Testimonials

 

I was fortunate to hear Rohan Murphy WOW over 500 high school students. He spoke at the Believe Symposium where the overall message was to help these students believe in themselves.

 

The response to his presentation was fantastic but we rarely get to see the subtle impact that a message might have on an individual. About three weeks later we were meeting in Starbucks when an attorney approached our table, reached out his hand to Rohan to thank him for the impact his presentation had on his daughter. Rohan is an inspiration sending a wonderful message to anyone who hears or meets him

I had the great pleasure of hearing Rohan Murphy speak in front of a large audience recently. From the moment he hit the stage he had the audience eating out of his hand and kept us captivated the whole time. He is personable, articulate, funny and most importantly, an inspiration to all. His message that “you can do anything” truly hit home coming from a young man lost both his legs at the age of four who went on to become an accomplished high school and college wrestler. As a professional speaker myself I can honestly say that you MUST hear Rohan’s message. It will inspire you to realize that you, too, can do anything you set your mind to!

As a teacher with 30 years of experience I have attended a lot of student assemblies that promised to be life-changing and inspiring. Rohan Murphy did just that when he came to my middle school this past Nov. To have 650 students listen so intently for over a hour, showed how engaging he was. With heart, humor, and humility he shared his story in a way that touched so many of my students. Many children often feel powerless, but Rohan made them all feel empowered that day. His ability to connect with the students and engage them showed a natural ability to teach. His presentation was the best we have ever had here. Students and staff alike said that they were moved in a way that they had not felt in a long time. The standing ovation of the entire student body and staff said it all!!
