What other organizations say about Rod Berger

Dr. Rod Berger’s interview at [our] 2025 Conference was extraordinary. Some interviewers center themselves, but not Rod. He is instead like the light at the end of the day — ‘magic hour light’ — that makes everything look warmer and more appealing. His thoughtful questions and engaging style created a space for deep reflection, inspiration, and heartfelt storytelling, allowing [the interviewee’s] wisdom and passion to shine. It was more than an interview; it was a masterclass on how to lead with curiosity, respect, authenticity, and story. His approach reminds us of the power of meaningful conversation to illuminate history, elevate voices, and inspire action.
