A fantastic opportunity to get together with other leaders and work on my leadership skills. Bruce really gets you thinking but also makes sure you have a plan to put in place key actions. A great learning experience for any leader.

I read 50+ business books a year and in my humble opinion this is one of the best. Right up there with Dale Carnegie and Jim Collins. I am going to buy a copy for each of my SLT and we will use the framework as a catalyst for our strategy planning and execution in 2019

Bruce Cotterill has walked the walk and he has now very ably talked the talk. This book clearly identifies that excellence in business is a journey and not a destination. He has cleverly guided the reader down the leadership highway regardless of where they are commencing their trip. Bruce has considerable experience across a broad range of platforms and I found his ideas, examples and guidance insightful and, most importantly, practical. This book is a compelling read and there is something valuable in here for everyone, no matter what your experience or background may be. I am confident that it will provide added clarity and focus to your planning and help you with your leadership journey no matter how far down that road you are.

Thoroughly enjoyable and refreshingly interesting and implementable.

I really enjoyed your talk. It was informative and entertaining. The beginning was fantastic when you started talking right next to me, and engaged the whole room by being in the audience and walking amongst us.  I was in Real Estate for 8 years and often saw speakers and trainers, but none as engaging as you.  Thanks again for your inspirational talk.

As I mentioned to you when we spoke at conference, I found you to be very inspirational. I have implemented many of your principles back in my store and had great success. Every staff member is working towards the same goal, and we have a quick meeting every morning to reinstate the day’s objectives. As managers we know that simplicity is the key to running an effective business but we tend to over complicate things and end up getting confused about our focus, not to mention staff getting confused as well. Listening to you speak, it made me remember why keeping it simple is so important and reinstating that daily with your principles has been an enormous help to me since conference.

Working with Lisa helped us identify opportunities, and things our team were willing and able to develop and contribute to the business. Without her contribution we would have no idea these opportunities existed. As an added bonus even the most sceptical of the staff valued and enjoyed the process. Her process and outcome suggestions also helped dissolve hierarchies so management could be honest that they don’t have all the answers, that the staff input is vital and appreciated, and that collaboratively the business can achieve so much more.

Bruce has a broad experience in leadership and shares his insights, tools and approaches through great story telling. Keeping leadership simple and focusing on what you want to achieve through great communication with your teams is the focus of the masterclass, with lots of practical ways to action changes to enhance your current leadership approach. Great investment in your future as a leader!

Thank you so much for the insightful, provocative and engaging presentations to The CEO Institute in New Zealand. The powerful strategic benefits of well crafted corporate culture that is deliberately and consistently deployed are not well understood or are under-estimated. Lisa highlighted these benefits and the missed opportunities that a strategically aligned and empowering culture can deliver to those companies. She presented compelling examples of where this has occurred successfully. Her presentation to our syndicate members in a small group session was challenging and thought provoking. I strongly recommend any CEO taking the time to sit down and have a good conversation with Lisa. She will challenge your understanding of how culture and strategy relate to each other and the very real opportunities for growth and strategic development that exist. It was no surprise that her session was very highly rated by our syndicate members.
