  • Here's what recent clients had to say:
    "This course exceeded my expectations...was interactive, relevant, and very 'real life'. I'm leaving with many new tools and skills in speaking to a varied range of audiences. Sally was engaging at all levels. She gave us her personal stories to connect with the group and made it all seem so easy and possible. I highly recommend it to my colleagues" Wendy Jones, Entrepreneur, Project Manager

    "Despite the logistical challenge of facilitating to 100+ people at a time, the conference was a huge success. This was due to Sally's ability to engage the team, her high level of energy and humour and intuitive understanding of the situation. As well as her capability to deliver, Sally brings a high level of professionalism and ability which makes it a pleasure working with her!"
    Martin Percival, Managing Director, Achieve Global

    I attended a breakfast where Sally was the speaker with a focus on "creating the best elevator pitch". Sally was amazing, she engaged the entire group of attendees, got us all up and into action, showed us ways to use our voices, hold our head up high, think outside the square, being more confident and positive both in thinking and demeanor, and was extremely entertaining in doing so. I am seriously considering attending further training courses and her retreat as well. If you have the opportunity to hear and see Sally in action, do not hesitate, go for it. You will love it.
    Virginia Stallard, Owner, Vision Accounting Solutions

    23 May 2012 - The Enlightened Leader's Retreat

    For three days this May we are inviting senior leaders to join us in a journey of exploration. This is an investigative retreat for leaders ready to explore within themselves areas that are often overlooked in today’s corporate environment.

    Participants will identify their core beliefs and values, both personal and business.
    They will be challenged to look at these and identify what events in their history have contributed to their formation. Group and one on one discussions, with the course facilitators and other participants, will awaken the awareness of these beliefs and values in the context of being an ‘enlightened’ leader.

    Are You an Enlightened Leader?

    Do you want to have leadership impact driven by a deeper understanding of the bigger picture?

    Do you value people above profit while recognising that profit is healthy and one of the core reasons for business activity?

    Do you want to grow people and your organisation quickly, in pace with the rapid rate at which our collective consciousness is transforming?

    Are you driven by a desire to support your family, as well as a desire to contribute to the greater good of the community?

    Do you have a deeper awareness of who you truly are, and are your values and beliefs in alignment with this?

    Do you conduct your business activity with integrity and feel strongly about not compromising your values for the sake of profit?

    Do you want to be an agent of change in the cultural paradigm shift?

    Retreat Outcomes:

    Come away with answers and questions to catalyse the unfolding of the ‘enlightened leader’ within you.

    Unlock your deeper desire to be an ‘enlightened leader’.

    Expand your leadership style, based on awakened wisdom.

    Feel refreshed, rejuvenated and re-energised.

    Group and one on one discussions with course facilitators and other participants.
    Presentations by the course facilitators.
    Daily physical exercise at a level suited to each participant.
