“The most impactful and memorable presentation for the entire conference.  Bart took the time to learn about our group and customized the message to make it interesting and applicable. His background of leadership and service excellence was exactly what we needed to hear." 

Pan-American Life Insurance Group- Global Leadership Summit  

“Bart’s message was both energizing and deeply resonant with our leadership team. His authentic and engaging style brought to life powerful concepts like the #BeBamboo mindset and the G-O-A-T-S Leadership Model. Our PALIG leaders walked away with practical tools to foster adaptability, lead with kindness, and build stronger, more connected teams.

What truly stood out was Bart’s ability to move us from ‘Now to Next’—challenging us to embrace a growth mindset and take intentional steps toward lasting impact. His PEAK message—centered on Positivity, Empathy, Action, and Kindness—aligned perfectly with our values and inspired us to lead with greater purpose and presence.

I encourage other organizations in the insurance industry to experience Bart’s message firsthand and explore how his insights can elevate leadership, culture, and performance across the board.”

"Thank you so much for helping us end our 2.5 day offsite with a bang. Your presentation was exactly what the team needed. We are using much of your phrases in our daily conversations. 

Your energy was contagious. I am also really enjoying the book and plan to share with the team." 

-Colleen Nicoll- Vice President 

Liberty Mutual Insurance  

“Bart recently led a program for my team. He partnered with us to really target the content and deliver dynamically - effectively using storytelling to help people make deeper connections to the message. Bart also layers in unexpected elements, which most people don't (pun intended), and his session was rated by the audience as the one that provided the most value out of the entire event. Versatile, above-and-beyond, and impact!" 

-Katrina Kent, Vice President, Liberty Mutual Insurance

 “It was our pleasure to host Bart Berkey as our Keynote Speaker at our recent Leadership Conference. Bart did his homework on our organization and culture and customized his stories to our organizational needs. Bart was incredibly engaging with the audience, kept high energy with his storytelling, and was very passionate about the betterment and success of our attendees- both personally and professionally. I really loved the “Pushing the Button '' and “Be Bamboo” stories! Thank you, Bart, for your positive energy and starting our conference out on a high note!”

“Bart thinks differently based on his ability to “observe, anticipate, and over-deliver” which may come from his past Ritz-Carlton Leadership roles. His storytelling is remembered more than data and enables betterment for organizations and individuals. Bart leads with authentic heartfelt emotion to touch upon the hearts and minds of individuals, so they FEEL moved to take action and do good for themselves and others.”

-Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer
