Testimonials

Stephen Scheeler is one of the most dynamic, engaging and authentic speakers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Stephen connected brilliantly with our delegates as he delivered a talk on the ‘Pivots’ undertaken by Facebook during his time as CEO Australia/NZ. A relevant, captivating and effortlessly delivered presentation perfectly matched to our theme - so much so, that question time could have gone on for hours!

On behalf of the leadership team at Bunnings who attended the recent Corporate Plan Update offsite, I would like to thank you for your presentation on Digital Disruption in Retail Australia. Your presentation was very well received and one of the highlights of the event. Some of the feedback provided by the team: ‘very insightful’, ‘I have a much better understanding of what is coming’ and ‘it really opened my eyes to the business and social implications of digital disruption’. We at Bunnings are facing the challenge of better understanding the digital world and ensuring we position ourselves and the business to embrace it. You have inspired the team in both!
