Premiere Speakers Bureau

Exploding onto the professional speaker’s circuit, nationally and
internationally, this young, dynamic rising star is fast becoming a
keynote motivational speaker of choice. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Kivi
Bernhard was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. Kivi has
combined his acute business acumen and success in building a
multimillion dollar international diamond business with his passion for
Africa and its wildlife. Using the hunting habits and techniques of the
African leopard, perhaps the most successful feline predator on earth,
Kivi draws metaphors of personal and corporate leadership, trust and
success that will leave you spellbound.
Kivi Bernhard is one of those amazing people you meet every once in a
while and never forget. With an unusual synthesis, he is, at once, an
orthodox Jew, passionate family man, adventurer, accomplished
business entrepreneur and renowned speaker. CEO and founder of Kivi
International LLC, an internationally known wholesale loose diamond
distributor, Kivi’s business network reads like a current edition of
“Who’s Who?” Tapping into this asset has allowed him access to the
minds and spirit of some of the most accomplished names in the local
and global business arena. A keen student of life with a huge appetite
for laughter and love, Kivi is an accomplished and published musician,
Judo medalist and gemological consultant.
Kivi’s “other love,” the African bush, has become part and parcel of his
fiber as a human being. He has an amazing ability to synthesize his life
long passion and study of Africa’s predators with timeless life lessons
across the spectrum of human experience. Often described as an
amalgamation of “Crocodile Dundee” and “Jerry McGuire with a
yarmulke,” Kivi is a riveting and captivating orator. Equally at home
tracking lion deep in the African bush as he is in the executive suites of
a Fortune 500, he will regale you with enthralling stories of both. A
consummate professional, Kivi Bernhard is a fountain of positive energy
and human potential. His personal journey, victories and losses, have
given him a unique laboratory in which to study the DNA of this thing
we call “success.”
Kivi Bernhard will make you laugh, he will make you cry, but most of
all, he will lead you to yourself. A world expert on “getting your insides
to match your outsides,” Kivi defines this as the standard bearer of
happiness. Like the African leopard, his message of “inside out,” in
which “who you are” and “what you are” are one and the same, is so
simple yet so profound. One must identify and trust his own “genetic
toolbox.” Kivi explains that, “success is what happens when we behave
like the individual people we were designed to be.”
Inspired by his passion for Africa, a successful business experience and a
G-d given talent to share with others, Kivi Bernhard offers a truly
unique keynote experience. His message is so applicable and relevant to
the individual, the team, the corporation and the organization. It is so
powerfully delivered through “The Hunt For Success” TM, “Business
Gone Wild” TM or “Leadership Gone Wild” TM. If you are booking a
speaker, “book” no further!
