Executive Coaching

Graham’s coaching has been very professional and thorough. I appreciated your flexibility at times to fit me in and your ability to draw out ideas and opportunities for personal development. I have undertaken executive coaching in previous roles and did not find it as useful as this. Graham’s honesty, integrity and genuine interest has been very positive and made this an enjoyable exercise.

Executive Manager in leading bank

Graham is a thorough and insightful coach. Prepared and considerate. Asks great questions to surface out the right problem areas or areas in need of improvement. He has a great way of giving context to the problem areas that make one think hard and reflect on one’s own blind spots.

Ben, GM South East Asia Markets, Red Hat Asia Pacific

Graham was exactly what I had hoped for in a coach, engaging, challenging and insightful all delivered in ways which led me to find my answers rather than listen to his. Most importantly, I left each of our discussions with something that improved the work of me and my team and this has continued long after our series of monthly sessions finished.

David, Executive Director at Qld Health

In my experience, Graham has a great talent in being able to engage with people right away. Always with a smile, he helped me to reflect on particularly challenging aspects of work and my development goals in ways that made them clear and actionable, and he was always the first one to celebrate progress made against those goals.

Patrick, APAC Sales Manager, Open Source Software

I’ve worked with several individual and team development coaches throughout my career, and Graham is excellent. He has the ability to guide clients to get closer to their desired end state through a variety of methods and is great at catering his style to fit the style of the individual and team he’s working with. His pointed questions, vast library of applicable resources and ability to reference real-life situations he’s encountered throughout his career made coaching sessions and follow-up work engaging and thought-provoking at each step. I learned a ton, and my team and I gained so much from our work with Graham.

Derika, Brand Builder, Beverage Industry, San Diego

Grahams professionalism and integrity are beyond reproach. He has a strong skill set in leadership and coaching, facilitating the process to ensure goals are set and pursued.

Paul, Director Benevolent Living Aged Care

Graham worked with me over several months as a Career Coach assisting me with improving my skills to enhance my performance and personal outlook to better lead my team of engineers. The experience has been life changing. Work relationships that were difficult and at a point where I’d given up hope have become productive partnerships. Stress levels are significantly lower and output from myself and team has increased.

Robyn’s experience, down to earth nature, humour and valuable practical strategies give only one result- training experiences people want to come back for more of. I highly recommend Robyn as a trainer if you want a training program producing results back in the workplace.

Strategic Planning Testimonials

Graham, thank you so much for an excellently facilitated day.

You kept us wonderfully to time. Your anecdotes were very apt and helped greatly to focus all of us on the purpose of the day and on the specific tasks we were involved with at the time. We came a lot further on the day than I would have ever imagined was possible with such a large and diverse range of service stakeholders (service providers, purchasers, sub-contractors and interested parties), some with quite competing interests. Your skills at keeping us all able to discuss diverse perspectives, whilst focusing on “excellence of service” managed to steer all of us along paths that potentially could have created much conflict.

You showed an enormous ability to both understand and yet bring the diversity of views for us all to share and enhance the richness & depth of the final documents produced on the day.

Health Care Service Director, QLD Health
