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.

My work and one on one with Kerri has become so important. We have had three sessions and those sessions have kept me sane to be honest. Had we not had these sessions, I would of continued to be discouraged, overwhelmed and second guessing myself. Jessica Kranawater, Compliance manager

Kerri was absolutely wonderful! Her ability to address issues that are common across industries.

We still talk about you ALL the time & how much we enjoyed it. Kristin Pankey, Program Leader

I thought the use of audience input and interaction in Kerri’s conversation presentation was very useful and engaging.

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.
