MORGAN MCKINLEY - APAC REGIONAL DIRECTOR

“We have had so much positive feedback on the conference, it’s very encouraging. Regarding People of Influence specifically, you must be so tired of having people constantly raving about how amazing you are.”

Her delivery on the night was professional, credible and relevant – and garnered much laughter!”

GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY - DEAN OF EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES

LINKEDIN - SALES PERFORMANCE MANAGER

“With Shaun it’s an experience. He generates an amazing energy in the room. He’s able to personalise the issues in an organisation, and also bring to bear a wealth of lessons learned from other industries. A true professional, one of the best facilitators I’ve ever witnessed.”

ORICA - GLOBAL MANAGER OF TRAINING IMPLEMENTATION,

“Michelle recently facilitated a fantastic one hour Influencing workshop at our annual conference for a group of 100 Senior Recruiters and Talent Leaders. Several times that day, attendees walked up to me and said things like “Thank you for Michelle’s session – triple thumbs up!” From an Event Producers perspective, Michelle was a dream to work with – professional, organised, terrific content and a presentation style that touched hearts and minds.”

ATC EVENTS & MEDIA - GM EVENTS

“Michelle’s presentation left me feeling excited and inspired! With a workshop on the art of first impressions, Michelle dove into the psychology behind this fascinating logic. Within my industry, this has really enabled me to gain more insight into how I can build my skill set in order to identify positive attributes and find continuous success!”
