Testimonials
“Dr Briffa delivered an outstanding session to a senior team of over 150 IBM management consultants at our annual vision and strategy event. He more than lived up to his reputation for delivering insightful, thought-provoking and lifestyle-changing health and nutrition advice to senior corporate staff. His rapid, lucid delivery, combined with his deeply-researched insights, made his session the most popular elective session of the day, with many participants talking long after the event about the impact it had made on their lifestyle.
Our most senior executives were particularly energised by his thinking and practical insights and have expressed a keen interest in a follow-up session. Above all, John’s personable warmth and engaging style make him not only a pleasure to listen to, but very easy to work with in shaping the agenda and style of his pitch to suit our audience and programme objectives. I hope we can work together with him very soon.”

“Dr Briffa spoke on diet and general health tips for nearly 3 hours at our conference in Berlin. Against all odds he kept a mixed and demanding audience of around 120 people totally engaged: his energetic and humorous delivery style demands attention. Even more impressively, our delegates walked away buzzing with new ideas about how to improve their health and still refer to the session over a year later – a highly memorable morning.”
David Adams – Global Head of Finance & Capital Markets Training Clifford Chance
“I have worked with Dr. John Briffa for 10 years and have found him to be an extraordinarily intelligent and competent professional in his work with our firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, in Canada.
John’s knowledge of nutrition and how it impacts on the physiology and psychology of our bodies is robust and is very current in nature. John has an incredible ability to make sense of a complex topic easy to understand for non medically trained individuals
I believe we are exceptionally fortunate as a firm to have been able to work Dr. Briffa over the past 10 years and it is my hope that we will have yet another 10 years of his counsel and support in enhancing the nutritional and lifestyle behaviours of our senior partners.”
Wayne McFarlane – Former global head of HR, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Canada
