LEADERSHIP GONE WILD™ Critical Leadership From The African Leopard.

(Note: This program was originally scheduled for June 2009, but had to be postponed due to Mr. Bernhard falling ill. We're excited to have him back on the schedule!)

Be prepared for a high energy, penetrating audio-visual presentation that will take our audience of Human Resource professionals deep into the African bush lands and open savannahs with the aid of award winning video footage. Kivi Bernhard, a “dynamic rising star…fast becoming a keynote motivational speaker of choice” will deliver his program, LEADERSHIP GONE WILD™, where he examines the African leopard as the most successful and adaptable feline predator on earth and master of the solo hunt. This unique presentation will arm the Human Resource professional with the tools they need to help enhance and maintain the leadership skills of key employees within their organizations.

Effective leadership in life and business is all well and good, but how to maintain it, and do so with constancy, is what truly distinguishes leaders from followers. The global economy we live in today has dictated that our business teams be comprised of much more successful individuals. The Human Resource professional will be given insightful ideas on how to maximize the leadership success of their top performers. With incredible stage presence, Kivi Bernhard will amaze, motivate and inspire the Human Resource audience as he draws a unique parallel between successful "predators" in the wild, and the key leadership skills required to succeed in the corporate world. His program will include three of the now internationally renowned “Pillars of Positive Predatory Thinking ™” and will literally change the way many Human Resource Managers approach employee development and leadership succession planning within their organizations.

This presentation will empower and infuse attendees with the ability to engage their key corporate employees in attaining a key “knowledge of self” that will enable them to enhance their leadership effectiveness. This knowledge of self will equip these leaders to instinctively move towards consistent leadership. This is critical, cutting-edge business and life thinking, presented like nothing audience members have ever experienced before. This keynote is, simultaneously, a visual, emotional and intellectual experience!

Exploding onto the professional speaker’s circuit, nationally and internationally, this young, dynamic rising star is fast becoming a keynote motivational speaker of choice. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Kivi Bernhard was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. Kivi has combined his acute business acumen and success in building a multimillion dollar international diamond business with his passion for Africa and its wildlife. CEO and founder of Kivi International LLC, an internationally known wholesale loose diamond distributor, Kivi’s business network reads like a current edition of “Who’s Who?” Tapping into this asset has allowed him access to the minds and spirit of some of the most accomplished names in the local and global business arena. Kivi is a riveting and captivating orator. Equally at home tracking lion deep in the African bush as he is in the executive suites of a Fortune 500, he will regale you with enthralling stories of both. A consummate professional, Kivi Bernhard is a fountain of positive energy and human potential. A world expert on “getting your insides to match your outsides,” Kivi defines this as the standard bearer of happiness. Like the African leopard, his message of “inside out,” in which “who you are” and “what you are” are one and the same, is so simple yet so profound. His message is so relevant and applicable to the individual, the team, the corporation and the organization.
