PUBLIC SPEAKING, WORKSHOPS & MASTERCLASSES
The stages and screens where I've had the privilege to speak or teach
We have done many strategic leadership retreats over the years, and this one ranked amongst the best. The outcomes were aspirational, but also clearly leading to practical actions that improved our business continuously. One thing that the team really appreciated was Sergio's dynamic yet personal presentation style and ‘bedside manner’, coming across as super informed, authoritative but also humble and empathetic - his experience of having done this dozens of times really shone through.
