Testimonials

We had the pleasure of having Layne present at our Boost Juice conference in Fiji. She was the first speaker to ever receive a standing ovation even before getting on stage! Layne was an absolute stand out as she tailored her presentation to suit our theme and used a mix of humour and great key messages, that left our franchisees feeling so inspired and ready to take on anything.
We cannot thank Layne enough and would not hesitate to use her again as the feedback from the delegates has been outstanding. Truly amazing, thank you!

Super good. Lots of positive feedback. Going into the call, our team were feeling flat and overwhelmed.
Layne managed to turn that around and leave them feeling inspired and good about the future. Connected well with our team thanks to her openness and the self reflection that she shared. Lots of buzz with plenty of people accepting the virtual invite.

Both presenters (Layne & Kirk) rated as the favourites of the program
Very professional while being so accommodating to all our needs.
Layne listened intently during the briefing call and took on board the challenges the industry is facing including the pressure they are under as well as abuse being received due to a tightening property market.
Particularly liked Layne’s line “You are not a real estate agent - that’s just what you do” to help the audience put life in perspective.
She struck the perfect note while also providing some great takeaways.
