TED TALK: THE POWER OF ONE
SPEAKER RECOMMENDATIONS
“I highly recommend Nathan Spiteri as a speaker for any event focused on resilience, healing, and societal change. Drawing from his own powerful journey to overcome the shame and pain of child sexual abuse, Nathan inspires and educates audiences worldwide. His dynamic presence captivates from the moment he begins, weaving together raw honesty, deep vulnerability, and a message of hope that leaves no one untouched. Nathan has a profound impact on those who are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to hear him speak.”
“Child abuse is a scourge on our society; a scourge that Nathan Spiteri has had the misfortune to experience as a victim firsthand. In his amazing book, Toy Cars, he describes his ordeal and its aftermath during his life. Importantly, he lives by the maxim that “hurt people hurt people, but healed people help people.”
Nathan is a compelling, honest and insightful speaker who pulls no punches when talking about his experiences and the impact they have had. However he goes the extra mile to show people that recovery is possible and inspires his audiences to help others, no matter what their personal circumstances. I have seen Nathan talk a number of times and learn something new each time - I would recommend him to audiences large and small (but bring tissues!). ”
“Nathan Spiteri was our Journeys speaker for the conference, ‘Be The Change,’ in Mumbai, India. The topic for the year was ‘Inclusion of Gender and Sexual Diversity,’ in 2021. He was eloquent, real and captured the audience through his personal, heartfelt journey, yet putting forth very powerful messages to educators, parents and professionals who were part of the audience. The take always were about awareness, preparedness, prevention and most importantly forgiving one’s self and letting go so that one may evolve into the best versions of themselves.
Nathan was remarkable to work with. He was always available, prompt, friendly and professional at the same time. We can’t wait to have him back to enthrall us once again. ”
“In a world of speakers who inspire, there are those rare few who transform. Nathan Spiteri stands among them. There are so many remarkable things to say about his resilience. Through raw authenticity and unwavering courage, Nathan transforms pain into purpose. His journey from surviving childhood sexual abuse to becoming a beacon of hope has touched thousands worldwide.
By sharing his story with startling honesty, Nathan dismantles the barriers of shame and silence that keep trauma survivors imprisoned. His voice resonates beyond his assault, its mere inspiration - it ignites a movement, compelling audiences to confront their own shadows and embrace their power to heal.
When Nathan speaks, he doesn’t just share a story; he catalyzes a profound shift in how we view resilience, recovery, and the human capacity for transformation.
It is always a pleasure to have him grace our stage.”
