Exploding onto the professional speakers' 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. He 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 success that will leave you spellbound.
Kivi Bernhard is one of those unusual people you meet every once in a while and never forget. He is at once an Orthodox Jew, passionate family man, 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 spirits of some of the biggest names in the local and global business arena.
A keen student of life with a huge appetite for adventure, 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 company. Kivi will enthrall you with 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 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. 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 offers a truly unique keynote experience. His message is applicable and relevant to the individual, the team, the corporation, and the organization. It is powerfully delivered through “The Hunt for Success” TM. Kivi Bernhard is a “must have” speaker, if you are looking for a one-of-kind keynote and successful event.
