“ I just love Therese’s ability to connect with you and to make you feel you’re the most important person in the world.

Therese is so down to earth and grounded, and compassionate, and understands where you’re coming from.  She’s amazing. I would definitely work with her again.

Working with Therese has given me the confidence to be able to make the leap to do something very different, somewhere else and, know that I can do it really well.

Before working with Therese, I probably wouldn’t have had the confidence to move into the senior leadership role.  I’m starting at the beginning in terms of not having any connections, and I’m actually really enjoying it!  I’ve been there now for two months and I am surprising myself at how super quickly I’ve been able to adapt.

Professionally, I feel so much more confident in myself.  I have more self-compassion, I understand myself, I know my strengths, my weaknesses, and how I can leverage my both.  I’m a bit of a perfectionist, but Therese taught me how to be kind to myself.”

“From our first meeting, I felt comfortable with Therese, she was open and honest and her willingness to show her own vulnerability with me made me feel safe.

This enabled me to share my own fears and perceived inadequacies and failures.  Once verbalized these fears no longer had the control over me that I had given them and with Therese’s help I was able to work out strategies to overcome their effect on my professional and personal life.

My coaching experience with Therese exceeded all my expectations.  I am much happier and more comfortable with who I am, and this has enabled me to be more productive and effective as a leader and develop new professional relationships that have enhanced my job satisfaction and scope of influence.

Therese offered wisdom and personalised guidance during our journey together and this was particularly helpful when my own reflection held too many blind spots for me to separate the wood from the trees.

The greatest benefits and outcomes I achieved through working with Therese as an executive coach was insight into entrenched behaviours and beliefs that were stifling my professional and personal growth,  Once I understood how my perfectionism had impeded my natural creativity and spontaneity, and how ‘Imposter Syndrome’ had made me feel phony despite my successes, I was able to change my approach to people and life.

Positive responses and small behavioural changes have markedly increased my self-confidence and improved my resilience.”

“I am a medical practitioner and the director of a medical unit in a major teaching hospital.  I decided to work with Therese as I was struggling with team management and dynamics…

…keeping my workplace culture tidy, in other words proactive and preventative management of my unit.

Therese has taught me to see more of my future rather than everyone else’s.  I have had more time to work on my own career and growth.  What Therese has done is to help me rationalise my resources and energy levels to keep me going.

Therese has enabled me to take the stress out of managing people so I can keep growing.  Through my growth the whole team benefits as it demonstrates that I am motivated.  It sets the example.

The result?  Team prosperity with exponential results!  Under performers have really improved with measurable increases in productivity and I am no longer afraid of staff leaving.

Therese knows me so well, when we meet it always feels like having a great chat with pearls of wisdom thrown in and getting me to the right conclusions for the benefit of the staff, and also me.

Therese will equip you with the attitude, knowledge and skills you need to progress your leadership and career as well as supporting you 100% in the process.”

Claire – Associate Professor, Medical Unit

“I’m an experienced manager and a busy working mum!  I also lead a team working on policy and regulatory issues within a federal government department.

I reached out to Therese because I was struggling with work-life balance issues.  I sought assistance to clarify my own expectations of myself, and to find some tools to help me know if I was making choices that were the best for me.

Therese taught me to be kinder to myself, how to be deliberate and considerate in my interactions with others.  I’m both more strategic and more authentic with my leadership.

Results?  I recently won a Secretary’s leadership award; I’ve secured opportunities to act at the next level; and my staff say I seem happier and less stressed.

I’m looking after myself better, and I have a healthier perspective. I am very grateful for the insights and strategies Therese helped me to gain.

I found Therese highly empathetic and very good at helping me reframe things, see new perspectives and help me to be self-compassionate.”
