What audiences are saying

It was lovely to meet you and be part of your powerful and meaningful presentation on Thursday evening. Your practical approach to show how we can maintain our brain’s ability at any age certainly resounded with our members. We have had such wonderful feedback of how your presentation inspired our members and has encouraged them to approach their ageing with a more positive outlook. We at the Mark Moran Group greatly appreciate and thank you for giving of your very valuable time and making the evening so informative and engaging.

Helena arrived bright and bubbly, full of beans and an absolute delight for the Residents of The Grange at Berry. Her presentation was full of humour and informative information that was easy for the residents to understand. She had everyone in the room involved with her inclusive antics which were full of warmth and laughter.

The response from the residents of the village were “Dr Helena was exceptional and inspiring and thoroughly enjoyed her presentation” which was obvious with the purchase of so many of her books. We would highly recommend Helena as a presenter for any industry.

Combining humour with practical advice and tips for health and wellbeing, Helena captivated a thousand-strong audience of mine workers. Highly recommend.

Great presentation and motivational talk. Loved it and can't wait to read the book.

The College and greater local community were thoroughly entertained by the vibrancy and engaging nature of this presentation delivered by Dr and highly acclaimed Author of three books Helena Popovic. It was a privilege to be part of the audience who received vital and practical tips on how we can all be empowered to care for and promote the health and longevity of one of our most vital organs; our brain!

The hour-long presentation was filled with a great balance of brain neuroscience and evidence-based medical information, personal anecdotes, audience participation, humour, both affirming and challenging information regarding individual lifestyle choices, new scientific developments about the nature of the brain and most importantly, HOPE that we CAN all influence the future health and capacity of our brain functioning. The evening culminated with a group sing-a-long Karaoke-style to a remixed Tina Turner Classic. It was Gold!

Testament to the impact that this talk had on participants was the crowd that remained one hour post presentation to purchase books, engage in book signings, have further conversations and take photographs with the author.

Gratitude goes out to all that attended. It would be wonderful to have Helena back to visit with our community some time in the future.

Dr Helena Popovic recently presented at our Women in Law and Business Luncheon in Sydney. She had the 110 women in the audience captivated. Her presentation was engaging and gave the audience practical ideas on what they can do to boost their brain power. The suggestions she made were implementable and were backed up by science. We had great feedback from the people in the room.

Working with Dr Helena and her EA Ruth was an absolute pleasure. They outlined a range of topics that we could cover, and we worked together to identify the topics that would match the theme of the event, which was 'Health from the inside out, and from the outside in.' The relationship was easy from the beginning and ended with a group of women who thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and came away having learnt something that they can use to boost their brain.

Dr Helena Popovic was incredible, practical advice and information that I took home and implemented immediately, and it was delivered with a great sense of humour.

This session was perfect timing for me on a personal and business level. I left this session feeling positive, enlightened and enthusiastic about the future. I found Helena refreshing and inspiring!

Some great learnings into looking after your greatest asset and putting that into perspective. Have made some immediate adjustments accordingly.

Helena was just brilliant and certainly insightful.

Helena told us what we do not want to know but Need to!!!!

Liked Helena with all the aspects of training your brain when aging.

"It was the best talk I have ever attended, not just the subject, but the way it was presented - so humorous, covered other important health topics and very informative."

"Dr Helena Popovic was brilliant! I learnt so much about dementia prevention, I thoroughly enjoyed it."

"Dr Helena Popovic was a sensation! She made a subject so many of us found a mystery in the past, to a night of entertainment and fun and plenty of knowledge and clarity. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, thank you!"

"One of the most informative, and enjoyable talks I have ever attended. A wonderful Dr and speaker with many take home messages. Thank you"

Helena Popovic was an enthusiastic and dynamic speaker with a wealth of knowledge and expertise. She was happy to share a wealth of tips and information on how to stay healthy longer and stave off your chances of developing dementia.

Dr. Helena Popovic infused the perfect energy into our day's close. Her presentation was not only enjoyable and energising but also packed with invaluable research, shedding light on how our dietary habits intersect with dementia and, importantly, how we can mitigate its onset. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Helena Popovic for an exceptional session.

