  • "Josh’s presentation at our quarterly HSES Meeting on “Resilience & Positive Mindset” was very well researched & came at a time when the Company was preparing to embark on a transformation process. It was highly personal, drawing on a number of his life experiences. He interacted well with the 40 or so participants. His questions were very thought-provoking, highly emotional to some with a mix of humour. Feedback from the presentation was resoundingly positive & resulted in “new energy” for participants."
