For more than two decades, Manie has worked with leaders at all levels in many different organisations and countries around the world. Here's a couple of recommendations from some of those he worked with or are still working with (most of the originals can be viewed on his personal LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maniebosman/).
"Manie Bosman is one of the most sincere, caring human beings that I know. His knowledge of how the brain works and how to use that skilfully in coaching, consulting, and in fact any work with human beings, makes him my absolute go-to-person for corporate work. Manie is a giver. He's always giving and plowing back into the communities he's part of. Wherever I see Manie at work, he creates a feeling of goodwill and working towards the common good. He treats people with respect, and always leave me feeling good after interacting with him. His work ethic is impeccable and I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Manie for making the world a better place!"
- Liesel T
"Manie is an excellent coach, facilitator, and consultant. His passion to take a person, group, or organisation from being good to being excellent is backed by his deep knowledge and expertise on leadership and self development. I've dealt with Manie on various levels and can testify of his commitment to continually improve himself and his offerings. Manie's knowledge is cutting edge and he has a great ability to transfer his knowledge to those who need it. I highly recommend Manie as a Leadership Consultant, facilitator, trainer, and coach."
- Stephen S
"Manie has adapted the training to the needs of the group, giving us a really personalized training on how to lead in the 21st century. He gave us insight and tools to continue to grow and develop ourselves. His interaction with the group was excellent."
- Xavier L
"Manie Bosman is an innovative change-agent with a vision far in advance of his time. He is an excellent facilitator with a strong ability to encourage and transform people’s mind. His coaching style involves scientific studies and leadership business cases that combined with his charisma and professionalism are an excellent ground to develop and leverage leadership skills for everyone in the work environment. I strongly recommend him for any strategic leadership initiative."
- Thiago d P
"Manie is a visionary who is down to earth and realistic about the tasks at hand, while inspiring people to achieve the impossible. He always leads from the front, and everything he organises is brilliantly researched and executed. Possessing an extraordinary skills set, across a wide spectrum of activities and subjects, he is definitely someone you can depend on and learn a lot from."
- Miles P
"Since meeting Manie for the first time more than a decade ago, I was thrilled by his vivid understanding and creative entrepreneurial approach to leadership. Manie has always showed an interest in any challenge that push the boundaries of conventionalism. His skill to listen and then analyze strategically and critically, has helped me rethink my own development and ideas on my leadership journey in new ways many times. Maybe the most inspiring part of knowing and working with Manie is the knowledge that his strategies are founded on firm beliefs and values, but that does not make him in any way unwilling to change his thinking or approach. But be prepared: do not try to feed Manie old or second rate information or models. Being cutting edge in his approach, he expects nothing less from others, and will never deliver anything beyond absolute excellence. I seriously recommend Manie and any team members he brings with him within the Strategic Leadership Institute.""
- Dries L

Manie's firm morals and high integrity inspires those around him to work towards their goals while simultaneously evolving and growing in their own humanity and spirituality. Manie is faithful, honest, trustworthy, hardworking and never quits. He is a values-based leader who continuously inspires and motivates others on the highest level."

- Andrew B
"Manie Bosman has been one of the few presenters I have worked with consistently for the past 10 years or so. This is because he is an outstanding presenter who has a unique way of holding his audience's attention. He is also very knowledgeable in neuroscience and has an unique and interesting way of applying it to different scenarios and circumstances. Manie Bosman is professional and he takes his work very seriously."
- Joe K
"Manie is exceptional communicator, his multiple experiences and anecdotes offer a clear vision and are of great value. In addition, he perfectly relates the theoretical aspects to their practical application. This helps people to understand the real-life applications of what he teaches and and helps to improve or to solve questions you might have in your job."

He is willing to be open to the unknown and he promotes an active positive way to make the wolrd a better place. I recommend partnering with Manie, as he is a respectful attentive and caring professional with so many resources to allow you to give the best in what you do.."
- Cristina C
"Manie's coaching has taken me from someone who always believed I could be a good leader but just did not have the confidence or courage to take big steps. He helped me to identify my strong points and motivated me to create dialogues with my team instead of just ordering them. I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to learn from this man."
- Mandlenkosi S
"I have never thought about leadership in this way. I feel as if I now have the tools to lead people in ways that would benefit my team in so many ways. Thank you Manie for a life-changing experience!”"
- Sarah S
"Manie’s coaching and level of professionalism, coupled with his knowledge of the subject matter, is unsurpassed. He understood my strength profile to the extent that he could draw parallels with my colleagues’ strengths to offer ‘insight into the dynamics between our profiles. What made this comparison even more remarkable was the fact that he had coached them over a year prior to my joining the programme. I will categorically recommend Manie and the Strategic Leadership Institute and regard it as an honour to have been one of his protégés.!"
- Ockie S
"We initially started with my Exco team but seeing what the Strengths Programme and the neuro-approach did for us, we decided to roll it out to the whole company. Even those who were somewhat sceptical at first, bought in and became some of its biggest advocates after experiencing the impact it was making. I can honestly say that for me as a senior leader and person, this programme changed about 90% of how I was thinking about leadership and how I managed my people. I strongly recommend Manie and his team at SLI if you are looking for transformational change that lasts."