We had the privilege of having Dr. Helena Popovic speak at our staff conference about how to transform stress into success. Her ability to blend scientific insights, expert knowledge, and personal anecdotes created a highly engaging, informative, and motivating session. During her presentation, she shared practical strategies on how to overcome and manage stress. Her wisdom resonated deeply with our team, leaving us motivated and empowered. I appreciated her effort to understand our context leading up to the event, which made her message even more relevant. I would recommend her to any audience seeking inspiration, practical advice, and a fresh perspective on health and well-being.

Loved Helena's presentation. It was inspirational! Started reading Can Adventure Prevent Dementia? as soon as I arrived home.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Dr Helena on behalf of the team at Hornsby Library for such a wonderful and engaging talk last night. We have had great feedback from our audience – so many people were interested and motivated by Dr Helena’s presentation.

On behalf of the ANZCVS Vet Science Week team please extend our thanks to Dr Popovic for appearing as our keynote speaker – it was such a pleasure to work with her and the session was really well-received by delegates.

Massive THANK YOU once again for your valuable time and insights at the National Dementia Conference 2023. It was indeed an honour to have you! Your presentation was very well received. It was both informative and engaging, and your willingness to share your experiences and knowledge with the audience was greatly appreciated. I hope we have the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the incredible presentation you gave. Your wealth of knowledge and expertise was truly impressive, and your delivery was nothing short of inspiring. I have received such positive feedback from staff members and I think it was the mid-year motivation that many needed. Once again, thank you so much for your time and effort. It was an absolute pleasure to have you. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.

Dr Helena Popovic joined our Positive Schools Australian conference series in 2022, presenting a meaningful and engaging keynote presentation to over 2000 people across four states. Helena then revisited us online in February 2023 to take to the virtual stage and present to our rural, remote and international audience. Helena presents a wealth of practical information to support sustainable health behaviour and wellbeing. Her presentations are not only incredibly informative, they are also entertaining and engaging every step of the way. It was a delight to have Helena as part of our team and incredibly valuable for our audience. I recommend her highly as a great presenter with in-depth knowledge of health, motivation and human behaviour.

Helena is an inspiring speaker who used a mix of scientific information, expert knowledge and personal anecdotes to present a highly engaging, informative and motivating session to our school staff. I highly recommend her as a presenter and appreciated her effort to get to know our context leading into the event.

I wanted to pass on my sincere thanks, and the thanks of club members, for presenting valuable information on the brains' function and what we can do, as individuals, to improve and repair our brains' operation. Your presentation was funny, engaging, helpful, supportive, clever, thoughtful, timely, non-threatening, light hearted, interesting, positive, worthy, enthusiastic, educational, inspirational, emotional, insightful and well done. Feedback from members has been overwhelmingly positive. Some long term Probus members are saying the best presentation yet!

We were delighted to have Dr Helena present at a special event for Tweed Seniors Festival 2022. Dr Helena's warm, engaging and witty style of presenting kept everyone captivated throughout the session. Her well researched, practical advice and tips on how to keep our brains healthy is such valuable information. Our audience was informed, challenged and entertained by Dr Helena's fun and refreshing approach to healthy ageing. As a leading authority on brain health, everyone can benefit from hearing Dr Helena or reading one of her books. Highly recommended! Thank you Dr Helena.

Lovely workshop thank you for your sense of humour and humility.

“This was one of the best CPA webinars I've attended. Whoever decided to get Dr Helena on to give this seminar to CPAs deserves a reward. Dr Helena was amazing, authentic, captivating, real, lively and gave a good reminder to everyone about the importance of looking after one's body and mental health. Without a healthy brain, we lose the ability to live. Such great meaning to our busy workloads to remember that we also need to take a break and work on our own body. Please get Dr Helena back!” “An excellent session that was very informative helped by the presenter being entertaining and passionate about her subject.” “I thoroughly enjoyed this session. I have already watched it twice and will watch it again. Presenter is such a vibrant and engaging speaker. All very interesting. There were 20 great tips to take on board for everyone no matter what their age. I'm inspired by Dr Popovic and intend to buy her book.” “This was one of the best, if not the best, CPD activity I have attended in over 30 years of membership. Her presentation was excellent and delivered in a manner that was very effective. The content was very helpful. Thank You!!!”

