What our clients say about our Executive & Leadership Development programs..

“Our managers have undertaken a number of training programs over the years to assist them in their personal development however there was still a need to provide further support and guidance to help them reach the next level.

The executive coaching program has done this and as a result I have seen a significant positive change in the attitude and performance of our managers.”
Peter Gainsford

Leichhardt Council

 

"Ross's coaching approach is professional, thorough, focussed and personable. His insights and guidance have provided me with greater personal awareness and ability to deal with the uncertainties and challenges that arise in the ever changing economy and social environment. This means I will be able to achieve my goals".
Richard McMahon
Director Lending Services
ANZ Bank

 

"Ross’ Executive Coaching combines skills training with ongoing one-on-one support to help individuals explore their strengths and weaknesses. They are then able to take greater responsibility for their own development, seeing the need for change and to apply their new skills to the work situation. Ross provides the opportunity for real development that translates to real change on the job. He is very approachable and his style is to provide rigorous challenge in a supportive/non-threatening environment."

"I was in unfamiliar territory in coming to the public sector from the newspaper industry. Now after my executive coaching I get such a buzz out of managing my group."

"Three months of coaching has taught me different techniques to deal with confrontation. I learned to distance myself, to stop and think and then constructively react. I have no regrets about being coached, it teaches you to be a lot more relaxed, but you have to be very honest with yourself and with your coach. If you don't communicate openly enough, then you won't benefit."
Rosemary Jackson
