“Bart recently led a program for my team. He partnered with us to really target the content and deliver dynamically - effectively using storytelling to help people make deeper connections to the message. Bart also layers in unexpected elements, which most people don't (pun intended), and his session was rated by the audience as the one that provided the most value out of the entire event. Versatile, above-and-beyond, and impact!”

“"We asked Bart to come kick off our shoulder season in October with his messaging of kindness. He spoke for two hours and it was completely engaging and resonated with our staff because it's what they do. They want to serve the membership and their fellow coworkers at the highest level they can. People left the session saying it was the best two hours they've ever spent at Bonita Bay Club, and that's saying a lot since, a large percentage of our employees have been here for 20 years and more. He shared with us tools that we can utilize to do that even better with a group of people that care already. It was a terrific opportunity for him to share with us his messaging of kindness and. He's a master storyteller, so the ability to do that while infusing equal amounts of humor, with vulnerability was exactly what we were hoping to get. Way to go. Bart, we appreciate you. You're doing great.”

“It was our pleasure to host Bart Berkey as our Keynote Speaker at our recent Leadership Conference. Bart did his homework on our organization and culture and customized his stories to our organizational needs. Bart was incredibly engaging with the audience, kept high energy with his storytelling, and was very passionate about the betterment and success of our attendees- both personally and professionally. I really loved the “Pushing the Button '' and “Be Bamboo” stories! Thank you, Bart, for your positive energy and starting our conference out on a high note!”

“Bart is a charismatic speaker with tangible take backs you can implement into your life and work. Following a recent event where he spoke, I felt inspired and motivated to overdeliver for myself, not just my job. I can definitely see that his style and content would be transferable across many different industries and the perspective he shares gives you pause to ask important questions about how you do business and for whom. Above all this, Bart is just a great human being that I felt lucky to get to know.”