We can’t thank Helena enough for her inspiring, educating and entertaining talk (she did not need audio visual as we were captivated by her energy and enthusiasm). So many Probus members have approached me to say she is our best speaker ever and they gained so much from her presentation. I know I did too. I would love to hear her speak again as I am sure she has lots more to tell us. I am currently reading the first of her two books which she had for sale. Please convey our heartfelt thanks to Helena as she has had quite an impact on all of us.

Dr Helena Popovic’s presentation “Boost your Brain” to our valued clients was entertaining, high energy, thought provoking and educational. The feedback from our guests was amazing and everyone thoroughly enjoyed listening and engaging with Dr Helena.

Helena Popovic is a superstar performer the moment she hits the stage. Intellect, humour, timing, content, delivery and a presenter not just with props – but brain power par excellence to enchant the most seasoned conference delegate. People's lives change after listening to Helena.

Hi Helena

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your seminar on Saturday afternoon. You’re a very entertaining speaker and have outstanding content to offer. 

Thank you for your great presentation the other night.

Whilst we have many high quality speakers who know how to present with knowledge and enthusiasm, it is rare that we have someone who takes it to the level that you did. Extremely well done!

Thank you for talking to us yesterday. I certainly came away  feeling inspired and I know that I was not alone.

I loved Helena's presentation - the overwhelming feedback has been very positive. Our Melbourne office have started doing team HIITs, so they have clearly been inspired. I took away a bunch of notes and am still mulling over many of the points raised.

Helena was extremely professional and I found her both entertaining and informative. It was delightful to be able to chat with her after her presentation.

Everyone enjoyed the workshop and have taken away various advice for personal growth and well-being, on top of some great trainer tricks we will use with our customers to keep them moving, inspired, and engaged.

On behalf of all the members of the Probus Club of Surfers Paradise, I wish to thank you so very much for giving us your valuable time on the 4th April 2017. 

I cannot tell you just how much we enjoyed your presentation and, I must say, including your dear father in your speech, was a really great idea as half of the members, at least, would be around his age … and you gave us all some wonderful advice in all manners of our daily lives. 

Several of the members have commented, and I include myself, that we left the meeting happier and full of determination, than we have for a long time. I was pleased to see that your books were being snapped up, too. I shall take advantage of my friendly members and ask to borrow them!!

Once again, you wonderful girl, our heartfelt thanks for your valuable advice. And I wish you good health and best wishes,

It was a great experience having you present at the Brisbane GPCE. All the delegates rated your session as excellent, stimulating and highly relevant. I look forward to working together again in the future.

Thank you so much for your excellent presentation at the AHISA Conference. From all reports it was very well received. I have been reading your book In Search of my Father and finding your journey with him fascinating. I admire your tenacity in dealing with the difficulties associated with his illness, loss and age, plus being very set in his ways. I am learning lots!

Thank you once again for time and energy. It’s certainly inspiring.

Thank you for your recent wonderful presentation at the 11th Conference of the Australian College of Nurse Practitioners. It was lovely to meet you and we hope to work with you again in the future.

Dear Helena

Thank you for playing a major role in making our Annual FPA Professionals congress a resounding success in Perth this year. Your presentations on boosting brain function and turning stress into success were very well received by all our members. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Thank you Helena! I really enjoyed your contribution to our ACS conference last week - it was inspiring and educational at the same time. I haven't had a chance to start your book but I am looking forward to a quiet, cold and wet weekend to curl up on the couch.

Thanks again for MCing our annual conference.

Well Helena, didn’t you wow them today. We all loved you. Thank you for the presentation, it was fantastic. I am now the hero of Speaker Organisers!

My Thanks to you, it was great entertainment, but it also hit home to most of us.

I know it  was aimed at me, that’s why I bought your book!

Love to you from all of us Probians.

Hi Helena

It was absolutely lovely having you here and we’ve had fabulous feedback. The group really enjoyed your presentation. Thank you for imparting your knowledge with so much enthusiasm. On behalf of U3A, thank you for coming to Timaru.

