Ron is both motivational and thought provoking and a real asset to have available as a speaker. As a presenter for our Governance Development Programme, Ron’s extensive business pursuits and local board positions have given him knowledge that is vast, relevant and timely”.

Jo Perry

Branch Manager, Institute of Directors

“Ron provided Zespri with advanced financial training last year. He was professional at all times and took full responsibility for the quality of the programme.
Ron was careful to tailor his content to suit the varying ability levels of the participants and he remained open throughout to feedback/cues from his audience as to pace, level of delivery.
Extensive written material was provided. Ron also took some time before the programme to gain a deeper understanding of our business before coaching staff”.
