure to have Sacha address our group with such great feedback.

Engaging, Entertaining, Thoughtful, a Story of Overcoming Challenges
Sacha was our first speaker at this event. He was very keen to find out exactly what themes I wanted to be presented to the students. Sacha demonstrated an uncanny ability to relate to the student. They were all very appreciative of his authenticity and the wise advice he imparted. The messages he conveyed were all the more relevant because Sacha is only a few years older than themselves and he was able to communicate to the group in a way that teachers and Careers Advisers cannot. I would recommend Sacha for any speaking event as he possesses the finest qualities you would hope for. David Bonora Talk Topic Event |
| Quite Enthralling & Entertaining
Sacha was most elequent in describing his personal journey to a group of students who were studying community welfare. His story about seizing every opportunity and overcoming adversities really inspired the TAFE students to think about their future and where they wanted to be. He spoke with passion & empathy and each person was affected in a positive way from hearing him speak. Jan Chisholm Talk Topic Event |
