As a business owner sometimes you need to step back and look at how far you have come, where you are now and plan on how far you want to go. In Bruce’s presentation he took us on that journey. He not only inspired with his own stories of business transformation but also shared resources and tools that could be used in any business. Add to that him being an entertaining presenter made it an hour well spent.

The day was delivered in a very structured manner, easy to follow. Clear and straight forward dialogue.

This book challenges the old adage  “leaders are born not made”. Calling on his wide CEO experience Bruce provides an insightful and practical reference to the key elements of leadership. I would recommend it to any aspiring leader wishing to fast track their skills and career.

I flew from Christchurch for the Masterclass for Real Estate Managers course because I couldn’t find anything else like it on the market. It’s been the most fabulous workshop – lots of golden nuggets – don’t miss it.

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.

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.

Lisa has challenged me more than just about anyone, and that’s no mean feat. As a former Commando Officer and Green Beret with the British Royal Marines, and Great Britain Combined Services Rugby representative I’m used to being pushed to my limits – and beyond. With Lisa as my business coach I have managed to break through my own glass ceiling. In 6 months my profit  has grown 250%, and I’m happier than I’ve been in a very long time. We have much left to do to realise my vision – and we’ll be doing it together. Lisa is unwaivering in her support, insightful, and in many ways a visionary. She has a unique way of not pulling any punches, while being respectful and considerate.

I know for sure – if I can use all of Bruce’s advice I will have a team that strives every day, loves working for our company, has job satisfaction, understood what they need to do, were the culture they wanted to be, knew that I cared, and had a boss that was not afraid to break the mould for them!

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.
