I have learnt so much from Stacey.
Stacey recently trained me in Cert IV Business and Workplace Coaching.
Stacey presented the information in a cohesive and progressive manner applying the ideal combination of learning and practice. I can honestly say that every minute was completely valuable.
Stacey is engaging, patient and present. She provides stabilising support both during and following the course. Stacey gives time for each person to ask questions and provides answers that are meaningful and insightful whilst also keeping the momentum and pace of the information flow.
I have learnt so much from Stacey and feel very confident my knowledge and experience will continue to grow as I continue to engage with her.

Stacey is a talented speaker and a thoughtful coach

Her presentation style is open and inviting to questions, engaging, and thorough. Her enthusiasm is infectious, makes it fun to learn, and easy to remember.

I highly recommend Stacey and her team.

I cannot speak more highly enough of Stacey’s collaborative approach, her ability to listen and hear what is required. Then her ability to design and deliver a fit-4-team program.
I began working with Stacey by attending a couple of her webinars. This led me to her books and more webinars. What Stacey said, and the tools she provided when she said it, as I try to be a Leader to 20+ staff, resonated with me. “Lead Yourself First” became a foundation for me. Also, out-of-the-blue, Stacey gave me a call to enquire about my key areas of focus in leading and if her webinar had assisted.
Stacey and I discussed ideas for a foundational building block program across the three teams, to help the managers lead their team and assist in leading the combined branch. Stacey put together a package of individual coaching for the 3 managers plus a high-power-team building block series of workshops. These ran from July to November and were a resounding success for the managers, the teams and to assist me in setting the tone.
I cannot speak more highly enough of Stacey’s collaborative approach, her ability to listen and hear what is required. Then her ability to design and deliver a fit-4-team program.

Over the 12 month Diploma course the coaches learnt great coaching skills through experiential learning, which has resulted in significant increases in all key metrics of performance in our department. Additionally the great intangibles that come along with having effective coaching, such as high staff engagement & low attrition continue to reinforce the benefits of the skills the team acquired. Stacey was also very flexible in dealing with our ever-changing training needs. We have been able to create a dialogue around a ‘Coaching Culture’ & the momentum around this continues to increase. I would highly recommend Stacey’s program for workplace coaching to anyone who is looking to increase their business’ performance, staff ‘buy in’ and customer satisfaction.

Your note was a timely reminder today – lots of things changing hour by hour, many things out of my control, and it has been incessant so thank you from the bottom of my heart – you gave me pause to remember all that I have to be grateful for.
I just wanted to say thank you for my afternoon tea which has just arrived.
I so connected with this story in many ways – from sitting around the open fire with my Grandfather, sharing his stories about what he had done on the farm that day, to walking into my Father’s family homestead and seeing the fresh milk sitting on top of the fridge with the crocheted milk topper. To spending countless afternoons with my Mum and talking through everything – from world affairs, to what’s happening with the neighbour’s, to what I wanted to do with my life, to listen to her open-mindedness and being ahead of her times in many ways – the little things that we all take for granted especially now that we are restricted with many things in our lives.
