Gihan Perera Reviews & Testimonials

"Very practical discussion and interesting perspectives in the work session. Great topic that is so important to get right."

"This session gave me a new way of looking at the obstacles that arise all too often. I feel I leave this room with greater clarity and more tools to move forward."

"The two aspects of the session I valued are: (1) Culture of decision making, how this applies to our team. (2) Building judgement within team members. Collecting stories is something that would be valuable to our team."

"Lots of Zingers. Engaging presentation. Fast-moving and good stories."

"This session raised some really thought-provoking ideas - such as decision-making styles and building judgement in teams through story-telling. Gave me some great things to think about!"

"I enjoyed reflecting on how high-performing leaders foster good judgement in their team. Collecting stories to share is a great strategy!"

"Thanks for a great workshop today. I am leaving with some ideas on testing out a hypothesis on a decision our team is stuck on."

"I really valued the thinking around building judgement though story telling - and the 3 point framework to assist with this. We struggle to empower our people to use their judgement and this will be something to implement immediately."

"Bulla has been working on high-performance culture for over 3 years, and today's session added to what I have learnt from work. The most important take home note is "be prepared to be wrong"."

"Gihan delivers relevant practical sessions that are applicable to any workplace. In such a fast changing world we need to evolve and develop our ability to lead change. Gihan is the guru and his book, programs and sessions are leading the way in this space."

"Gihan's presentations are always insightful because he comes in with a different, 'out-of the-box' perspective that is fresh and unlike the typical leadership courses I have been to."

"I found the assessment, scenario planning and integration tools to be very practical and immediately relevant to my work."

"Gihan's scenario planning process is a valuable tool that we can use in our strategic planning."

"Valued the differentiation into Hype vs Certain. So much is hype but because of influencers, we think it is certain."

"Main Roads has a lot of new technologies and political pressures, so the content really is relevant to the evolving needs of our customers and how our internal employees react to those pressures."

"It is a great forum to switch your thinking and have the ability to look forward in a safe environment. No idea is too far out there!"
