“ I first met Tao de Haas at a Chartered Accountants training session in 2005. Tao was conducting a workshop on Emotional Intelligence with specific reference to conflict management. Both the content of the workshop and the knowledge, energy and engaging approach of Tao impressed me. Soon after I engaged Tao to present a number of Emotional Intelligence seminars as part of the “Lifestyle Program” an initiative I run at NAB. The program particularly aims to create a more sustainable workforce. Tao is very well received and we have followed up the initial seminars with full day workshops. Tao’s workshops continue to be a most valuable part of the Lifestyle Program. Cameron Strathdee Manager, People Development Technology Operations - NAB, Melbourne.
“The simple fact that the listening strategies were explained, will help me to be able to think about my own approach to listening. I am fairly goal directed, and have difficulty with relating fully with others, this has helped me be able to think about strategies to help me. Very valuable in helping me see other’s point of view.“ Mike Carrington - MLC.
"I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with some of Australia’s leading corporate trainers and keynote speakers, and they all share some notable characteristics: Professional, informative and entertaining. Good, even great presenters are not too hard to find. Exceptional presenters on the other hand are a rare breed. What differentiates the exceptional presenter? In my opinion, it’s two very important qualities. Substance and authenticityTao de Haas has substance and authenticity in abundance. He is also extremely professional, informative and very funny! I have had the pleasure of working with, and knowing Tao for the past six years. Many organisations and individuals have benefited from Tao’s expertise and genuine desire to make a positive, long lasting difference. If you want an engaging presenter that delivers excellent training programs or a highly qualified and skilled change management facilitator, then I thoroughly recommend you partner with Tao de Haas". Sharon Kells General Manager, Training & Development The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia
“Tao de Haas has been presenting for the Institute of Charted Accountants at numerous seminars, workshop and conference sessions for the last five years. Tao de Haas, without fail, rates above our benchmark of 80% satisfaction from all attendees. In fact in Tao’s most resent presentation to over 80 delegates, he scored a satisfaction rating of 99%. I personally have worked with Tao for the last three years and have seen how he works on a more personal level with all his delegates, delving into who they are as a person, not just seeing them as another number. People are truly a passion of Tao and it shows through every angle of his work- from the comprehensive information provided to the delegates, to the warm and friendly manner in which he engages every member of his audience. I would highly recommend Tao de Haas as a presenter to both small and large groups of any age, rank or profession.” Amanda Samuels, Partnership Account manager - The Institute of Chartered Accountants, Australia
”This was our sixth year of Accru Felses conducting our staff retreat and the comments from our Partners were that Tao was the best facilitator we have had at our Retreats. We can certainly recommend Tao for his services and will certainly be using him again in our organization. Tao de Haas delivered a full day program at our staff retreat aimed at developing Emotional Intelligence for our whole team. He demonstrated a very warm, caring and professional approach to the facilitation of this subject. Tao made the learning for our employees enjoyable, with a great deal of involvement and participation. This style was a key to ensuring our employees got the most from the day. Comments from our employees have been most positive. The partners at Accru Felses are pleased to provide feedback on Tao de Haas’ excellent services.“ Glenda Nixon Managing Partner - Accru Felses.
