Flight Centre

Bruce is very motivating! Many of our managers have commented that it was the best conference they have ever been to, and we need to keep in mind that we have had some very excellent conferences in the past. The energy Bruce exuded during his presentations was fantastic and also quite contagious!

The content was tailored to our needs and even altered on the plane on the way to Bali to suit my last minute requests. Bruce is by far the most professional and motivating speaker I have had the pleasure to see present and we will definitely be utilizing his expertise for conferences in the future.

Ergon Energy

Involving all of the participants, Bruce has a natural gift of being able to bring out the best in ourselves in a non-threatening and professional manner. Fuelled by his passion on the subjects, his depth of knowledge and ability to challenge us, Bruce was able to take us to a different level of thinking and challenge us to think about how we do things.

Even after our time away, discussions on our time with Bruce continue to be on our monthly agenda as we continue to improve what we do to be effective leaders.

Holden

Bruce’s ability to capture an audience and hold their attention is the best I have seen after 33 years experience in the Automotive Business. Bruce has the ability to engage an audience in such a manner that ensures the learning experience is remembered long after the actual presentation. This is the Bruce Sullivan “Difference” - the difference between just another training presentation and true value for money!

Independent Grocers of Australia (IGA)

Bruce was chosen because of his depth of topics, adaptability and knowledge, all to be achieved in an environment of fun and entertainment to a group of people who do not favour sitting still for any period of time. Busy, hard working people with a range of backgrounds and experience always provide the conference management team with a challenge to achieve the right content, message and delivery. Bruce provided the perfect balance from the start of the day’s breakfast topic of ‘Happy at Home, Happy at Work’, and continued through our success message to teambuilding, motivation, focus and leadership sessions. The entire audience were attentive, ready to participate and were having fun from start to finish.

Bruce’s preparation, conference planning participation and contribution were all outstanding including offers of supporting documentation, procedure and scheduling assistance all in a prompt, polite and professional manner. The conference sessions were excellent, and included very positive feedback from the audience supporting the clarity, importance and motivation found from the content and delivery. From a conference management perspective, the timing and delivery was perfect, meeting every scheduled time point with exceptional completion and message reinforcement. Bruce’s ability to reference the “Facts of Life” message through personal reflection and family situation completed the message with credibility.
