"Emma had us (me) laughing one moment and trying to hold back the tears the next...She is inspiring on so many levels.”

Genevieve Cooper | Manager/St. Vincent's at Home & Domiciliary TherapyBN, MClin Nurse, Cert Prom Cont, Grad Dip Human Rel Ed, RN, RM

About05

"Emmas honest, raw and often humorous depiction of her journey was both engaging and compelling, and challenged us all to re evaluate our attitudes and practices as allied health practitioners. She reminded us to see the patient as a real person, to empathise with their loss of roles and lifestyle, whilst simultaneously giving hope to patient and working with them to regain their valued roles in some form. She also reminded us of the importance of partnering with patients in achieving their goals , and the need to have empathy and foster relationship between patient and therapist. I would recommend this presentation to all health professionals as it certainly challenged and inspired me to strive towards making client centred practice the most important aspect of my practice, as sadly this is often overlooked and forgotten.".

"... you inspired everyone with your determination and single mindedness to overcome adversity. It was very clear that you had put a great deal of work into tailoring your presentation for our group and every one I spoke to felt they had been on the journey with youWe as a collective group are further exploring ways that we can call on you to further promote awareness of, living with and working with people/children with a disability. You truly inspired everyone in the room and we look forward to working with you again in the future".

About

"As a professional going out into the community it is vital to remain client centred, but often this premise can get lost along the way. Emma Gee's message is effective in refocusing the perspective and the need to advocate for the client and their needs. I found Emma's talk to be a valuable insight into the life and perspective of the client. It is a message that I hope as a professional, I never forget".

Andrea Schwaggerman (3rd year) , Occupational therapy student

"Emma Gees presentation was both inspiring and highly motivational. She brings life her own experience which provides insight and empathy for the audience which can be best summed up in the following quote

Never accept as fact that you can't make it or you can't do something. If you are prepared and keep the faith, the universe was designed for your success!!!"

For those who want to be inspired and motivated to overcome the obstacles that life can place in front of us then I recommend Emma Gee for spreading the word of hope and determination "

"...we were totally taken by her presentation, her life story, the hardships, the humour, the sound effects, use of props, the powerpoint, her professionalism and her fantastic nature. Timeframe was perfect also.

It will likely be one of the most awe inspiring and memorable talks that certainly I and many of our staff have attended in our lifetime".

Emma Gee has presented at Nabenet as a guest speaker as part of our New Employer Services program and also as part of our professional development program for staff. Emma's inspirational presentation defines resilience in the face of adversity and her engaging style and sense of humour appeal to all audiences.

"Never give up in life..."

"It was a very empowering presentation, I enjoyed listening to her story, there was laughter, and I could feel the pain but I can also see what a strong and powerful lady Emma is. Its amazing it brought back so many memories of when I was a carer, I actually witnessed doors being left open while people are showering, people staring at my clients because they are in wheel chairs, etc.

Emmas presentation shows that you should never give up in life, doesnt matter what you are facing there is always a positive".

Participants overwhelmingly agreed that Emma Gee was the most popular presenter at the DHS Grampians and Barwon South-West ReOrient Express Conference, and they could have had much more of her.

Emma is a great story teller with excellent wry, paradoxical and sometimes blunt photographs to support her presentation...a highly recommended keynote speaker'

Here is what people are saying about Emma:

Blank01

From the perspective of an event organiser I found Emma to be well organised, clear in her requirements and punctual. While she is at an event she gives fully of her time and energy, engaging with the audience during question time and afterwards as individuals approach her.She is adaptable and as I have heard her speak at two very different events (ASM and Safety Register) I can verify that she can apply her story and experiences to the audience and the theme of the day.She always responds to my phone calls or emails in a timely manner, paying attention to detail and listening to my requirements. She is a pleasure to work with.From listeners to Emmas presentation the following comments have been heard.she was an inspiration to meher talk was so interesting and sincerealso comments conveying the message that she had put a lot of work and thought in to her presentation and she was friendly and approachable.So far I have registered 2 new disabled clients onto the Safety Register since the forum, both of whom said that after hearing Emma they thought they should just take up the opportunity for something a bit extra even though they didnt absolutely need it.

"Emma Gees presentation was dynamic, insightful and truly honest about her journey following a major stroke which changed her life dramatically. This was both from an individual and health professional (occupational therapist) perspective. Her delivery was poignant, humorous and most engaging, allowing Emma to lead her audience through the stages, challenges and experiences she met along the way.

The detail of how it feels to be a patient and what would have been most useful and should have been considered in her journey, certainly made us re-think our approach to delivering therapy and how to empower individuals so they are in control of their own recovery. Her advocacy for client-centred practice was excellent. In addition, the daily effort and challenges she and her family faced in her recovery were explored and tips given as what would have made a difference to the process. Most enlightening was her positive attitude and realistic approach to achieving independence. We were given an insight into the stages Emma went through as she re-established her new life and what these changes meant to her.

The occupational therapy staff were incredibly appreciative, motivated and inspired by Emmas session. It certainly made us mindful of how we practice and relate to our patients and what is most important to them both from a personal and professional perspective"
