Kerry van Huyssteen, Owner of Ember Connect, facilitated a fire walking experience for one of our Leadership Programs at The Unlimited. Her knowledge and skill in taking us through this amazing experience was by far the very best we have experienced to date and as a business we have hosted over 50 fire walks as part of one of our Leadership Programs. She was very professional in her approach. Her use of humour and story-telling along with her enthusiasm, energy and encouragement got all our people excited and enthusiastic about their experience as opposed to fearful and anxious. We all had an amazing experience and can’t wait to use Kerry again. Thank you to you and your husband Kerry, for making our time with you so memorable!

SRK Consulting (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd. (Engineers and Scientists) hired Ember to run a fire walk at our company Year End Function.  Kerry ran a professional, well organised session, and the fire walk was a great success.  All attending the function will agree that it was a very empowering experience – allowing individuals to overcome fears and mind-sets, re-establishing and strengthening belief in one’s self.  The Firewalk experience was a fantastic team building experience, allowing cross disciple and management level interaction and support.

As an ad agency, we are always on the lookout for something interesting and different to add to our annual conference. We decided on a Firewalk as it was an opportunity to not only put our minds over matter, but to prove that encouragement can take a team places.

Kerry’s psychology background came to the fore in our preparation for the walk and she brought up some very valid thinking which got the team talking and we were able to tie the event back to the theme of our conference, which centred around brave thinking. A few people did not think they would be able to do the walk. However, Kerry got every one of us over in the end, some embarking on the journey across the coals several times.

Kerry, thank you for an amazing and unforgettable Firewalk. Many of us still have our keepsake piece of coal on our desk as a constant reminder of our feat.

I must thank you for all of the encouragement you gave us and the very good and professional atmosphere you created during the firewalking experience. My team enjoyed your kind and direct way of leading each and every person to confront his/her limits.  The experience showed us the great power of the mind, the importance which personal conviction has in what you can do and achieve everything that you set for  yourself.
