TESTIMONIALS
Peter Hedge
B&D National Dealer Manager
Our entire team and network thoroughly enjoyed John’s keynote on 'Creating a Strategic Mindset' at our recent National Conference.Â
John connected extremely well with the audience and made the often-challenging topic of strategy easy to understand and apply, at both a business and personal level.
John’s level of care and professionalism in preparing for our event was also excellent.
Wendy Smith
National Conference Manager
Working with John was an absolute pleasure. He brought so much energy and professionalism as a speaker at our National Conference.
He walks in with a huge smile on his face and makes everything super easy for the organisers. He works around everything that is happening and is adaptable and flexible. Nothing is too much trouble.
John was early, calm, prepared and delivered a really insightful session that not only had the entire room singing and laughing but also debating some serious ethical questions. Is there anything he can’t do?
Lena Lennartsson
Specialist Consultant - People and CultureÂ
John's impact on our top talent masterclass was immediate. He expertly connected the cohort to the bigger picture, making strategy concepts accessible and relevant. John’s strategic mindset process was practical and memorable, with his six hand actions. What set John apart was his thorough research on our organisation’s strategy and future focus, ensuring that his presentation was highly tailored - an often overlooked but crucial detail.
John took the time to connect with participants before the session and stayed afterward to listen to our leaders - a level of engagement that’s rare among guest speakers. I highly recommend John for any event where strategic insight and actionable guidance are needed.

I really appreciated the experience of working with John in bringing together an insightful session at the 2021 National Accounting Online Conference for CA ANZ.Â
John connected powerfully with an audience comprising over 400 live online delegates from within Australia, NZ and around the Globe.
John’s session was entertaining and motivating. He made, the at times confusing topic of strategy very understandable, and explained the process of future-proofing strategies for firms and accounting careers during his session.
I really look forward to hearing more from John in the areas of Strategy and Leadership.

John Hale led this change by crystallising the benefits of extra effort with great results. John has spoken at our National Dealer Conference three years running.Â
