We worked with Avi and his team for a period of 6 months. The leadership team at Marina Bay Sands had a great time participating in his workshops and took back several learnings that were implemented in their Operations. The hotel moved from approx. 140 rank on TripAdvisor to 36 in the 12 months. No better proof that happy employees mean happy customers!

Avi conducted a one-day senior management team-building event for us. We first worked together in the middle of the pandemic on "delivering delight". This workshop was again great, inspirational, and fun at the same time. Avi lives his contagious message of love and hope, and weaves it in a discussion of personal values, which engages the team and provokes everybody to think again, all embedded in a playful but not shallow setting. We came out as a stronger team. Thank you, Avi!
