Keynote Speaking

Re: AirNZ Holidays Brand Launch

"Wade Jackson of Improv Solutions presented a keynote on Embracing Change prior to our Air New Zealand Holidays brand launch.

Wade was fantastic, he grabbed everyone's attention within the first 5 seconds and kept it.
His session was innovative, motivating and interesting. The presentation was tailor made to our needs and the content was invaluable. Wade has a real knack for dealing with people. Everyone was engaged, felt at ease and the session was a lot of fun. I heard nothing but positive feedback from all involved and the presentation gave me new ideas and skills to share with my team.

Improv Solutions were excellent; I'd recommend them for any company who needs to work with their staff, leaders or on their work environments."

Re: ANZ Leadership Alumni Event

"Thank you for being the keynote speaker at our recent leadership programmes' Alumni Event. The feedback from the groups, both in Auckland and Wellington, was extremely positive, with people contacting me days later, expressing their enjoyment of your session.

People said how informative and practical the session was, with many implementing your suggestions, with great success. It was a risk delivering a session on 'Storytelling' to this particular group, and yet you were able ground the concepts and ideas so they made good business sense, as well as showing what a useful tool storytelling is to inspire and lead others.

The session was also great fun, lively and entertaining. With your use of group participation, the room was buzzing at the end of the hour. Thank you once again and I look forward to working with you in the near future."

Re: NZ Security Association Annual conference

"On behalf of the Association, thank you for your presentation. It did everything that we, as organizers, wanted it to do and more. We have received outstanding feedback with people commenting that it was very informative, stimulating and made relevant to our industry. My favourite piece of feedback was 'We needed this for those who are stiff neck wankers.'

Your inspirational and thought provoking topic was only exceeded by your enthusiastic and engaging delivery. You're a very impressive speaker and superbly managed to take everyone outside their comfort zone. We appreciated your flexibility to adapt your message to the audience and everyone had great fun.

Thank you once again for your excellent presentation."

Re: AMP Conference

"I would like to express my appreciation for your after dinner session at our recent Conference.
It was a difficult spot to fill. You managed to engage the audience and take people outside their comfort zone.
It is not often that a group can be both entertained and caused to think at the same time.
You will be pleased to know we continued to challenge them to think differently for the rest of the Conference."

Re: Sales & Marketing Institute of New Zealand

"Thanks for your great presentation, it certainly got the room buzzing! The response forms filled out were all very positive, and I know a lot of people were discussing your ideas as they left.

You certainly got people thinking about their business in an unusual and creative way, and I'm sure everyone will be mentioning your ideas at their next marketing meeting."

Re: International Coach Federation

"Thank you very much for presenting at the monthly meeting of the Auckland Chapter of the International Coach Federation. You programme was extremely well received and I would highly recommend your business as well as your presentation services to others.

Your ability to create rapport with the group, share information and create action learning experiences was excellent. What made the evening so valuable was the combination of both theory and practice that you provided. The theory enabled participants to add value to their own learning by knowing the structure of the work well enough to understand how improv can be used effectively in a group for communication and team development. The practice enable participants to experience the development, giving them a deeper understanding of the impact and the effectiveness of the model.

Your presentation was also a lovely blend of fun, perfect for a relaxing evening as well as a practical and interesting way of supporting professional development. It was a great way to end the year on a positive and productive note."

"When Wade spoke at one of our events recently he provided valuable insights into how to engage with people at all levels effectively and memorably. His relaxed, friendly manner, coupled with his openness and willingness to share created the perfect environment for learning. His quick wit, humour and keen observations make him a lively and stimulating speaker.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending Wade to anyone seeking a highly experienced and professional speaker and facilitator."
