Wayne Goodley - Director Herrmann International New Zealand: 'Cyriel Kortleven facilitates his sessions with tremendous energy, enthusiasm and knowledge of his subject. Our AND… Action! Workshop enabled 20 seminar facilitators to develop new skills and activities which they could immediately use with confidence. Our Belgium maestro of theatre for business delivers value, fun and inspiration.

Peter Spence - co-organizer Creative Performance Exchange: 'Great session. Infectious enthusiasm from Cyriel, who jolted us off the narrow highway that the 'curse of knowledge' keeps us on and restricts our creative thought. He introduced a number of stimulating activities and lotsof fun, plenty of laughing and a good range of images and videos. To top itoff, he shared with us the collaborative ethos that he and his colleagues follow at New Shoes Today in Brussels. Great to be able to share some creative thinking from Europe.'

Kerri Tilby - Exult: 'I've been telling everyone I meet about the fabulous session you facilitated, and I'm already revisiting some of the concepts to brainstorm solutions to my own business challenges. In addition to the huge benefit your session had to Parent to Parent, it was just the boost I needed personally as well.'

Brett Hewlett - CEO Comvita: 'I found Cyriel’s approach to facilitation hugely refreshing. It was professional and yet still informal. His European perspective gave a very worldy persona. The session was engaging meaning that lessons learnt will be remembered. There was a clear process to follow and some very practical tips on how to get the best out of a creative session. I look forward to our next session'

Nicola Williams - senior urban designer - Auckland City Council: 'Cyriel knocked our socks off with his seemingly effortless energy and engaging, friendly vibe. His good use of hand gestures appealed to the more visual members of Intersect, collectively speaking of a creative language rarely utilised in common office work place practice. Cyriel jolted us out of the mould. Not in an unseemingly radical way, not even realistically. He just asked us to start small, be aware of little interventions, slight changes in everyday life, that would have wider flow-on benefits. Thank you Cyriel!

Rumi Shivaz - public sector innovation consultant: 'Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Cyriel in an amazing brainstorm session around opportunity scanning for Rugby World Cup  2011 in New Zealand. It was a diverse group of people both from government and private sector and Cyriel managed to unleash the free-flow of ideas within the group. The session exceed all my expectations, with 309 ideas uncovered in less than 3 hours and we short-listed 10 exciting concepts for further development. If your team or organization needs to identify value creation opportunities, then investing in a workshop with Cyriel is one of the best decisions you can make.'
