Testimonials for Doug Flockhart

Just a quick note of thanks for your inspiring and provocative presentation to my senior management team, and our valued clients yesterday. Yet again you nailed the brief! Your pressos were, as always, perfectly researched, and presented attendees with a tremendously crafted blend of the stark realities of business today, rapidly shifting consumer trends, and through logical sequencing delivered the team an innovate and creative success roadmap that has set the tone for what I anticipate will be an exciting recovery in 2020/2021. The energy and optimism you created in each session yesterday provided a much-needed lift in team culture and client confidence. It saw the team head out the door with springs in their steps, clarity around their purpose, and a deeper understanding of current and emerging trends and challenges, but most importantly, a clear united strategy for us all to move forwards with.
