Shirley Anne was appointed to assist the Perth Blood Institute (PBI) in the development of our strategic plan. As CEO of PBI, I worked closely with her in the lead up to the Board strategic planning workshop and subsequently in completing the process. Working with Shirley Anne was a delight. Not only is she an engaging facilitator, her workshop process was both thorough and thought-provoking, as she skillfully led us through the day. Her practical and strategic approach, together with her broad experience and empathy, ensured a positive working environment and a productive outcome. I highly recommend Shirley Anne as an experienced and capable facilitator and consultant, and I very much look forward to future opportunities to work with her

“After making the decision to enlist the help of business coach I conduced some research and quickly found Shirley Anne's previous experience and organised practical approach suited my needs perfectly. After completing several sessions together, I now have a raft of additional skills and tools that help me manage stress, prioritise my workload, achieve a better work life balance and be the best team leader I can. I have no hesitation in recommending Shirley Anne.”

“After meeting with multiple coaches, I decided that Shirley Anne's down to earth, tangible approach would best suit what I was looking for. Though the journey has taught me a lot, I would summarise it by saying that I have been challenged to think differently. This has made me approach my interactions with both colleagues and clients in a more focused manner - which has had the additional benefit of putting more time back into my calendar! A miracle in itself! While finding the time to work with a coach is almost always a challenge, this was highly worthwhile and I would gladly do it all over again.”
