"Naomi has spent considerable time and effort helping entrepreneurs in Sydney and worldwide through her contribution as President of the Entrepreneurs Organisation in Sydney. The natural marketing talents, inimitable enthusiasm, and business acumen that have made her so successful with RedBalloon, she freely shares with myself and other young entrepreneurs."

"I place Naomi among the top 5% of all growth company entrepreneurs I've had the pleasure of educating."

"Naomi Simson is an inspiration both as an entrepreneur and a woman in business. She is one of the very few women in Australian to build such a large company. She has done this while remaining true to her value system. Visiting her office and seeing her staff - and her dog with a red balloon on its collar - is always refreshing. Although Naomi is running a $20 million business and a successful family, she always has time to share the secrets of success with others from her blogs on SmartCompany, to mentoring and speaking. In fact I have heard Naomi speak on many occasions and she is charming, articulate and riveting."

As a well known and respected, high profile business person, Naomi helped us secure a great audience. She created considerable interest with RedBalloon and other examples, but also showed a deep knowledge of business, people and organisational issues that people at management level could relate and learn from. I have no hesitation in recommending Naomi as a speaker, in a sea of potential presenters, she is the best there is.

Naomi, thanks again for the fantastic presentation you gave at our ‘Talent xchange conference’ last week. We have had a stack of unsolicited feedback from delegates who attended the event, things like: ‘Naomi was amazing, I am going to implement changes immediately’, ‘That was great, we will definitely be rethinking our engagement strategy’. Thank you for making our conference a big hit!

"Naomi will set your company on fire."

"Naomi's goal of changing gifting in Australia and NZ is intriguing and makes you want to go along for the ride."
