"Brian Burgess is a positive, energetic communicator with the ability to inspire and motivate those around him."

"I found the seminar insightful, with a lot of wisdom and practical guidance.  It gave me perspective and conviction in things I tend to hesitate to enforce, and I learned how to motivate unmotivated kids.  Awesome!"

"The principles of reward and consequences were outstanding, and they worked wonderfully.  You have incredible insights on the strong-willed child."

I loved the part about positively reinforcing our children, spending time to make them feel important, instilling values so that they learn to make a positive contribution to society.

“Brian and Sally Burgess led a conference at the church where I serve as Children’s Minister.  They are gifted communicators that provided practical solutions to parenting problems.  They personalized the conference to meet the specific needs of our parents.  The material was relevant and well delivered.  Without exception every parent that attended was delighted and requested that Forefront Families hold future conferences at our church. 

"I am thankful that God placed this couple in my life so that I can help equip the parents that I serve”

"We recently hosted a parenting seminar run by Forefront Families. It was run over one whole day, which was both practical and enjoyable.

"The content was interesting and very relevant and was well presented. It was especially useful within the New Zealand context due to the Burgess' origin, as many of today’s parenting resources are overseas based.  Printed notes were given to each attendee, covering a large percentage of the information covered in the seminar. I felt this was a wonderful addition to the course as it allowed for full concentration, rather than frantic scribbling!

"Sally and Brian were both very natural and comfortable in their presentation styles and were a pleasure both to work with and to listen to. They interacted well with the course participants and had a very easy-going, relaxed nature combined with a high level of organization.

"We, at Massey Presbyterian, very much enjoyed our time with Forefront Families and would recommend them to any other church or group without hesitation."
