Bernard has an innate and special ability to translate the learnings and common threads from high performance sport to high performance business. His experiences and lessons are inspiring, insightful and entertaining, all at the same time. I would recommend his services highly to anyone looking to build a high-performance culture

Bernard is an absolute pro, took the time to understand my requirements and tailor his talk around business used cases for specific teams. He comes with a wealth of experience in both sport and business, and was able to bring to life the behaviours of high performance culture within a team in a very relatable and interactive format.

Bernard gives spell-binding talks and his diverse experience, such as in Japan with Toyota, makes his talks immediately relevant to the business world as well as the sporting world. He goes beyond platitudes to deliver take-home messages based on real experience and deep insight. Superb, really impressive content, style and impact.

I had the chance to meet Bernard in a corporate development program where he was one of the main speakers. I loved his session on high-performing teams, his sense of humor and enthusiasm. I also reached out to him after the session to ask a few more info and he's been incredibly lovely to interact with!

I had Bernard speak with our high performing FinTech SaaS sales team. Bernard displayed all of the key leadership & coaching skills required by top executives in this space. In addition, Bernard's experiences from the dressing room, to the pitch, to the board room really resonated with the team and were inspirational. His personal style and empathy allows him to build relationships fast. That focus on results, execution, learning & continual improvement/development were some of the stories & themes that the team bought into. It was a real pleasure working with Bernard and productive session for our sales team.

Bernard spoke to a Sports Team that I'm involved with. He quickly identified and understood where we are as a group and helped address some of the key performance indicators to help us progress as a unit. Bernard was engaging and motivating and kept the content very relevant to what we wanted to achieve as a team. Thanks Bernard for your time and passion, highly recommend to anyone in a competitive environment that is looking to thrive in their field, whether through sporting or corporate settings.

Bernard came and spoke to our Senior Ladies Leadership group within the club. It was a newly formed leadership group, within a gaelic football team Bernard spoke about his own experiences, skills he had acquired, the role of a leadership group and how he felt this leadership group could go about their role within in the group. He interacted with the group, took any number of questions and offered check ins via email. Bernard was a massive part in the club winning their first ever Senior Championship and leagues.

Bernard attended our recent Management Away Day for a workshop on High Performance and Leadership Strategy. He hit the right note throughout the session, speaking from his own personal and professional journey to real life examples of high performance management and teams around the world when completing his thesis. Bernard was engaging and also very entertaining, his stories from his early sporting career through to his current career. I would recommend Bernard to any team or company looking for a workshop on high performance and leadership.

Bernard is a fascinating speaker, very enjoyable thought provoking and funny.

Highly recommend Bernard as a keynote speaker. Hugely experienced in high performance environments in both the sporting and corporate worlds. He brings this experience to life in a very engaging and insightful way through relatable stories, while providing lots of practical takeaways. His core messages really resonate from both a personal and organisational developmental perspective.

Thank you Bernard for delivering a very engaging talk about Culture during our Celebration of Culture Day at AbbVie on October 11th. It was great that we could broadcast your insights across all our AbbVie locations in Ireland. You had so many insights to share, from your experience in sport, business, media and research. We walked away with some great learnings and takeaways. Looking forward to speaking with you again soon.
