  • Colin delivered a session for our senior leadership group on building vibrant cultures to absolutely stellar feedback. We thoroughly enjoyed his enthusiasm, humour, candidness and diligence.

    Evelyn Mar, Learning Specialist, Metro Trains

  • It was an honour working with Danny. His skills, leadership and personal vulnerability have taken the club to a place where we haven't been before. Our time with Danny was an unrivalled success and the sense of common purpose from the entire club was quite extraordinary. I am genuinely excited about where this will lead us!

    David Dome, General Manager, Wellington Phoenix

  • Colin's presentation was one of the best I have ever attended. His energy and humour was something else and he had the group in the palm of his hand from the first minute. He clearly spent time researching Cricket New South Wales and brought his evidence based concepts to life under our framework. Colin is a 'must see' presenter and his work on vibrant cultures is outstanding!

    David Moore, Bangladesh Cricket Board (previously at Cricket New South Wales)

  • Danny delivered a keynote speech to the global Adidas Football team that was a fascinating and thought-provoking insight into the psychology of elite (and amateur) athletes. A perfect balance of ‘art and science’, excellently delivered and extremely well received by the audience.

    Michael Clarke, Senior Director (Global Football) at Adidas

  • Danny's attention to detail is exceptional and he always puts the athlete first. Danny helped me recover from injuries and become a more confident athlete. I can't speak highly enough of him.

    Tony Bellew, Boxer (Cruiser Weight World Champion) and Actor

  • Danny has taken me to the next level both physically and mentally and has taken me to places I would have never known I could go! When I’m in Danny’s presence I feel at ease, calm and happy.
