Testimonials
-
Bernard excels at working with large groups of leaders. Bernard spoke at a recent conference to two groups and he exceeded in meeting the unique content needs of each group. Despite the size of the audience and space in which we were working, Bernard achieved a connection with the groups and delivered in a way that made all feel like it was a bespoke session for them.
Janelle Pyne (Align Technology Director, Enterprise Accounts and Clinical, ANZ)

We invited Bernard to speak about, “How to Discuss the Undiscussable”, and not only was he so insightful but also engaging and held the audience's attention throughout. I valued Bernard’s genuine passion and personal experience with the subject. His personal stories and examples were so relatable and deeply inspiring. His ability to connect with the group and provide a variety of practical tools, has enabled us to have more effective courageous conversations.
Paula Borba (Learning & Development Specialist - BGL)

Bernard has both an engaging and challenging facilitating style which encourages thinking and discussion. Our leaders are bright smart people and I knew they needed someone who had a strong presence, whose material was thought provoking and up-to-date and who could move our leaders forward on their leadership journey…
— Linda Smith (Manager – People & Culture, ISPT)
-
It was an eye-opening experience and Bernard provided a safe environment where judgement is suspended, and open and frank discussion could take place. It was a very humbling experience and Bernard is a very courageous person who has stretched and challenged all of us to go places where we could not have imagined let alone gotten there on our own...

A leadership program that looks at leading through deeper self-knowledge; how this informs how you lead, its impact on the people you lead.
Suzanne Shepherd (Group Executive – Human Resources, McMillan Shakespeare Group)
-
The greatest and unique aspect that Bernard bought to the program – that I have rarely seen in any other facilitator – is his ability to enable people to think, feel and speak freely without fear of repercussion.”
— Sean Dempsey (CEO - Plan Partners)
