Customer Feedback

Absolutely flawed by your immense wealth of knowledge and lived experience . As the saying goes “straight from the horse’s mouth” who else can tell an EA what they need than an SES themselves from their own experience.

Thank you for imparting into our lives.

Testimonials

“Louise facilitated our agency’s first strategic planning session in many years. Her background in working in a number of Australian Government agencies and her ability to understand the complexities associated with our work meant that she was able to connect with the agency as a whole. She has a wonderful way with people and the ability to keep the energy levels high while keeping the session on track. We all found the day to be a very rewarding and constructive – many commenting it was the best strategic planning session they had attended”

Justine Ross, Chief Executive Officer, Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency

“Helen’s extensive experience as a senior public servant in policy and people functions combine to provide a complete package in a public service workplace coach and facilitator. Helen worked with me as the Senior Executive  to facilitate HBDI workshops, and then delivered personalised coaching sessions for each team member of our Tuition Protection Services team. The feedback from the workshop and coaching sessions was overwhelming positive from all team members with two particular members going on to individualised coaching programs with Helen to work with them during their transition into Executive Leadership roles. Our team particularly enjoyed Helen’s clear understanding of public service work environments, the demand driven nature of our workplan and Helen’s experience in small and large team people management. I would commend Helen to others seeking any workforce capability and team culture support.”

Melinda Hatton, Tuition Protection Service

“As a very small agency, whose effectiveness relies heavily on staff capability, the CGC was keen to map out how to support skill development over the next few years. We engaged Metis to design and develop a ‘capability roadmap’. From the start, it was clear that Metis was committed to providing a bespoke product that would reflect the CGC’s unique needs.

Metis leveraged our planning day to deepen its understanding of the organisation’s needs and to bring staff on the journey. Staff completed Metis’ tailored skill development self-assessment tool, and Metis used the findings to identify training priorities.

Metis provided a strategically-anchored roadmap, which will position the CGC to proactively manage the capability challenges ahead”
