“Tim Jarvis has spoken to Fujitsu staff on a couple of occasions, the first to a large group of 200+ people managers and the second to a smaller group of sales high achievers. On both occasions, the audiences were captivated by Tim’s story and totally engaged. They have been motivated to take the preparation and teamwork lessons Tim provides back to use within their own teams and customer engagements. We very much value Tim’s great relationship with Fujitsu.”
