Testimonials
Your speaking events were a great success… In an unprecedented flood of written comments the words: “Fantastic”, “Excellent”, “More please”, “Really enjoyed it”, and lots more in similar themes confirmed how good your events were.
I also would like to thank you for your exceptionally friendly and professional cooperation which made the events easy to run and stress free. I can’t ever remember managing an equivalent event and having fun doing so!

What is really great is that each one of the team recognised that by applying some of your ideas and techniques they can understand problems, issues, customers and work mates better and ultimately come up with better and more creative solutions and ideas.
… Creativity and Innovation has now taken on a new priority at Antec and in fact the very next day we worked with a customer to come up with a new product design. It was our first new design for this product in almost ten years.

Too often in business we do the 'same old, same old' and not even differently. Our biggest challenge as a professional services firm, in a highly competitive and undifferentiated sector, is to embrace new thinking and make massive changes to enhance the employer and candidate experience.
Dr YKK, as a consultant to Slade Group on Creative Thinking in Business and Creative Thinking in Recruitment, has really allowed us to 'unzip our minds', and let loose our craziest ideas. We've learnt that it's often the craziest ideas, tamed, that end up being the leapfrog strategy.
I highly recommend Dr YKK to Australian organisations; he brings a fresh approach, global commercial experience and a very endearing personal style.

Once again thank you and I look forward to working with you further in the future.

Dr. YKK's session really got me thinking.
There's a lot of "stuff" these days about unlocking the creative potential of businesses - I expected Dr. YKKs session to be just another one of those.
It wasn't.
It was thought provoking, it was motivating, but it was also substantial.
I've already shamelessly plagiarized a number of Dr. YKKs observations, and I plan to keep doing it.
Well worth the time.

Dr. YKK is an amazing motivational and creativity speaker. He's incredibly clever at showing you how to open the door to thinking outside the mainstream. It was also really good fun and I was completely taken with his workshop. When we left, Bill and I couldn't stop talking about the "thinking differently" with our business.

"When come to churning out creative solutions, Dr YKK wouldn't take 'no' for an answer - even for the toughest business problems. In our case study of an ailing company, I thought the business problem we have chosen was insurmountable. After going through the creative session, we saw so many possibilities. We didn't just see the light at the end of the tunnel – the entire tunnel was brighten up. There are so many things can be do to almost every aspect of the business."

This was a very stimulating workshop. Not only did we manage to generate a lot of new ideas, but the most important thing might be that the team realised why creativity is a key success factor in today's tough market place. If participants in the workshop take the perspectives and techniques we learnt back to their workplaces, that would be a very valuable thing for the company.

We were motivated and energised to explore new possibilities for future business ventures.”
