Opening to the day was excellent
“Sonja’s opening to the day was excellent, both for setting boundaries and non-confrontationally setting the mood to be productive. The content of discussion was excellent.”
- Dr Mal, Board Director
I felt comfortable from the start
“Your approach was friendly but firm. You made it feel like you had already taken the time to research our group and what we needed to achieve, and I felt comfortable from the start. When you had to intervene and move things along you managed to do it seamlessly.”
- John K, Board Director
Comprehensive approach to planning…maximised our valuable time together
“[Our organisation] had the pleasure of Sonja leading our most recent Strategy Planning Day. Sonja has a warm and genuine personality and was always a pleasure to work with. Her comprehensive approach to planning meant that she was completely across what we wanted to achieve and ensured that the Board maximised every minute of our valuable time together.
Sonja’s professional experience helped to enhance our workshop sessions and with her guidance we were able to develop a solid strategic plan for the next three years. Thank you, Sonja!”
- Nadia R, Chief Executive
Consultative, organised, reliable and professional…can’t recommend her highly enough.
“Sonja was thorough in her preparation for our strategy session, consultative, organised, reliable. She was consultative, organised, reliable, and professional at every stage and guided the team and Board through the entire process.
Sonja clearly has a deep understanding of business and is clearly skilled in keeping a group of people focused on the right things to achieve results. As a result, [the organisation] now has a clear, achievable but exciting roadmap for the year ahead. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
- Julie K, Chief Executive
An excellent job of facilitating…I highly recommend her as a facilitator.
“Sonja recently did an excellent job of facilitating a team building and planning session for my company. She provided really novel and innovative ideas to tailor the session to the specific outcomes we were seeking.
I was impressed with the time and effort Sonja put into preparing in advance and how she thought about all possible contingencies. As a great facilitator does, on the day she took a back seat and coached the team to contribute and bring out their best, resulting in a very fruitful session with great outcomes.
I highly recommend her as a facilitator.”
- Melissa D, General Manager
