Testimonials - Leadership Training & Development

  • I truly believe that this is a value added, life skills course that has helped not only myself, but my colleagues as well. I honestly can say that I have personally witnessed 180° changes in some of our supervisors, as well as helping some out of their spin. There are so many techniques that I have learned and use daily that has helped me to become a better manager.  Eric Gossman, manufacturing plant leader

​

  • While it is clear that your content is grounded in evidence, you translate it into practical and growth inspiring strategy that we can apply in our daily lives (personal and professional).

​

  • Kerri's session on crucial conversations was both thought-provoking and engaging. Through sharing her own personal experiences with crucial conversations and simulating a crucial conversation on a topic that is a common stressor for our organization, Kerri helped us to see ways in which our teams could communicate better with each other. Plus, Kerri's willingness to tailor sessions to a variety of barriers to effective teamwork makes her an excellent choice for any organization that is struggling with team building or team functionality.  In short, she was flexible, fun, and very informative. 5 stars.

Testimonials - Team Development
  • After working with Kerri Burchill, the atmosphere at ISI has improved significantly. We had a group that was not working well as a team. Kerri talked to each member then helped me see the disconnect between myself and the team. After seeing my blind spots, she helped me take decisive action to correct the problems. We have all been working better as a team now. I am looking forward to continued progress as we continue our collaboration with Kerri.   Tom Cull, President, Incubation Systems Inc.

​

  • In the case of our event, she jumped on board without hesitation and was very flexible as we cycled through our planning stages and onto the actual event. She was super responsive during every step and on the day of the event, she showed up incredibly prepared and with a sense of approachability. The students could tell that Kerri was the “real deal” with her honest and authentic passion for what she was sharing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an engaging speaker who has plenty of stories to share and the knowledge to leave an audience wanting more.
