COACHING AND MENTORING

Brett’s Speaking Coach, David Griggs became his mentor and dramatically enhanced his performance skills and the way he engaged and connected with his auction audiences and bidders. Initially, he was coached by David for one hour, once a week, for a total of 40 weeks. This commitment gave him the skills, techniques and confidence to go on to win 5 SA Golden Gavel Awards, a record that still stands today.

 

Today, that coaching and mentoring has ensured that every auction he conducts is at the highest possible standard of performance for every one of his clients.
