I am confident that the management tools we were introduced to (including those related to time management, stress management and work-load management) will prove extremely useful in my day-to-day activities and my overall productivity in the workplace. The content centered around what we need to be effective leaders was excellent and I believe it will assist me as I further develop in this area.

Loved the entire course and would love to do more of this type training."

-JJ Richards and Sons Pty Ltd

"The interactive and enthusiasm of the trainer made the session more enjoyable and entertaining; good approach to ensure participation from the trainees. Good technique of learning by having different ways of teaching the same topic."

-Arcare Pty Ltd

"I thoroughly enjoyed delving deeply into the four profiles and gaining an insight into the thought processes of people with a different profile to myself, which helped me to identify possible reasons for why there has been a disconnect at times with staff that have a very different profile to myself. Anne was fantastic at encouraging specific examples/current issues with staff to workshop in order to identify the barriers to effective communication/outcomes and what different approaches exist that might have more of a win/win result. Anne is one of the best facilitators I've had for a course like this. I found it useful that she could talk from her own experiences, rather than just being a trainer teaching course content, and she had an excellent way of drawing the answers out of people/continuing to re-frame things until we were able to provide her with the answers/solutions, rather than just telling us them (i.e. a better approach to a situation that had been brought up). Anne's easy going and enthusiastic delivery kept the content interesting and engaging, never once being perturbed by the 'less than enthusiastic' attendees. Thanks Anne, I got stacks out of the training!!!"

-JJ Richards and Sons Pty Ltd

"Came into this course wanting to fine tune a few area's.

QML Pathology

"The highlights of the training were that it pointed out how to identify opportunities to change, grow and improve in many fields. It showed us, by questioning and listening to everyone with a positive attitude, answers come from the least likely places. We learned about leadership and leadership characteristics. It showed us how to work effectively with and the dos and don’ts of interacting with different personality styles. It showed us how to effectively give feedback and the engagement of groups. We were shown how to overcome generational differences, made aware of listening mistakes that are made and shown the skills of active listening. The training also highlighted that with strong leadership and goals, clear rolls and responsibilities, effective policies and procedures, and team credibility, these 4 elements together made up a high performance team."

"If I could give Gil 11/10 I would. I have had trouble with training courses in the past when I quickly become disinterested and stop paying attention. Gil kept me focused and engaged the whole time and kept the energy of the room high and engaged."
