Cutting through all the generational hype and bluster one person stands apart: Avril Henry. She tells it like it is and she tells it from the heart. Her conviction is palpable, her research is credible and her anecdotes are anchored in fact.

I have had the great benefit of participating with Avril in a personal development program as well as watching the very positive effect of her broader engagement on Army's senior leadership team from a position on the Chief of Army's Advisory Committee. nI do not usually write references for external support providers, but have made an exception for Avril because of the positive effect she has had on the Army and the way in which she has engaged and tried to understand us. I have no hesitation in recommending her and her company.

Australian Army

I simply loved your presentation. As a professional MC, I see countless professional speakers each year, many of whom do not live up to the hype. You totally exceeded all the great things I have heard about you from colleagues on the circuit over the years. It was a terrific, insightful, thoroughly engaging presentation and many of the delegates were talking about it for the next few days.