The presentation was fabulous! Loved the visuals. Didn’t want it to end.

I am writing to thank Dr Helena for her work! This world needs more like her talking about neuroplasticity and the power of the brain and us as individuals! Brain re-wiring has CHANGED my life!

Dear Doctor Popovic,

I am a big fan. I heard you speak on dementia and you are a very inspiring teacher! You are also brilliant in your ability to see what others have missed. Your knowledge of the brain has broken new ground and has helped so many people. I have put into practice what I have learned from you. My nursing home Residents are happier and living a fuller life, because of you. Thank you! What you have done for your father has been amazing! 

I know you can now help me understand what I need to learn to be in charge of my own body, in order to attain good health. I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager. I can't wait to hear your advice. Congratulations on finishing your new book!

I invited Helena Popovic to speak at the recent Sphinxx Ascend Development Day series and received fantastic feedback from the audience on her presentation. Helena wowed participants with her knowledge of physiological wellbeing, peak performance and brain plasticity… and if you’re scratching your head at these terms, don’t worry you will be enlightened by Helena’s presentation. She’s a funny, intelligent and polished speaker and I recommend her to any audience that seeks to perform at its best.

Helena’s presentation was incredibly inspiring. Her approach ‘Let Healing Happen’ was full of wit, empathy, energy, and hope. She is an engaging speaker and I would highly recommend her.

Dr Helena Popovic was our guest speaker at the SHE Business end of year 2011 event, Fearlessly Creating. She received a standing ovation! She is an enthusiastic, energetic, generous and knowledgeable speaker, and had her audience taking notes and taking action. Helena left the audience absolutely inspired.

Thank you for your engaging presentation, practical tips and excellent strategies for maximizing our brain power. You make the science of neuroplasticity both accessible and relevant for business audiences. Below are comments that participants wrote about you. Absolutely outstanding. Very happy I came. Very engaging. Great session. Great speaker! Excellent speaker! Excellent presentation. Very informative and with humour. Kept me interested throughout.

Just a note to thank you most sincerely for presenting a Keynote Address at the 2014 LGPro Aged and Disability Services Seminar on Friday 24th October 2014. We received very positive feedback about the great value our audience received from the insights you offered in regard to brain plasticity and your personal experiences as your father’s carer. We are very appreciative of your time and commitment to ensuring the seminar was a valuable experience for all participants.

Our sincere thanks for your 54(!!) inspiring and highly relevant talks to Ryman residents throughout New Zealand over the last 12 months. You have put so much energy and enthusiasm into this series, we have been very blessed to have you alongside the Neurological Foundation. With warm regards,

Dr Popovic spoke at our recent Staff Conference, Innovate for Excellence, hosting over 400 staff working in the aged care sector. Her presentations were energetic, engaging and resonated with our staff. We continue to receive positive feedback from staff on how they have put into practice her suggestions particularly on how to Boost your Brain. Her stories on the success she has had in supporting her father who is living with dementia were amazing! The information provided has stimulated conversations on how we can use this knowledge across our business. She is by far one of the most inspiring speakers we have ever had!

I want to thank you for being such an intelligent, sensitive and compassionately funny facilitator at the conference. I loved the stories of your father that you shared – he is blessed to have you as his daughter. I intend to order your book when I get home – I can fit nothing more in my suitcases at present. Thanks for your generosity of spirit,

The feedback from attendees at the 5th Global Speakers Summit has been outstanding. So, one more time, thank you immensely for doing a superb job. The Summit was titled: Revolutions, Upheavals, Choices and I am pleased to say that you lived up to the title and caused many to think and “think again”. From my perspective your session added to the breadth and depth of topics required to live up to the marketing promise. Sincere best wishes for much continued success. I also wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season.

Dear Helena, I just want to thank you for your wonderful talk/performance at our Gala Dinner last Friday night. The feedback was sensational – everyone loved it. It was relevant, interesting, inspiring and funny! I know that our executive team and board members enjoyed it, too. So, thanks so much and I hope to see you again.
