Keynote Testimonials

"We invited Sasja Nieukerk to facilitate a workshop called “Hunting the Elephant” during staff appreciation week. Our support people are made up of First Nations people and many of them are very shy and have not had much experience in staff development opportunities with the doctors, nurses and their supervisors. We wanted our staff to learn and laugh at the same time and this is exactly what happened throughout the day. Sasja was an expert in getting even the quiet ones participating, communicating, sharing experiences and learning how to formulate difficult conversations with their coworkers. I was very impressed and would recommend Sasja for any team building workshops you would like to have with your staff. We all learned a lot from her and we will definitely have her back again."

“It was a pleasure to have you as our Keynote Speaker at our annual conference; our members thoroughly enjoyed your motivational and informative presentation.  I was particularly impressed with your ability to reach the entire audience; as you know, our membership comprises areas/resorts from BC & Yukon, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and range from international resorts such as Whistler-Blackcomb to small day areas. All our leaders were extremely impressed by your delivery. All who attended your talk have told me what great value it was, how much they had enjoyed it and what interest it sparked for them.”

"Another fun and learning keynote presentation delivered by Shane Jensen and Sasja Nieukerk! Shane's third straight invite didn't disappoint. After entertaining HRABC members for the past 2 years with "The Times They are a-Changin" Parts 1 and 2, the third presentation "Hunting the White Elephant" addresses a serious matter in the workplace and in our personal life - conflicts. Shane's light hearted approach makes this serious topic easily discussed at our 60th conference. Our members walk away to not fear conflict but to confront it when it's still small and to start having that uncomfortable conversation that needs to be had"

“Shane I want to thank you for the outstanding presentation you did for our broker educational summit.  You and your company have a firm grasp of the rapidly changing workforce demographics.  Your session was entertaining, thoughtful and more importantly relevant to the everyday challenges of engaging a mutigenerational workforce.  You were most definitely the highlight of our conference!”
