    Speaking Topics

    • “I've worked with Wayne for the last two years, over which time we’ve gone from nowhere to being 25th in the Best Companies survey as a great place to work. With wit and charm, and a huge amount of common sense and experience, Wayne has been a fantastic source of advice, always delivered in a way, which is constructive although challenging. He recently spoke at a conference with all of our managers, and was the star turn of the day, with feedback from managers at all levels that Wayne made them think, and left them inspired.”
