The Speaker

Mick Colliss is a gifted story teller with a very funny story to tell. He is widely regarded as one of Australia's best keynote speakers.

As a young kid growing up, his dream was to play for Australia. But he quickly discovered desire is no substitute for ability. Then finally, at the age of 42, after successive failures at cricket, rugby league, rugby union, surf lifesaving and lawn bowls, he discovers the game of sudoku.

He can’t play that either.

But it doesn’t stop him picking himself and three mates from rugby in the first ever Australian Sudoku team and traveling to India to compete for his country at the World Sudoku Championships.

Mick’s is a laugh out loud true story about mateship, having a go and never giving up, no matter what the odds. It's ideal for corporate, sports and school functions.

Clients who have enjoyed his inspiring and very Australian yarn include Telstra, McDonalds, Pandora, Zurich Insurance, Mazda, ANZ, Optus, Engineers Australia, Hockey Australia and Aquinas College. He has spoken right across Australia as well as in Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Vietnam, Singapore and PNG.
