Keith is a truly outstanding speaker who will totally absorb your audience. Keith was EMA’s top scoring speaker for March 2013-March 2014 (out of 300) and regularly receives high scores and great comments from our delegates. Keith's presentations on 'How to deal with Poor Performance' is not to be missed and is a benchmark on how to performance-manage non performing staff. Keith's talk on 'An alternative to Annual Reviews' is also thought provoking and should be heard by every HR manager in New Zealand. In short I totally recommend Keith as a conference speaker. Grant Dixon, Senior Conferences Producer, EMA.
Keith has provided numerous in-house courses for us over a number of years. Feedback has indicated a high level of engagement, challenge and appropriateness for those courses. Further he has often been ‘quoted’ in terms of staff attending those courses; the message has struck a chord! Keith can be provocative and challenging and is willing to support his training messages from good personal examples and practical experience. He has an excellent training style that always engages and reinforces the main messages. As an organisation we have better performance management because of work Keith has done with the organisation, it is relevant and adds value. I have been to a number of events where Keith has been a speaker and he has never failed to have his audience thinking at a deeper level about his message.

I came out of there with a sigh of relief that the whole world was not stacked up against the employer. I do have some say!’ A small business owner (after hearing a presentation on Managing poor performance in the workplace)
He delivers a seminar entitled, MANAGING STAFF PERFORMANCE (Practical strategies to deal with substandard performance / behaviour in the workplace, before performance management and discipline are required (and before it heads into the employment court – my addition there) I first heard him a year or so back and I can honestly say that his lessons in staff management, have been some of the most valuable I’ve learnt in my business career to date. Being now at the end of a protracted $39,000 legal battle over a PG case that’s consumed over 18months of my life, I wish I’d learned some of those lessons earlier. (We won the battle by the way but I’ve not enjoyed the fight). I think lots of people will want to hear this as Keith is interesting to listen to, entertaining and informative and it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss A small business owner
