“I have had the pleasure of hearing Craig speak multiple times on the topic of positive leadership and consider him truly one of the best in this field. I am struck by how he continually engages his audiences in highly interactive, powerful conversations and interpersonal reflection. He provides important insights into our behavior without prompting defensiveness or sounding condescending. His command of the research and his ability to translate it into tangible practice is second-to-none. Craig inspires, educates, and empowers people to be their best selves.”

“I first met Craig Dowden at a seminar nearly a decade ago. My colleague and I were blown away by his insights and ability to open the minds of those that attended the session. We all left that room with a new sense of possibility and this feeling of awe, “I’ve never thought of that before”. Since then I have brought Craig into every organization I have worked with to engage staff and leadership and broaden their ideas of what is possible. Recently I have seen Craig take a tired team, who have experienced a global pandemic simultaneously with a merger, and completely transform them. The team was aligned in a growth mindset and also speaking the same language in less than 2 hours. That’s what Craig does, he creates magic everywhere he goes with his unique ability to penetrate the hearts and minds of others with deep empathy, connection and true leadership.”

“I had the pleasure of participating in Craig Dowden’s Masterclass – Do Good to Lead Well Through Crisis: The Science and Practice of Resilient Leadership. I was immediately struck by his passion and energy for the topic. His style was very engaging, and he made the experience highly interactive. Over the course of multiple modules, Craig provided us with evidence-based insights into practical strategies we could use when managing ourselves and our teams. He touched on key areas like mindset, emotions, and empathy. It was a pleasure to participate in this Masterclass and I would highly recommend Craig to any organization who are looking to bring in a topnotch presenter who delivers topnotch content.”

“Craig spoke to our leadership team in a virtual forum about Empathy and Self-Awareness, two critical leadership skills needed to not only survive but thrive in this quickly-changing market. By combining evidence-based content with his highly engaging and interactive style, Craig was able to connect with the audience in a way that few have done before, and the attendees left with actionable tactics that they could apply immediately. If you’re serious about upskilling and investing in your people, then give Craig a call.”

"Craig has a gift for bringing simplicity to complexity. I have seen first hand the impact of Craig's wise counsel on a wide variety of leaders. His down-to-earth and practical approach to teaching, coaching and facilitating is appreciated and refreshing. The rigor with which he finds and brings relevant data to organizational dilemmas at all levels is second to none. I have enjoyed working with Craig over the past few years and look forward to continuing our partnership."

"I know Craig as an energetic speaker, passionate about positive leadership. He successfully balances his knowledge of the science with real life examples and provides practical tools that are readily applicable. His interactive, down to earth style and his ability to inject humour in his programs, resonates wonderfully with his audience. I always learn something new when interacting with Craig!"
