He’s not just in business to succeed; he’s here to make a difference. He’s a remarkable speaker, a visionary entrepreneur, and above all, a truly good human being.

Kohen and his people are personable and easy to work with. Full of ideas and creativity - Kohen is my go to guy. He also shares my passion for comedic QR codes - would highly recommend anyone work with this guy.
Hazel Savage
CEO, SYNTHO
Kohen delivered a superb keynote with practical toolkits on how people can ‘goal get’ instead of just ‘goal set’ which our business customers found incredibly valuable. Our business customers also really valued the frameworks he shared for creating balance across your personal & business life to ensure you are winning in all areas. We have no hesitation in recommending him, and will definitely work with him again.
Philip McVeigh
General Manager, Commonwealth Bank
He engaged and energized every single person in that room, everyone, from undergraduates to professional partners that have been in the industry for 30 plus years. The energy and the level of engagement, and the active thinking that you had to do during his session was phenomenal and unlike any other speaker that we had present to us on that day. Truly unlike any we have ever had!
Naomi Mitchell
National Managing Partner, Enterprise at KPMG Australia
Kohen delivered the ultimate inspirational, engaging, and uplifting keynote.
It was enthralling to ride the journey of Kohen’s markable personal and professional achievements, crafted in such a way as teachable moments on how to rise from adversity, set your own path and reach bigger than you ever dreamed possible.
From Kohen’s presentation, the team set some pretty ‘big hairy audacious goals’ that we are well on the way to fulfilling. Along the way we got an awards nomination and cracked our biggest targets ever across social media. We can not recommend Kohen highly enough! If you get the chance, you must take him as your keynote speaker.

Kohen delivered a real inspirational story of persistence articulated in a very well curated format. Our guests were very impressed not only by Kohen's journey and achievements, but also by his ability to share his vision and his tips on how to reach your life goals. We highly recommend Kohen as a keynote speaker.

The first word that comes to mind when it comes to Kohen is 'integrity'.
A great team player and public speaker - he is just someone you want to have around and can inject enthusiasm and positivity when it is needed most.

Having watched Kohen present I can safely say that his ability to engage an audience to want to understand this space is second to none - a fantastic presenter, with presence.

We were privileged to have Kohen as a key-note speaker at the CEO Summit 2024. He was able to share his journey, his vulnerabilities, and the successes that have come his way in developing Yappy. The feedback from the audience has been very positive. Not only was the message relevant, and of value to those in attendance, it was entertaining. Kohen's thoughts were honest and open. We made the right choice in approaching Kohen to be part of the CEO Summit.

We needed a game changer, some fresh thinking, and Kohen definitely provided this. His insights into being determinedly goals focus, and a “why not me?” attitude was brilliant.
He lives by what he says and really pushed our boundaries to be our best – can’t wait to see him again.
Tony Hume
CEO, Solaris Cancer Care
Kohen's talk left a lasting impact on me.
It made me realize how my focus had been on shorter achievable goals rather than grand long-term opportunities simply because of self-doubt. One of my favourite quotes he shared is "People overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in 10".
Sarah Josey
Partner/Director, KPMG Enterprise
Kohen is what they call the true embodiment of resilience and self-belief. He doesn’t take no for an answer, and I love that about him.
He has a powerful story, a believable story, and something you will be able to connect with and resonate with. Him overcoming his feelings and discovering his untapped potential - it’s nothing short of inspiring.
Ricky Hunley
Two-Time Superbowl Player, NFL & College Football Coach and Hall of Fame, Coach, University of Arizona
His inspiring stories led me to invite him as the closing speaker at our State conference for over 450 aged care professionals, where his ability to connect with the audience and bring hope to a changing sector left everyone inspired. I highly recommend Kohen as a keynote speaker."

We are so proud of Kohen's achievements at the School of Business and Law, it is an absolute delight to have him as an alumnus.
Kohen has contributed on so many fronts, as an award winning alumni; a donor to our student prize event over many years supporting our deserving students; and also as a valuable member of the School Advisory Board for many years.
He always brings fresh ideas and enthusiasm into any discussion and is such a wonderful supporter of the School on so many fronts. Thanks Kohen for your contributions over so many years!

Kohen is a great storyteller and recounts his life’s journey so far in a way which has his audience intrigued, wanting to hear more. His story is fascinating, his humility and vulnerability disarming.
I have seen Kohen present on large and small stages, to audiences of senior industry leaders, young professionals and community volunteers. In each case Kohen has pitched his presentation to be engaging and relevant to his listeners. I love Kohen’s motto that you can do a lot with a little, you just need to have initiative and 60 seconds of courage.
