“Western Victorian Primary Health Network was honoured to have Paul as the keynote speaker at our Annual Primary Care Conference 2025. His story captivated more than 250 primary health care professionals, leaving the entire room in awe.

Paul delivered a keynote that was heartfelt, courageous, and profoundly moving—so powerful that you could hear a pin drop as everyone listened in silence.

We cannot recommend Paul highly enough; his ability to inspire and connect with an audience is truly exceptional.”

Paul delivered a captivating and powerful message at TEDxHobart 2024. He uses his story and experience to capture the audience and tugs at the heartstrings through storytelling and the visual imagery his presentations bring.

There is a lot of vulnerability involved in the message Paul shares and it's important for people to hear.

Paul was awesome to work with and brought strong enthusiasm and a strong work ethic to the team.

I'd highly recommend Paul as a speaker for events or for teams to engage with his workshops.

Paul is an extraordinary speaker, who ever so gently draws his audience along on his journey. He has an incredible story to tell and does it with great grace, humour, and authenticity that has guests hanging in his every – and very well-chosen – word. Guaranteed to inspire and entertain.

Paul Pritchard’s story of human determination and survival is an exceptional one .  Not only is he an award-winning writer, he is truly a remarkable individual who exudes warmth, kindness, and laughter wherever he goes.  Our audience was mesmerized by Paul’s interview here in Banff and it was one of the best events we’ve hosted throughout our 41 year history as one of the most prestigious mountain festivals in the world. We would welcome Paul back to our stage any time. 

Paul’s presentation was the perfect way to end our day of technical and industry-related sessions. He had a way or reminding us what is really important and told his inspirational story in a way that was empowering for the audience. Paul is unassuming, kind and measured in the way he engages the room, which was uplifted by the experience.

I would highly recommend inviting Paul to share his amazing experiences.

in November 2013 we invited Mr. Paul Pritchard in Italy, Bergamo, to deliver a lecture in our season Il Grande Sentiero (The Great Path). We were sure that the meeting with public was going to be very interesting. What happened went far beyond our best expectations. Paul arrived in Italy after the long flight he had to do and, with no rest, in the morning he was taken in front of an audience in a rehabilitation center, to tell his story. In the evening he presented on stage in the main Auditorium. He remained in Italy for four days and gave two more lectures in different cities: Varese and Poschiavo. Everywhere he was welcomed and appreciate: his clever speech, his great humanity, the interesting life, before and after the Totem Pole accident, moved the audience in all the meetings. Great moments in our season, everybody here will remember Paul very well.

“Gob-smacking”

We had Paul present over dinner to our team. He had the whole room enthralled and the group has not stopped talking about it since. Truly inspirational stuff but done in a wonderfully accessible, human way. I can’t think I’ve seen a better corporate speaker.

Thank you so much Paul, your presentation was amazing and I have had great feedback from many of the attendees.
