Nathan was great on the day – a lovely guy who mingled with his playing partners and other sponsors before, during and after his talk. Having Nathan certainly added to the event.
Melville Glades Golf Club
Nathan was a pleasure to work with! He was awesome with the kids who attended the event, getting in the water and playing games with them for the duration of the carnival! We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for an athlete who works and engages well with kids.

It was a great day, Nathan was brilliant and fit in perfectly to what we were trying to do. His experiences and chat was inspirational and his attitude toward the club mentality was something that i think more than a few of our members took away with a strong connection!

PWC Infrastructure and Urban Renewal
We recently had the pleasure of hearing from Nathan Charles who was invited to speak virtually for our global employee audience to support the launch of our final corporate value 'We are Bold'. Nathan was an absolute inspiration to us all. He spoke about about determination, resilience and the importance of setting the right goals. His messages were 100% on point for the session we had planned. This and his ability to authentically engage our international audience with humour and heart, made him the perfect choices for our event. The feedback we had from our audience was incredible.
