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. 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.

A strong believer in my capability, even when I doubted myself. A woman who always took the time to check if I was OK no matter how many competing priorities she had of her own. A woman who taught me to have an open mind and open heart. To challenge boundaries, to question what’s possible, and not be afraid to learn from my mistakes. This wonderful woman is you Stacey Ashley, and I thought it very important to take the time, whilst sipping an English Breakfast tea and eating an Anzac Biscuit, to tell you how wonderful and thoughtful you are and say thank you.

This program has given me valuable tools for me to be able to succeed in my CFO role and I have learnt how to inspire and motivate myself and the teams around me. I also have re-identified the purpose of my role within the Company and have also developed skills to lead systemic change and to be the trusted expert and advisor to the MD, the Board, peers, and external stakeholders.

In 2020, I enrolled in Stacey’s 5 day ‘The Coaching Leader’ program, of course with COVID, the delivery had to be moved to an online platform. I am willing to admit, I was very hesitant to complete the program online as in other programs I have struggled to maintain my focus. Stacey encouraged me to try and I can say I was really surprised at how well the program ran. Stacey is always an engaging presenter and she lost none of her energy through the Zoom medium. Stacey is incredibly organised and observant making sure she switches delivery up or adds extra breaks if the participants (read me) started to show fatigue. The depth and breadth of Stacey’s experience provides for completely relatable stories, anecdotes and scenarios to explore. The models provided throughout the program are simple, logical, practical and accessible, they instantly translate into actions you can implement in your own daily practice. Additionally, throughout the program, Stacey models the behaviours you are learning and allows plenty of time for practice to help embed the learning and the transition from knowing to doing. I encourage leaders, regardless of their experience, to engage with Stacey through all her platforms for ideas and insights to elevate their leadership practice.
