“engaging, convincing, driving discussion to synthesis”
Koen Bouckaert
Vice President Strategy & Business Development, Alpro
"I worked for several years with Bruce and witnessed him moderate various Climate Saver Workshops, all highly effectively and action orientated. You always knew when Bruce was involved that the outcome would be crystal clear. Yet one experience was really memorable – a report back (to me) after an intensive three day 18 hour a day strategy workshop with global participants. Bruce orchestrated something that was more like a theatre performance with the team members coached to really provide a team display. Highly effective and unlike the average “wrap up and report back”. It worked, well."

“Bruce is an excellent moderator and facilitator. He has stage presence and speaks well. He combines clear authority with a deft and diplomatic touch with participants. I’d recommend him any day to lead workshops and get from difficult discussions to outputs.”
Samantha Smith, Leader Global Climate and Energy Initiative, WWF International
Bruce at IMD
“Bruce is a highly skilled communicator. I first met him when I was a Professor at IMD ad he was leading a WWF Climate Savers program to determine how best to partner with multi-national companies. Bruce is highly skilled communicator. He is effective in a wide variety of settings including one-on-ones, small and large groups, with peers, direct reports and bosses. He commands attention when delivering formal presentations and easily and fluently manages group processes.
He thinks through issues rigorously and is able to solve difficult problems with effective solutions. He often sees problems that might not be immediately obvious. He is particularly adept at understanding how and why people behave in a certain way. He looks beyond the obvious.”
Professor Corey Billington
“I had the pleasure of attending the WWF Climate Savers meeting in Rotterdam in 2012, which was facilitated by Bruce Haase. Bruce was a key element in making the meeting a constructive, content based, engaging, inspiring and fun meeting, which I believe was possible due to Bruce’s approach to the process, his deep content knowledge and personality,"

Bruce at WWF Climate Savers
“I worked with Bruce in his responsibilities for the WWF Climate Savers program. In particular I co-led a workshop to address climate change using open innovation techniques. It was a pleasure to work with him and to see him in action. Bruce is highly knowledgeable about using open innovation techniques in sustainability contexts. Bruce proved to be highly knowledgeable on all issues related to the interaction of businesses with climate change. He was extremely effective at managing the Climate Savers program. He has his heart and soul in sustainability. His enthusiasm is infectious.”
Professor Rhoda Davidson
"It has been great working with Bruce because he
is efficient and engaging and knows both the business issues and the
environmental issues. For three years in a row Bruce helped me organise the
annual workshop of Climate Savers, WWF’s flagship programme for corporate
climate leadership. With >50 representatives from >30 multinationals,
participant expectations were high but not always easy to reconcile. Bruce made
critical improvements to the agenda and meeting format and did an awesome job
moderating the events, making all three of them a success."

“Bruce is iemand die zich graag eerst verdiept in de mensen wier optredens hij
introduceert. Daardoor wéét hij daadwerkelijk wie hij aankondigt. Zijn aan- en afkondigingen zijn correct en zijn manier van praten is duidelijk en goed verstaanbaar.
Hij is zich bovendien bewust van hoe hij bij zijn publiek moet aansluiten.”
Joris Cornelissen, directeur
Festival voor het Afrikaans 2013
“It’s a pleasure working with Bruce, to think ‘out of the box’ and ‘seeing’ things from a different perspective supports triggering creativity in my work environment.”
