So, how good are we?

Only our clients can tell you for sure - take a look at what some of them have to say...

"Some words to describe what Nils Vesk did for us at our CBA conference. He led us, he guided us, he facilitated, he challenged us, and most importantly he helped us innovate and become thought leaders. He was fabulous, his style is terrific his energy is contagious and we’d use him again in a heart beat."
Brigid Gibson HR General Manager, Commonwealth Bank

"I highly recommend Nils Vesk as a speaker for your business. Nils presented to our entire agency and we received great feedback from all departments - from the creative teams to the 'suits'. He was an energetic and inspiring presenter who provided us with great ideas for how we can become more inventive. His ideation strategies would be applicable for any type of business - and I encourage any business leader who believes in the power of ideas to also get him involved in their business."
Victoria Curro Managing Director, McCann Worldgroup, Sydney

"Nils you helped us with the development of our Customer First Strategy, made us think and get our heads around what we needed to do as one group moving forward. It was a great experience for all and you challenged our thinking, gave us practical tools and got us to open our minds to make the journey." "Your endless energy and fantastic facilitation skills got us to where we needed to be and gave us the momentum to develop actions and ideas which we have struggled with in the past. We now have a great strategy, ideas and actions to work towards and implement. Thanks for the experience and all your effort. We have been singing your praises to everyone, as outstanding and we have no hesitation in recommending you." Dean Zabrieszach Director, Road User Services,VicRoads

"Just finished a great 3-day conference and had the opportunity to work closely with Nils and we'd recommend him to anyone. Great young fellow, motivated, has a lot of stories, has a lot of good content. Good luck Nils! I'm sure you'll be a success wherever you go."
Sam Plowman General Manager, Fairfax Digital

"I have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect. Nils came highly recommended but what would he bring to our gathering of interstate peers and colleagues? The answer was energy and innovation; an attention grabbing and challenging look at creativity and how we could all harness it. Nils engaged us though both story telling and presenting a framework for all to use to get organisations and individuals to think and act more creatively. The visual aids and tangible product left with each participant reinforced these messages."

"Nils' presentation was a highlight of our 3 day event. It created a buzz in the room which followed through into breaks and ongoing sessions. It set the scene for our information sharing, it got people talking, and it generated ideas in the audience which enhanced the outcomes of our event. Certainly not a run of the mill presenter, but rather one that can add the spark to the event."
Dianne Jeans GM Smart Service Queensland

"Nils Vesk would have to be one of the most congenial and passionate presenters ICSP has ever showcased. Our members and guests were given many practical and achievable skills to use during their busy work schedules… and ones that work!"
Tricia Olsen ICSP CEO

"Thank-you Nils – a great way to open the mind. I found your presentation provided me with tools that will assist me greatly in brainstorming ideas."
Greg Pickering CEO, Mount Pritchard Community Club (2007 Club of the Year)

"Nils was excellent. His enthusiastic and down to earth style was very appealing. The feedback for his presentation was very good and everyone was buzzing at the end. Nils was very easy to understand. Everyone could relate to his content and I found him excellent to work with prior to the conference and even afterwards. I would not hesitate in recommending Nils to any company."
Ayusha Tyagi Project Director, Terrapinn Australia Pty Ltd

"At Blueprint we believe that Nils' involvement in our Leadership program will have a lasting impact. During his Create workshop, the staff were engaged and informed, yet entertained at the same time. The practical tips he provided were intrinsic truths and the points were really driven home. The post workshop follow-up has been thorough and has reinforced the learning to ensure that they become part of our company's day-to-day practices. Our staff are anticipating Nils' next workshop."
Lauren Bunton People Services Manager, Blueprint Management

"Nils is an amazing talent. His ability to see patterns in ideas that are not obvious to others sets him apart. He is an exceptional presenter and a master at bringing concepts alive."
Matt Church www.mattchurch.com.au

