Keith’s Testimonials
“Keith’s presentation was interactive, informative and thought-provoking. He is a brilliant presenter and kept the audience engaged throughout the session. You delivered on what you were briefed to do, and I personally was quite impacted by your words and storytelling. I knew it would be good, but watching it unfold to be great was a real pleasure.”
“I first met Keith in 2002, when I invited him to speak at the East-West Center in the Asia Pacific Leadership Program (APLP), our flagship leadership education program. His pilot teaching was so successful that I have invited Keith back annually ever since for periods of 2-3 weeks modular teaching on i) the nature of leadership in a globalizing world, ii) learning how to learn leadership, and iii) learning to lead diversity. We have now worked together for the past seventeen years. His evaluations have consistently been the best in the program and he remains one of the most insightful people I know in the world on leadership.”
