Testimonial (read more...)

There are many characteristics which differentiate high performing organisations from the mainstream and even more consultants, tools and ideas to help a CEO create one. Having been exposed to culture changing models and philosophies during my years in mining with CRA [now the global mining company - Rio Tinto], I was looking for something similar to help stimulate a profound change in the way our staff engage, interact and perform. When Mark came along and agreed to craft a Leadership Training programme to suit Sydney Ports' needs, I naively expected something similar to my own experiences. I was therefore delighted to find that Mark has developed his own and far more comprehensive and usable models to help people understand themselves and how to be a better person and a better leader. The UHM has been life changing for many of our staff and a great investment for the company. It has been life changing for me. I now appreciate the power of engaging the heart as well as the head. This understanding alone is like a keystone for many other ideas and models I live and work by. Be prepared to open your mind and understand yourself and others for the first time - Grant Gilfillan, CEO & Director, Sydney Ports Corporation

This has been the best training I have participated in throughout my working life and am certainly trying hard at putting into practice the concepts of the course. It has made an impact in our group… Thanks Mark - Filomena Palmer, Project Manager, CitiPower Powercor