"Engaging Nils as the MC for Peppers Heads of Department conference has definitely made our job easier... and a whole lot more fun in the planning! His ideas have helped to create an agenda which not only ensures the intention of our event was clear and met our MD's objectives; but also gave a fresh perspective on how to bring more energy and excitement to this annual event. His pre-event planning session is an invaluable part of his MC service."
Kris McIntyre Freelance marketing consultant & project manager, Stella Resorts Group

"Nils provides an entertaining and energising approach to dealing with the stresses we face as leaders within an organisation. Nils provides a framework for us to live and work by that allows us to clarify and focus on positive outcomes and demonstrates how the choices we make along the way can positively impact results, interspersed with some humorous stories along the way!"
David Lucy National Manager Retail Operations, Medibank Private

"I have worked with Nils on a specific project recently and I was very impressed with his willingness to implement new ideas. He is all about positive creativity that gets results i.e. the ideas get executed. He not only talks about creativity - he is the epitome of it. His recent keynote speech and workshop was practical, creative, and engaging and fully reflective of the topic he presents. If you or your staff need to come up with ideas and you're stuck - let Nils work with your team and he will show you some brilliant ways to unlock that creativity. In fact you will probably never say "I am not creative" again."

Thanks Nils because participation in your Workshop was insightful, motivational and life changing. I cannot thank you enough."
Kim Hanlonn Employment Consultant, Salvation Army

Nils possesses an amazing ability to take a large concept and chunk it down into practical, achievable and logical steps. On many occasions Nils has weaved his magic and plotted a simple yet effective course for me to follow. I cannot thank him enough."
Dr. Adam Fraser www.energyfactory.com.au

"Nils sees black and white where I see grey. When it comes to creating and implementing ideas in your business, Nils is your man. Nils stimulates imagination, helps to crystallize ideas and their value, and has a process that helps you overcome blocks (imaginary or otherwise!) to implementing those ideas. Additionally, Nils is always generous with his time and expertise. I would recommend Nils to any company looking to challenge the status quo."

Lis Brandson 3BL Consulting Pty Ltd

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Nils at a conference we hosted. His daily summarising debriefs were one of the stand out items of our workshop. Over the three days, we were able to easily, visually link back to the content of each session and ground the intervention back to the event."
"Not only is Nils a talented and creative designer, his "Create" process is well thought out and articulated, and his presentation and facilitation style are warm and engaging."
Jon Martin Executive Manager, Leadership Learning Delivery Talent & Development, Commonwealth Bank

"I have been presenting in seminars for a long time, and I have not seen anyone like Nils Vesk who can capture my talk on the fly, and turn them into useful graphics & text to help the audience summarise and remember what has been said. He definitely gives the wow factor to the audience in my talk. I would highly recommend him to any speakers who want to enhance the experience you have with your audience."
Bill Zheng Investors Direct Financial Group

"A great complement to any group project, a vivid and creative summary of the material covered. A uniqueness to any event."
Liza Spence Director, Mindset Matters Group

"Nils Vesk and his conference cartography is a must have for any serious conference or seminar event. His cartography skills capture and communicate the most important learnings from a conference in a clear and memorable way. If it's impact you're after in a conference, then Nils' cartography will help you get it. His skills as a designer, author and facilitator seem the perfect combination of skills for integrating and transfering the messages that matter most. To see your own words, ideas and pictures translated for everyone to see, is not only self satisfying, but most importantly makes for a lasting impression on the conference attendee. Nils has earned his fee many times over and I highly recommend his services to anyone."
Mal Emery Magnetic Marketing & Productions

"I have witnessed Nils Vesk's ability and capacity to summarise presentations at a 2-day workshop.
Nils is a master at capturing, integrating and communicating the messages that presenters give at conferences. He has an uncanny sense of knowing what points to capture and how to draw powerful and memorable maps to ensure people understand and remember an event.
When I attended the event Nils was capturing, I found myself and other attendees reviewing our maps and discussing the latest speaker and key learnings. Receiving my own personal copy of his cartography maps just a few days later was a real bonus and helped to keep the learnings front of mind and part of my actions list.
I recommend him unreservedly as the person to help capture and integrate messages at any conference or important event. Please contact me personally if you would like to discuss this further."
