What our clients are saying

___

“We were looking for assistance in facilitated workshops with our Leadership Group to develop leadership values and behaviours. Nicole had a very good understanding of our requirements and expectations. Nicole’s experience in this area gave us great confidence that’s she would engage with the leadership group in a positive way and help deliver the outcome we were seeking. Nicole was very well prepared and her workshop agenda and presentation materials, along with her enthusiasm and engaging style, resulted in a high energy and productive workshop. Staff were very impressed with Nicole and her facilitation skills leading to an excellent outcome for our business and leadership team.”

“As a CEO, I wanted to receive independent advice on HR matters from an experienced professional. Nicole demonstrated significant knowledge and experience, with an ability to articulate advice and ask questions that led me to the desired results. She demonstrates an enthusiastic approach and is committed to achieving agreed outcomes. I would highly recommend her as an advisor, business coach and mentor. ”

“Probably the best internally provided leadership development course I have attended in my time at Council. Many of the learning's have paid dividends instantly.”

“A lot of topics were covered during the leadership program and they have been exactly what I needed. I found the program valuable because of the skills and techniques I learnt, which have assisted me to effectively supervise and lead people. The sessions were a practical way to develop these skills. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this program and thank you Nicole and Salli for sharing your expertise with the group.”

“I really enjoyed the mentor/mentee process and learned a lot about myself as well as passed on some learnings of mine to my mentee.””

“I am pleased and extremely proud to hear our staff members say today that it’s the most valuable/best training they’ve done in their careers. Listening to that feedback today at the post program wrap up was priceless. Nicole and Salli – well done! Your style, positive energy, engagement and diligence were invaluable and a major reason for the success of the program.”
