Sue's team development session at the Port of Melbourne was exceptional, engaging the team for the full day and delivering actionable outcomes that surpassed our expectations. I highly recommend her as a Leadership Coach for organisations seeking to enhance teamwork and achieve meaningful results.

This is the second workshop I have done with Sue. They are a wealth of knowledge and I only wish we had more time to dive into more topics.

Annaliese Glatthor
Golden Plains Shire Council.

I have worked closely with Sue to improve the culture of a small but integral team within a large organisation.  Sue has a very good way of engaging the staff with the most difficult attitudes.  Her program is structured but flexible and adaptively changes along the way in accordance with how the participants are responding.  Sue is very confidential and respectful of all participants and manages to get the best out of people.  Her support and feedback has been monumental.  Sue was able to adapt her program to the virtual environment due to covid-19 restraints and has made the best of the technology available.

Carolyn Robertson
Director
Ballarat Health Services

Sue ran a tailored workshop that supported us to increase feelings of connectedness, belonging and to improve our communication and collaboration across the department. Sue facilitated a brilliant session that helped us to understand each other's working styles – and there were lots of a-ha moments for all involved. By the end of the workshop, team members described themselves feeling: connected, part of a team, enlightened, seen, optimistic and inspired. The best part is, the learnings are continuing to support us to have meaningful conversations that are strengthening our ways of working (as individuals and as a team) beyond the workshop!

Cheree Hunter
Manager, Community Strengthening & Social Planning
Brimbank City Council

I lead a team of five people who are required to deliver high quality timely legal, compliance and procurement advice. The team function is good, however, I wanted to enable them to move into a ‘great’ space. Sue delivered a half-day workshop that allowed the team to explore our own strengths and weaknesses. The workshop was extremely positive and I have been able to use the outcomes to facilitate further discussions with individuals to help guide and enhance their performance as individuals and as a team. Sue is extremely engaging and delivered the workshop in a friendly and non-confrontational manner. The team's feedback was unanimously positive. Thanks very much Sue!

Duncan Mackellar

The Victorian Government's insurer and risk adviser

I am grateful to Sue for expertly facilitating the People and Culture Team through the re-connect program. Sue was able to easily engage with the various personality styles across the team so that everyone felt heard and walked away with something new. The team is feeling more confident and connected as a result, with evidence of greater levels of collaboration between members instantly. Sue has left us with several simple tools to contribute to an inclusive and supportive team culture, along with a greater understanding each other's communication styles. This program comes highly recommended for anyone wanting to build a greater level of connection within their teams, and to move from good to great. Thanks again Sue!

Manager People and Culture
City of Moonee Valley

We brought Sue in when our Executive Team had newly been formed to ensure that we had the strong foundations to deliver together, and Sue was able to raise our awareness of effective, clear communication and of how to perform as a high-functioning team. We are a stronger, better team as a result, and we have the skills to respectfully apply rigour around the work we do together as a team.

Jessie Holmes

Sue’s Team Re-Connect workshop is highly engaging and would benefit anyone who would like to explore ways of improving team connectability, appreciation and understanding of each other’s work qualities and values.

Julie McLean,
Manager City Strategy & Development
Warrnambool City Council

Sue’s facilitation style worked so well with our team. She read the room and really gave our people the space they needed to feel confident and comfortable to share what they need and how they felt.

To hear team members saying, more than once, that ‘this is a safe space’ was a great testament to the work that Sue does and how she conducts these sessions.

Thanks Sue

Leah Rushford
Coordinator Emergency Management and Recovery
Macedon Ranges Shire Council

Sue’s calm and steady approach was a breath of fresh air and received great feedback from our entire team. Her ability to foster a supportive and collaborative environment was welcomed while providing us with practical tools and strategies to enhance our performance and communication skills. Her insights and guidance will help us navigate future challenges with confidence and clarity.

I highly recommend Sue to any organisation. Her expertise and approachable demeanour make her invaluable to any professional development initiative.

Many thanks again for running the Team Re-Connect workshop with us . The event generated not just a lot of positive interaction on the day itself but much praise afterwards as well. 

Michael Rainsborough
Professor of Strategic Theory, Academic Principal
Australian War College

Sue provides an engaging and thought-provoking approach to building the foundations of an ‘unshakeable team’ culture. Sue was able to gently explore the individual ways that team members seek connection and appreciation and raise our understanding of each other’s values and motivations.

Prue McTaggart
Manager Economic Development and Tourism

Our team recently participated in a training session focused on team building and self-reflection, and it was an excellent experience. The facilitator did a fantastic job of keeping everyone engaged throughout the session and created a supportive environment for open discussion and reflection. The facilitators knowledge and delivery style made the session both valuable and enjoyable. The feedback from our staff has been overwhelmingly positive. We highly recommend this training for any organisation looking to strengthen teamwork and encourage personal growth.
