Resilience Builders Reviews

David Buttifant at Resilience Builders is a highly experienced leader with a genuine passion for empowering teams. The program's focus on developing a greater level of trust in our own abilities and within our team was incredibly relevant and beneficial. By creating a safe and inclusive space, Resilience Builders equipped our team with practical strategies to overcome challenges and bounce back stronger. The program’s positive impact on our communication and collaboration is undeniable and we are absolutely better for the entire experience. I would highly recommend Resilience Builders to anyone seeking to foster strong leadership skills, enhance teamwork and cultivate resilience. Thanks, team, for an unforgettable experience!

I am the co-founder and President of The Code 9 Foundation. A foundation that supports professional first responders who are living with mental health injuries sustained as part of their service to the community. After teaming up with the Resilience Builders, I was fortunate to be a part of a group of nine (mostly mentally injured) first responders that were led by Dave and Nick on the Overland Trek, Tasmania in mid June 2022. What transpired throughout the week was that an atmosphere of trust and growth was cultivated and due to this, I have never been part of a group that has bonded so quick. The exercises and activities that Dave and Nick instigated and led to some serious internal growth and belief with new tools in our mental health tool boxes. I cannot recommend the Resilience Builders enough. Cheers gents, a brilliant week had. Mark Thomas Founder and President, The Code 9 Foundation

This trip was a life changing experience. I fully recommend to all people to complete. The facilitators were amazing the whole way through and get involved in a positive, fun and supportive way. I have come away feeling so much stronger within myself - it is not a cure but it is a huge step in the right direction. I can not thank Resilience Builders enough!!!

David, Nick and Ben are highly engaging and experienced professionals to lead you through an amazing trip. I got a lot more than I expected out of it. A bit of pain, a bit of honesty, a bit of courage and a whole lot of fun. I have already recommended the program to friends and colleagues as the self-learnings and skills I gained are a serious game changer!

Interesting and empowering session. Very doable timewise and worth that time to pick up some pragmatic tips as an individual and a team leader.

Nic and Dav have an authentic and challenging voice that they use to connect with young people. When they left, our students were inspired and motivated to tackle their senior years of schooling with confidence. Thanks for visiting Padua College. Please come back again.

Everyone can learn to be more resilient. Nick and David at Resilience Builders are passionate, supportive and insightful. They encourage participation without judgment or restraints. I'd highly recommend resilience training to anyone.

The Resilience Builders Family Program was an amazing experience to take the time out with my teen, explore the beauty of Cradle Mountain and learn about our key strengths and how to manage resilience through practical experience. The guides and program facilitators helped us both mentally and physically and with my daughter we learned a great deal about ourselves as well as each other. Highly recommend this program.

An incredible experience with my teenage daughter in one of the most amazing environments Australia has to offer. David, Nick and the RB team delivered on their commitment to each of the families to achieve a physical and mental challenge through a shared goal and their expertise in safely guiding us up and down Cradle Mountain. The reward for all of was achieving the outcome with our children and each other. The trust that was formed then enabled lots of fun and open discussion with the group in all other activities throughout our stay. Highly recommended to all parents and children to take some time to be together, off the grid and allow the Resilience Builders to weave their magic

David and Nick were very impressive and provided a thoughtful and engaging resilience course for our group that provided them with a new skill set that the group can use in both their personal and professional lives.

The students selected to actively participated in the Resilience Builders program demonstrated a significant improvement in their visible high performance behaviours including but not limited to organisation, motivation, work ethic and their ability to adapt & cope; namely resilience. David, Nick & their team have been flexible, understanding, reliable & responsive moreover, they have been incredibly wonderful to work with and our school is sincerely appreciative of the working relationship we have forged with them. We will be continuing our schools engagement with their services into the future.

In one of our most challenging years to date the Resilience Builders program provided tools and strategies for my workforce to cope and thrive in the unfamiliar work environment post COVID. The real and tangible data through surveys, engagement and exercises showed significant uplift in all four pillars of resilience. Delivered in 1 hour workshops weekly, my team found the program engaging and relevant. David, Nick and Dan did a great job tailoring the program specific to the needs of group & most importantly the things they learnt were life skills that are relevant in both work & personal. I would recommend the Resilience Builders program to any staff at any time, and even more particularly in these challenging times. Massive thank you to David, Nick & Dan for all your support.

I have been fortunate enough to have been working intermittently with David over the past 12 months. I consider him to be a subject matter expert in human performance and able to convey his depth of knowledge and experience in a way that is highly relatable and readily applicable to all facets of life. I can’t speak highly enough of Resilience Builders, in particularly David, and look forward to further interactions with the group overall.

This course was extremely valuable to me and my staff in helping get everyone in the right head space for difficult times. David an Nick's hsaring, experience and knowledge was exceptional and i would recommend any business to use their services.

I've completed one of the courses recently and am now embarking on a second. The content is informative and backed by science (which really appeals to me) and has been a regular 'vitamin shot' of sound and practical advice which I have been able to implement. Raising awareness of what I could do better and how I could weave these practices into my daily life, has meant that I have stopped overthinking and starting 'doing'. Thanks Nick and David. Your no-nonsense approach wrapped with humour and really interesting stories, together with my pages and pages of notes that I write during and after each session are making me a much better person :) Nikki Sadler, General Manager, Business Benchmark Group

I've had the great pleasure of utilising the services of Resilience Builders over many years and particularly the services of David Buttifant. If you require top end professional development, particularly in the area of leadership and orgasniasational performance (particularly high-performance) you can't go past Resilience Builders.

Resilience Builders is able to work with individuals and corporates on creating a high performance culture whilst maintaining both the wellbeing of the individuals and system. Resilience Builders create long term behavioural change and indicators that allow for effective measurement. This allows individuals and businesses to be more aligned with purpose and creating an impact. I unequivocally believe it has shaped my own personal traits where I have been able to build a greater capacity in myself.

Resilience Builders world-class experience through Nick and David is unquestionable, but their authenticity and genuine care for people & wellbeing is what sets them apart for me. I took the Resilience trek to Everest Base Camp with my 14 year old daughter in 2017. I had hoped it would provide her with perspective and strength, but couldn’t have imagined how we both have benefited.
