Testimonials

There couldn’t have been a better start to our national event for Entrepreneurs Organisation. As the Director of the event, who you start with counts. Arne brought the group together in a professional yet potently playful way -a healthy appropriate contrast to the go gogonature of many of these human’s day to day.
Arne laid the foundations for what was an incredibly powerful event with many walking away with high value processes to be applied in their personal and professional lives.
Dan Kurlapski–Director at Entrepreneurs Organisation Australia

Arne’s creative mind, openness, and breadth of experience have been invaluable in elevating our program, and his ability at getting people to share in talking circles is second to none. I have really valued how he allows you to mould the aspects of the program to your unique needs, rather than suggesting there is only one way to go about it and would wholeheartedly recommend his services to those hoping to create transformative educational experiences.
Tom Riley -Head of Campus -Vision Valley (PymbleLadies College)

Arne guided our cohort through a profound journey of transformation, helping leaders step into who they truly want to become, aligning purpose with action.
